Money can make you love or hate. It can make you fight and compete?What would the world be without money? Let us examine for a second or more the implications of a paperless world. In a system we can all relate lets start by stating the obvious use or need for money.
1. We need money for food.
- imagine going to a supermarket and asking the cashier,your neighbor, Hey Ms. Sue, listen up, a may I borrow three loafs of wheat bread, two sliced turkey, 3 package chicken breasts, tin of baked beans, pack of spaghetti,a bottle of milk, some cereal and canned fruits, please? She would think you're crazy! Stop it.Your trying to get me fired?Stop wasting by time. Next!
2. We need money for living expenses and others
-imagine telling your landlord you dont think you will be able to afford rent for say aa the next year or two. He would probably say, o,sure you can live here free of cost and by the way I'll pay for the light, water, cable and phone-bill as well. Have a good life! No.Worse, if you have a mortgage under NHT- you definitely need that cheddar.Yes. Education may be the key but if you cant afford it, no door will be opened for you. hint. The Doctor wants to help you, you need to help him first. The pastor has a family to feed and manna no longer drops from heaven.
3. We need money for clothes and other comforts
- This one is tricky. We need good durable shoes, good comfortable wearable fabrics, and the rest. By the rest I mean a nice watch is not a crime, for some women jewelery is not a luxury, a nice car will ease the pressure of time and sweat, technology makes life better, amen! For imagine a world without Laptops,cellphones, pagers, calculators, music players (there so many nowadays)appliances and other cool gadgets of communication we use at our discretion. Imagine not having money to buy them. Money is needed for Infrastructures in business, entertainment, recreation, sports and other activity of human interest. Without these infrastructures- goods and services cannot be maintained and organized for convenient access and distribution to the public. For example-without a supermarket to store food, how would we survive a famine without a reserve?
What else do we need money for?
4. We need money to travel and see the world.
- This is a good one. Imagine going to a airport with just a cheap drivers license (it is cheap) and telling the front desk operator
- one trip to Paris please o and make it first class, yes. No! I guarantee you will be escorted first class, but it wont be to the terminal! See even money is big business.
5. Finally, and the most obvious reason
- we use money because everyone else uses money. Economics will tell you the more there is a demand the more there is need for supply. Nearly everything demands money nowadays- even a bottle of water! The more people there are who share an accepted currency, the more that currency is enforced to keep people using it. Make sense?Virtually the entire world uses some sort of currency. If the majority of the world population would wake up and decide to stop using money altogether, according to this law of economics the majority will win. People always follow what works and is more convenient. Nobody wants to loose. Hence money is in.
Now imagine if all major farmers across the world decided to go on a strike. We're screwed. How many of us have knowledge, plant our own food, to build our own homes, make our own clothes, and shoes? Are creative people still in town? How much can we do for ourselves?I guess the only safety would be to learn some vital skills for ourselves.
To me money is like magic. I'll tell you why-Its seems to have a captivating charm effect on people. You'll be surprised at what some people will do for a little cake (money). Im no mathematician or economic financial market guru but a little common sense is all I need. Money makes the world spin, we all know that, we should, but the mystery still exsists. For if money makes the world spin, then who makes money spin? That one will take another blog and more. But you already know the answer.
So why do we want money?Because we need all these things.Why do we need them?Because we cant do without them.But to answer the question set from the beginning, Its pretty simple to me. Without money, we would inevitably find a way to eat, live, cover ourselves and make life easier. Thought I dont know how the extremely rich would take this suggestion. Probably not so well. Without money or any other form of exchange we would probably be forced to depend on each other in some way or another.
Maybe thats exactly what we need. Maybe not!
