Money

[aonnde]

Why must everyone be obsessed with money? I understand that it makes the world go round, but, does it really make you happy? Some people revolve around money. Why? I am a religious person and money to me is like a symbol of a God other than our God as a people. So why do people trust in money more than they do God? For this reason are most people doomed on this planet? On every peice of money it sais "In God We Trust"

Actually, the only coin in my pocket at the moment has "ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA FD" on it, and "STANDING ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS" round the edge. "Every piece of money" is a slight exaggeration.

Hi & welcome. I do depend on money. I mean in some ways I do. It pays my bills. Therefore I am happy. It buys me things.. Again I am happy. To me it is not more important then GOD. Nothing or nobody is more important then GOD. If it wasn't for god then none of us wouldn't be here.

It's not really an obsession with most of us, but a necessity. It helps keep us fed, sheltered, educated, mentally and physically stimulated. I am now in the state of New Jersey, having recently flown from California to see my relatives and attend my oldest sisters 80th birthday. I am staying in a hotel for 10 days and eating meals out mostly. It takes money to do this, and I am fortunate that I can afford to do it. And yes, I am extremely happy, much more so than if I could not afford to be here right now.

It isn’t money that is the problem. It is the love of money that gets us into jams. As Lon says, money as a tool to get things done isn’t a problem.

"On every peice of money it sais "In God We Trust""

There was a group of Christians that wanted the "In God We Trust" taken off the coins. Their concern was that people who were gambling would be taking the name of God in vain.

If you have money your killing time. If your broke your loitering.

It is easy to say money is not important until your short.

I love money I love to spread it around, like manure (horse ****) it can do so much good. That's what it's for, spreading around.

I've heard it said that money buys us intellectual freedom, education, security...and the luxury of discussing whether money is good or bad.

It is a tool, a very powerful tool. It's only as good or bad as the person using it.

I agree and it is also believed that money is energy, I am not sure how that works, does it mean that if you are loaded you have more energy and if you are skint you have none?
There was some equation a friend gave me once about work + something = money but I can't remember the "something". Funny subject though, my parents in law are millionaires and miserable as sin, my own mum and dad manage to get by and are as happy as fish in a pond.
Perhaps it is all relative.
