Yes mushroom, your right.
It can come off as silly, but I think why I do what i do is imperative. Actions are actions, but if your motivator is different it can make a huge difference. My relationship with money leads me to not take it very seriously, and especially not make it worth more than it is.
I would disagree that modern money is a good idea, or the best yet as characterized. Old gold coins, sure, but not modern money, which is a great game. I spent years learning about economics, because it was so nonsensical. You mean there always has to be inflation? Why? That seems a little absurd. And credit, not really a good idea. May be for a farmer to be able to plant in the spring, but not to float your lifestyle on. I personally have no credit. I don't believe in credit. So when the gov't comes after me and demands it's money owed, I can politely say that credit is against my beliefs. So is getting stuff for free. Silly humans. "Air Miles card?", "No", "Do you want one", "Not at all", "But you get free stuff", "Does Air Miles exist only to give me free shit?", "Of course!"... Every day.
And yes, as soon as people are bathing in money in a hip-hop videos, and the precedent is to trade time, energy and some things more sacred for it, we have entered into an unhealthy relationship with an object.
But money is worthless, it only pretend to hold value as long as the system stands. If the lights went out and did not come back on, no one would care how many pictures of dead presidents you have. Food. Weapons. Firewood. These have real value.
But yeah, I think it is important to define my motivators for what I do. I don't think myself better than anyone, it is not an exercise in bragging. It is just important to me.
I play music and pain and write poetry too!
Wanna hear one I wrote?
Watching birds,
Wonder if they dream,
Of running.
Thanks.
