There are a lot of thoughts about money out there. There are ideologies and systems that say it is the greatest good and that money is the source of everything good in life, likewise there are those that say it’s the greatest evil. Even my own mindset towards money has evolved and changed the more that I learn and the more that I think about it. First off I don’t think money is evil, at least in the traditional sense.
You need money to survive in life, that’s a fact. It’s just about impossible to live off the grid nowadays and even if you did you might get a team pounding and your door and shooting you up for some trumped up B.S. anyways, my point being the vast majority of us are going to need money to live, survive, and thrive. And the best ways to acquire money are sales, copywriting, and marketing attached to something (they’re also great teachers of human nature as well).
However I would also say that the international money system is probably the greatest source of what we’d generally call evil in the world as well. And to combine it with that, money has less and less value with every day that goes by. Putting the majority of people on an endless hamster wheel that’ll never go anywhere. But it’s more like a hamster wheel that has scrolling scenery next to it to make us thinking we’re getting somewhere when we’re not.
Something I Learned Recently
We all know that the media is powerful, right now I’m writing during the…”pandemic” where governments have told people to stay inside and do nothing for risk of getting a sickness. But this has also thrown many small businesses out of business, many have lost their jobs, and overall I think has exposed a great many things. First off if you don’t think there is worldwide coordination between countries (or new world order if you want to be dramatic) you’re a moron.
Second you realize that an economy is really a joke, it’s not much of a real thing. When you have things like the Federal Reserve (or other central banks) combined with the media, the economy is whatever they say it is. The media can destroy (and build?) to economy at will. Taking small things and making them large and taking large things and making them small. People who thought they were doing the “smart” thing by investing in the stock market have lost tons of money (if something consistently burns people why it is considered reliable? I mean I get it trends upwards but still can we call it “safe” and “reliable”?).
And a whole lot of other nonsense has taken place. Again I write during the middle of this (though it’ll be published at a later date because I like to write at least a month or two ahead of myself) who knows what new draconian laws we’ll have when it’s all over. Never let a good crisis go to waste after all. This isn’t to get “conspiratorial” (though everyone knows something is up) rather it’s to state facts and hopefully stimulate some thought about all of this. But anyways if the thing called the economy isn’t “real” at least in the sense that we usually think about what’s to be done?
Money As Useful But Not As Useful As You Think
Not to sound like a prepper but the more you can wean yourself off of money I think the better you’ll be. In you live somewhere like the United States it’s only a matter of time before the currency becomes valueless and we have a Weimar America, okay we already have that but I mean the economic side of it. And when it’s ten grand to buy a loaf of bread then how much is you six figure job going to matter? I’m not saying this will happen today or tomorrow but it is something to think about long term.
Also not saying you have to move out into the country on a self-sufficient farm (not saying don’t do that either) but I just see a whole of instability coming up for the Western world sometime soon. And granted that so many of my readers are from the Western world or want to go there I figure it makes sense to talk about it. Money is unreliable and fickle at best. Especially when beholden to certain places, people, factions, or whatever you want to call it.
You don’t have to believe in “conspiracy theories” or whatever to believe that, it’s staring everyone right in the face. Especially with this whole “pandemic” business. Essentially the economy is a joke, it’s not a serious thing, and it can be manipulated at will by those who don’t take part in it the way that you and I do. You don’t have to be a Christian (or a faith of any kind) to understand the utility of “coming out of Babylon” or at least detaching yourself from it more and more. Just some things to think about.
For me lately I’ve been going places that are more and more green and liking it more and more. You may be different but something to think about.
