Money isn't everything
At least, that is what we are told. Technically, that statement is correct. There are birds, trees, grass, air, ground, water....maybe even love too. Maybe....I suspect.On my trip up to a pool tournament, my mind got thinking about money. And without money, one would not be able to do a whole lot. Virtually everything revolves around money. It is getting so you need to pay for water to drink...in some cases...you need to.
Now, what about that old saying, money cannot buy love.
Let me think about how love develops.
The clothes I wear cost money.
The comb I use cost money.
The soap I use cost money.
The shoes I wear cost money.
The razor I use cost money.
The car I drive cost money.
The insurance cost money.
The gas cost money.
The safe tires on it cost money.
The heat in my house cost money.
The electricity cost money.
The food I eat cost money.
The house itself cost money.
The full mouth of teeth cost money.
The haircut cost money.
The scissors cost money.
So....directly...yes...I agree....money don't buy love.
But it sure as hell facilitates in it developing.

...anyway...gotta go folks...chat soon.
Happy Saturday/Sunday all.
Everybody had their own notion of how much money they need to fund their lifestyle. Some are happy with that. Some will never be happy
Maslow:
According to Maslow, we have five categories of needs: physiological, safety, love, esteem, and self-actualization. In this theory, higher needs in the hierarchy begin to emerge when people feel they have sufficiently satisfied the previous need
Money is just a means to an end...nothing more...
If you have lots of money, and flaunt it, the joke is on you...
Not anymore, everything cost money.
People don't do FAVORS any more. if they give you a ride they want money for the gas.
It is the Capitalistic society we live in and the greed of humans.
I suspect wealth status is a prerequisite for many love connections.
As Robert would most likely say in his post here in this blog....love....love that money.
or something like that.
Temporarily being around toxic people and living around them is sort of different.
But, becoming one of them....and bringing them home for the night....is that that same...I wonder.
I would never do that.
Love is not about money or material things or how much you can buy for a person. Money can’t buy love. Love is “earned” through trust and what you give of yourself. I have learned that people will love you the same whether you spend tons of money on them or whether you simply spend time with them, giving what you can from within yourself. There’s nothing wrong with buying gifts for people, just don’t do it for the wrong reasons. Know that it’s you they love, not what comes out of your wallet.
I agree with much of what you said...but would that really be true love...I wonder.
By the way...those Raiders made minced meat out of my Lions.
if you live isolated in the woods on somebody else's land because you have no money whatsoever, I doubt you will find love out there....but maybe.
There are tv shows now with that sort of living...even with no clothes on.
I agree with that 100%.
But...with no money whatsoever...I would suspect you would have a difficult time meeting your partner to spend all that quality time together with in the first place. Unless people don't mind driving around picking up homeless people and bringing them on date...and developing love.
If someone really loves you they’ll love you for you, not for what you can buy them. They’ll love who you are as a person, your heart, your joy, happiness, sadness, being able to life each other up, and whatever other traits you have that make you…you.
Evidently, I have never experienced genuine love....I had all I could to get a plate of food from her once a week.
Okay...I see I am starting to get off on a new path...maybe one worth blogging about one day. :)
Thank you YSA....you are a lovely lady.
It isn’t money that matters in a relationship; it’s your heart, who you are as a person.
He has a huge pop can collection, and I am betting that is why he is single.
just teasing, here...you can bring pop cans back into the store for money.
Yes, bartering....new car = wet night
The point of this blog was to point out...no matter if we like it or not...there has to be some sort of money required in assisting in the development of love.
Even more money if that love is overseas. (as a bonus point here)
Everything cost money...
Nothing is for free, not even a favour, as you have to pay all back with never-mind what a.s.a.p.
I am starting to think that a lot of these deadbeat dads learned some things off the internet....and got a lot of women pregnant. But, that is another blog. ...perhaps one I just wrote too.
Thanks for sharing.
...so...money is just about everything...including the facilitating for love to happen....love = happiness
Hi Johnny..
BTW, I am not against open borders either.
