I am convinced money has become the root of all evil – can’t live with it – can’t life without it.
I ponder this question often – Money is power I get that. Hey I am not innocent either – I want to make it just as much as the next person – But what I have realized is that we all need to make it and use it more constructivly – for good. Money does not define who you are. I think that concept somehow got lost or forgotten. I realized that it really cannot buy happiness, it buys diversions. I know that is a stupic cliche but for whatever reason to me it is a fact. We need it to live – pay bills – the essentials but where in the “book of life” does it say to be selfish and greedy with it??
Hmmm no where in living the American dream does it say go out and make a ton of money, have 2.5 kids paint the picket fence white and oh yea – hord the $, be selfish with it and “tithe unto no-one but to yourself”?
The one thing I have learned is that money is very important. But the big key here is not to fall in love with money – or decide you want to start collecting it…
The key is to want the things that money can buy. You want a few luxuries and to not worry about where the next bill is getting paid from. You should work towards realistic goals and a few of the opulent items as we should all have a little bit of luxury. And on your way to enjoying what you worked so hard for… be sure to give and give as much as you can…
