Money, the pest of this world

You will not find a similar thing in this world like money. It is the only thing that in every form, state, availability or unavailability creates the same result.

Just a Slave

It makes you a slave of it no matter how much of it you have, nothing, a bit, less than nothing, a lot or even much more than a lot. And it’s not only money in the form you know it. It’s money in the form of any kind of exchange.

From Barter to Money

From the very beginning, when humans started to exchange things, from barter to the forms of money as you know them now, it took a controlling position in every aspect of life, existence, a guard who decides if you live, when and how happy you are allowed to be if you have food to eat and feed your children if you can enjoy the view of a blue ocean, or even how long you can live.

Bathing in an old concept. Money

You get born bathing in the idea of money, its concept and reality, you grow up with it always present, closer to you than anything else, persistently visible and invisible at the same time while you can never escape. Money feels so normal, you accept it as given and valid, natural, the thing you need to live, to move, to survive, to be happy, it's like the air you need to breathe. Even the conscious acceptance that everything depends on money is present and accepted and exchange is the right way of building societies.

In every kind of societal structure or system established since the beginning of the forming of evolutionarily developed conscious decision-making, exchange was present. You can say money was always there waiting for you to evolve, stand on both your feet, and discover fire. Before you barely started cooking you already knew very well what money is.

A lesson from history

If you regard human history, the time of the Pharaons, the time when massive amounts of slaves existed, they were born as slaves and died as slaves but they knew where they stood. And sometimes they watched the ones that were free and dared to dream of such freedom, imagining they were free too. Some may have strived for freedom or even tried to escape.

Now, when the luck of money is present in someone's life he (with very few exceptions) does not dream of freedom, he just dreams of more money. Some call it escaping the matrix but money is the cage everyone lives in. Like living in a cage with one banana to eat or a whole banana tree with ripe attractive bananas. It's just where you look at. The cage's rusty metal bars or the ripe bananas.  But just because you may choose to ignore the cage, doesn't make it go away. You are always locked up and the question remains unanswered.

Do you want to be free?

The next step

Let's assume one indeed strives for freedom. But how does he know what freedom looks like, how it feels?

And what is it good for?

We will explore the nature of freedom, free choice and its effects on the available decision chains that form paths that have never been explored before. Coming soon here.
