As we find ourselves in darker times in our economics, encouraged racism, war-like and power-hungry agendas of the US Government, and an epidemic of depression and other "invisible diseases", some can find character building and strength within themselves.
Others however, seem to find hope in shallow standards. And as times get tougher, hope gets brighter and standards raise. Some women call it "security" to wed a well financed man. But is that not just a different way to say that they lay down for money? There's another word for women like that.
what happened to compatibility of spirit and character in values of the opposite sex? Why when things get tougher its becomes increasingly more about money and looks? I mean, I can understand turning down an obese person for waking up worrying of a heart-attack is unhealthy. But its appalling how we seem to judge people with a slight pudginess as bad and unwanted as obesity.
I try not to rant like this, but I'm a writer (amateur by definition as far as money is concerned) and I get even crankier when I don't write. I'm primarily a writer on FaceBook, but I wonder if I should start multi-blogging.
But back to my point...
What is so great about money? I've yet to meet a farmer whom is insulted to be asked to for employment for food rather then money. I've yet to meet a hunter who wouldn't trade a little meat for veggies to go with the meat he consumes. Why the materialistic values based on finances?
"Money begets envy and envy is the root of all evil" it is written. You do not have to be of Abrahamic theologies (Christianity, Islamic, Judaism) to appreciate the wisdom in said statement.
Money is evil. People kill for it, turn against family, divorce for it, marry for it, turn family away for it, neglect family for it, assault for it, and many other things too numbered to list.
Power, we all have it. But some have to have more.
While both can do good, why doesn't it?
How can people talk of "forever" in love and marriage when the first sign of financial trouble or even just difficulties, some run off and lay down for the first fattened wallet they find? Like I've said: "There's another word for someone who lays/loves for money." In fact, they're kind ones by keeping the heart out of it. The ones called that other word is the kind one anyhow...
