Paper money

RE: Paper money
Greetings,

The world is rushing ahead so quickly, and we're all still trying to catch up. I don't want to come to any generalizing conclusions, but look, I personally place no value to money. It is something that I wish I could live without and know I could if I was able to garner the proper eco-friendly sources such as solar panels and various green materials that allow a life of renewable consumption without the need to place further pressure on the grid of both electronics and economics.

Money may not be the root of all evil, but it is the cause of it in the behaviors of those that give it value. I see no value in cash both paper and metal, so it is not uncommon for me to spend it so wastingly, or intelligently. I will agree, however, that the overabundance of paper money is causing a major ripple in this once balancing stream. Metal currency is renewable through recycling, but people print too much paper cash to cause obscene inflation. Lowering the value. It is basic understanding, the more of it people have, the less value it contains.

My cash is also mostly in digital form and that detaches my sense of personal connection even further. In this age of digita, cash in a physical form may be entirely obsolete. You might as well pay with gold farmed from monsters in World of Warcraft. So I can't say it is the root of all evil, but I can agree that it is essentially worthless. Those that give it value, are blind. I always like to think that it isn't money that makes people happy, but what you do with it that can.
