The Real Meaning of Money   

Posted in philosophy, random | by evilbitz |



It’s time for a bit of philosophy :-)

It made clear to me, the meaning of money is “Making people do things for you”. In our lives, we have different goals, and in those paths to achieve those goals, we need other people’s help. We do not want to be bothered with sewing our own clothes, or picking oranges by ourselves.

It is the same when you are working for someone, he pays you to do whatever he wants, and it’s the same when one company pays another company for it’s services. We all try to make money in order to make other people do things for us.

Now, this is clear, but if we will give it a little thought we can see that rich people succeeded to be elevated than the others and they just got more people to do what they want.

Thinking that money equals a new mp3 player or a new TV set is just limited thinking.

So, the bottom line is money == people’s power.

If this is the meaning, then if you can make other people do things for you by other means, it’s like saving money. Charismatic people for instance are just born to be rich.

I came to think about it and it settles very good in my mind. Money… Personally, I look at money like a game, it’s like “points” for me. My goal is to achieve as many points as I can in order to win in this game of life.

    but this is just the first level in the game of life ;) the goal is to level up. if you just gather points, you wont find the exit.

    staying alive is not so much your choice ;) but you can increase your chances a bit by driving safe, not so much drinking and smoking, and all that stuff that kills you faster.

    as for the sex… well :) that’s certainly a bonus :-P

    i for one hope that there’s more to life than these things. dunno what it is yet, tho.

    As Ted Turner once said, “Life is a game. Money is how we keep score.”
