besides being a means to enslavement such as capitalism. money keeps back man's progress and development on both a global as well as a personal
scale.
one child is born to a empoverished family and can barely afford to get to school much less the books and clothing. he goes to school looking 'less'
to the other kids in their materialistic mindset who pick on him for his appearance which is no fault of his own that he could not wear nice threads
and clothes or have the latest iphone. he may unfortunately drop out of school or commit suicide. but that same child could've created the cure for
cancer given the same opportunity as others who have it all as far as material possessions go.
on a global scale you can see money is a hinderance in operations. companies delay implementing new security because of the cost.. thus all the
customer accounts get hacked and the customers all suffer as a result.
water.. the supply of water is nothing that can be wasted. unless contaminated beyond being drinkable. however.. leaving the tap on is not wasting
water. it is in fact.. wasting money. the money the water company has to spend to pump the water to your home with their equipment, the cost of
maintaining and upgrading the equipment etc. the more u use it the faster it breaks down causing them to spend more money to provide you with
something that is freely available.
if i was unclear about anything u can let me know.. ive been in a rather vague explanatory mood lately.
but yes.. gold, silver and diamonds are nothing more than shiny rocks.. the same as cavemen would collect and take to the cave for their cavemate.
she'd stash the shiny rocks and fancy shells. however, the question remains.. what is it worth to her when she's dead.
i would work for free if all my basic necessities were covered for as well as any experiences i wish to explore. learning the tech behind the new
iphone, the experience of driving a hot car, sitting in a college class about space navigation or going to learn to be a vet at a top college without
the hinderance of the cost factor.
all that keeps these things away from the masses is cost. as a result ppl are denied experiences, advancements etc because they could not afford. but
one may have found a way to use an iphone as a particle accelerator by having one to play with (just saying). we dont know how many we have denied the
opportunity to contribute to the evolution and development of mankind and the world, and as a result.. have denied ourselves.
