The world, yes, our world is an ageing system. The holding barriers of the deats of many and the turn to unorthodox ways have also become a resolute to one cause. This cause is something we have been entirely dependent on . This cause is what we call money. Money has become a widespread medium in all aspects of our life. They buy you clothes, cars, marriages, body parts, sex, power and satisfaction. What is it that we deem so material that only money can be superior to match it? Why has man chosen to follow the rites of fortune to implement war and conflict between man? Sports has been ruined as players do not play when salaries do not meet their demands. The sake of play has been gone and the spirit, destroyed.
Earlier in the history of mankind, we took the route of bartering where ppl would trade cows for potatoes or water for carrots. Then came the use of gold coins and so on so forth. Thereafter came inflation and the introduction of the stock exchange. Does it all boil down to greed? If not, why money? Is there no other way to discuss formalities without the use of bank notes with the faces of our forefathers or cheques that displays the amount of currency?
The world has been constantly taken over by humanity or rather in humanity. People have died stealing , died tradng, died losing money and died while saving money . And all that for what cause? Survival. I used to believe that money could never buy you happiness and that even if it meant you were poor it wouldn matter. Mayb ein lucky aspects or lucky countries with nice natives, that would be the case. But one day, you'd realise money makes ppl smile, it makes ppl agree, it gives you what you want to see. What they said was right. You cant have the best of both worlds. Instead, you have to make do with what you have. If you are poor, try to be happy by playing with your friends. If you are rich , ur happy by spending the money on the joyful riches of life. no?
The humane reason to keep surviving is to constantly improve ourselves. Yet , does it appeal to all of you how things will be like 10 years from now? 15 years from now? How much will you have? how will you send your kids to university? Life, starts when ur one and ends only when ur generation ends. Because what you do follow suit to what your sons do and what they teach their sons eventualy. Money has destroyed but money has also enriched the comrades and the allies of the world itself.
But thats not why im writing all this. You see the morphing of barter to cash and cash to death or happiness. Is all that a mirage? Maybe so. But one things for sure. The older you get you have more and more holes to fill and that will not stop because of the existing cause of currency. Bottom line?
What you make of yourself is eventually what money makes of you
