My Beloved Friend, MONEY

Well, undoubtedly money is the best and most remarkable human invention compared to any other cool inventions. No doubt about that. No money, everything will collapse and become ruin, metaphorically speaking.

I believe that money is everything. In and out of human life, is money, nothing but money. Amount of money is proportional to the amount of happiness we'll get. More money, happier we are. If we have loads of money, we can buy anything. Anything that we can think of. Anything that we can imagine. Big and small, easy or complicated, tangible or intangible, important or not important. Nothing really matters really if we have loads of money. Anything under the sun is just how much money, if we have loads of money.

Imagine if money was not invented. Human will exchange stuffs. My nephew, Buson, will have difficulties going to college because he need to bring half chicken to trade for a pack of pencils, a herd of buffalo to trade for airplane ticket, a boxful of banana for a rim of A4 paper and so on. That will be a disaster. So money was invented to ease the management of human's livelihood. It is merely for the physical world. You wouldn't want to carry goats around to exchange for a nice dinner when you do for a date would you.

But when I mention 'money can buy ANYTHING', mind of some people starts to roam freely, way far beyond the physical world and into the spirit world. And then they find something called the salvation of the soul, and they thought..hmmm salvation is very expensive, money can't buy the... and soon they realize, automatically their mind said 'money can't but EVERYTHING'. That is kind of odd. Money and salvation, soul, spirit... That is totally not what money is designed for int he first place. Its the human's handicapped mind that pulled the thought that corrupt the purpose of money in the first place. Human with proper mind and sane mine will never equate money with the intangible realm, especially the realm of the spirit and the unknown. Money was invented so that we don't have to carry goat around for am meal. How would this got to do with salvation of the spirit? I don't understand.

We, sane mind, should not equate money with our salvation. We should not say 'money can't buy my salvation' because by saying such thing, we have already put value to the salvation. Money indeed can buy anything under the sun as long as that anything have value associated with it. Is money root of all evil? Nope. Money is pure, money didn't do any sin. It is Human that created the evil using money as the tool. Therefore money is bad? No way. Human is bad. Perhaps we should have stick to the 'exchange' method instead of money. Probably in that case, no money no root of all evil.

As long as we are in this world, find money, create money and spend money. The more money you have, the better your in the society, most importantly, education of your children are definitely assured.
