Whether we Americans realize it or not, most of our lives are spent making, spending, saving, gifting, you name it- money. Why do most of us go to work or school everyday? To make a “living.” It seems like such a silly thing to waste so much of ourselves on. I mean really, we center our lives around glorified pieces of paper? If we should worship anything, shouldn’t it be something more important? The ancient Greeks worshipped beauty and truth. Though that may seem frivolous to some, to me it makes much more sense than the current system- at least the truth part. There are so many wonderul things in this world and it seems like money just brings out the worst in us.
I suggest we start caring more about things like, oh I don’t know, each other? Or maybe this amazing planet we all take advantage of or the beatuy of sensual pleasures and everything around us which inspires us to grow into better individuals?
