What can you say?

"Know that Money cannot be eaten?"

if money cannot be eaten, are you sure you are here?

This is a very big question mark.

    Not sure about that ...
    ... but there is one interesting though from Mad Magazine:
    "The only reason a great many American families don't own an elephant is that they have never been offered an elephant for a dollar down and easy weekly payments."

    Money is an equivalet, medium of exchange. If a child helps its mother to do the house and receives in exchange an icecream after lunch you may deem it as its earnings for the day...

      Money is meaningless and millions of people die, rob, steal and kill in the name of this meaningless tangible. We say that money is valuable and some will say that it is more valuable than life itself. What have we been taught to believe throughout the history of the modern wo/man?

      We have been taught that slavery of millions of people must be good because slavery produces millions of meaningless tangibles.

      We have been taught that war between nations is good because banks that hold this meaningless tangible get funded from both sides of the war and he that wins the war has to opportunity to write the history books.

      We have been taught that social classes are necessary because it pushes us to want more out of life when in fact it only creates separateness that leads to more war, slavery and thus meaningless tangibles.

      I am not my bank account no matter the value because there is no greater value than love and being in love with Self is being detached from this meaningless tangible. Money does not buy you anything! It does not buy happiness, love, world peace or peace with Self. Money only creates the illusion of what we think a life worth living is all about.

      So which is better time well spent or money well spent? You see, money you can get back if you lose it. Time is the most precious commodity to the human family and once it's gone it's gone forever. So time well spent can be achieved without a dime in your pocket. And so therefore, time well spent or your life in general is valuable beyond measure! Meaning you can't measure a good life but you sure can measure money... $1 for you, $5 for you, and $100 for you.

      So with all that said, yes I'm in pursuit of more money because the people of this world deem it necessary for me to have such a meaningless tangible, so if I want to experience something that requires money, well then I better have enough of it. Plus we have to support our families and the list goes on and on. I guess what I'm trying to say is that money is just money... nothing more or nothing less. But you life is everything! Chase after your dreams and the money will follow. Chasing after money will lead you nowhere!

    Let's debate what? Slavery? Race?

    Both time, thought and money spent/invested are well-spent/invested.

    What is TIME but the measure of our LIFE?

    What is SLAVERY but the measure of our (regardless of skin color or socio/economic status), an adherence to currently popular social beliefs and standards>irrespective of historical, sociological, or whatever? We're ALL, regardless of race, religion or ethnic background, unconscious and completely unaware of our childhood upbringing, the mental images we all have, regarding life values.

    While I know this is much less of an issue than in generations past, as regards to racial color, I want to emphasize that this is NOT about race or color. it IS ABOUT YOUR OWN - yes, your very own and very personal response to life.
