Honest opinion about money
How do you feel when someone says: "money is everything".More importantly how does one react to someone who's motivation is all about money?
I know for a fact that 10% of the world's population has no problem about money. Musk, Soros, Besos, Bates are all in that category. But I also know that about three quarter of the world's population live under the injustice of poverty. Which means having no money.
Should we all be focused on making money? Don't get me wrong. I know how easy life can be with a lot of money but I never ever considered money as everything. Maybe I should.
Note: Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand holds the highest influence in my life.
Another note: Communist and socialist countries can't make money as their goal, can they?
Your opinion, contributions and ideas are all appreciated.
Thank you.

I have been with the very rich, who never talked about what they had. In my case they were Christians.
I have also been with the very poor. I had my birthday at their home and brought all the goodies to the home.......................
Also it is claimed by the same poster that the world's economy revolves around money. I vehemently said NO. PRODUCTION IS. Productivity of the people and the country as a whole makes economy flourish. Money is of course a result of that production.

I'm pleased to hear that because nothing is closer to God than the needy.
As for Marxism your best chance of getting someone to do a terrible job for free is if there was a war on. But who knows maybe one day you could get paid to drink margherita through a plastic straw, and suddenly Marxism makes sense.

IMHO: Money is a channel of Power. But it is limited to power over material items: clothing, homes, food, cars, entertainment, etc......that are of THIS era. I Lifetimes past, groups of people had no "money". Their food and Lifestyle was based on their connection to the earth much more directly than you find today in "civilized countries". That direct connection to the 'Source' of their existence was a Spiritual one no matter what goup of people you belonged to: Native American, Scandinavian, European....that is, until they ecame "civilized" and "trade" was replaced by "money". So now, we must choose how we see Life Goals.....do we "go for the gold"? totally denounce 'money'? or choose somewhere in between? Of course, as seen in Maslow's 'pyramid of actualization', physical existence comes foremost at the bottom. As we become more self-sufficient and our basic physical needs are moet. we can choose to stop there and continue to push for the material objects society says we should want or we can continue up the pyramid moving into more Inner Awareness while maintaining a basic level of physical Life using money rather than being 'used' by it.
Money is a means of barter. Nations invent them to level the playing field. I need a cow. Trade you this hog.
Money fills a need. I will buy your cow for this many coins..this many pieces of paper our society deems worth an amount.
When people have more interest in those pieces of currency, beyond love, family, living..then they have a mental issue.
People need enough to supply their rational needs. Comfort in old age. But, the 1 percent have so much, it means nothing except getting more.
Sad part is after a lifetime of work and hoarding, they lay in the dirt like everyone else.
Rich man, poor man, beggarman, thief...they get the same 6 feet of dirt in their face.

When people say, life is about money, I'm truly shamed by it.
Money is a means of barter. Nations invent them to level the playing field. I need a cow. Trade you this hog. I dont need nor want a hog. Plus it is not worth what my cow is. Now what? Get half a cow? Hard to do if you want it for milk.

And he said, as long as the money is in your hand, it is OK, it will ruin you if it gets into your brain.

As the people phenomena that money is everything or money makes the mare go.
In my view I do trust in such money.
It's all about your thinking and how to earn money. Less money which earned by legal means is enough for happiness and harmony.
More money earned by illegal means is tension and depression.
Stay Blessed Lindsyjones.
