Why is money ruling the world?

[southerngentuk]

(...)

I really sympathize with what you have to say, but the truth is that I see the problem as only personal to you or to me. I think the problem of money is dominating people's lives as much as necessary, creating an invisible barrier that makes it difficult for us to live comfortably. The general situation of the world economy is also very bleak, and there are also positive changes, but for me, one person sees that when we have enough opportunities to create them, knowing enough for ourselves is necessary. Many people are poor, and many are rich, social stratification is different. But there is also one thing that I understand that when we are living, we have accepted everything that happens, so being rich or poor is just another form of life, and if we take things lightly, life will feel less stressful.

Money drives away every feelings that makes life better. Money is truly powerful

Feeling sorry for you, i hope your problems come to peace. Secondly, money is not ruling the world. Some international trading rules has been forced or agreed upon to keep the pace of economy and development up in the competition. In simple, there were no money (paper or digital money) back in days, people trade goods with goods and services with services. than the reign of coin came up in which equal amount of silver, gold etc. are being used to buy product and services. But then world shifts to paper money for ease in access and in carrying it. And now world i shifting to digital money (cryptocurrency). i am sharing some sources from where you can get broader concept of how things started from stealing to buying and selling.

• The History of Money: How Our Currency Evolved from Pelts to Money
  
• History of Money

These compilation will give you some idea why there is a need of money and how it impacted the lives of human beings. If you ask, Can money buy happiness? then yes nothing in the world expect love, that you can not buy with money. But as for you scenario there is no money and government is failing then i must say (i know giving advice is easy and fulfilling it is very hard but) you guys can shift back to same old method of goods for goods and services for services. in this if you have any skill (if you have not then you have no option to learn one) or if you produce any product then you can trade them with your required products and services. Those in the world who says money can't buy happiness is a total lie. Those who can do whatever they can or at least fulfil the needs and wishes of themselves or there loved ones are the ones who understand the importance of money in making you happy. No doubt i have seen many people with lot of money and still living a life full of problems. All in short for you i can say, be strong this time will pass and raise international awareness about  you government. i do not know from which country are you from but i can related your conditions to some extent with me because we are also near to being declared as default ( why same reason, illiterate gov.)

Money is the name of god. The more god essences (money) you collect, the godlier you will become.

Take a look at Elon Musk for example. He is a very godlike being. He has billions, he is making rockets go boom, manufacturing electric cars and solar roofs... He has everything a man would dream.

Donald Trump. The man is so rich, he became the president of the America even though he wasn't originally a politician... Another godlike being.

I can give you many examples. People think religions are a lie, the gods don't exist. They don't realize gods are living among us.



"IN GOD WE TRUST"

says on the back of a US dollar.

By "GOD", they mean the US Dollar.


People often think immortality is impossible. No. You just don't have enough money (god essences) to pay for it.

The politicians are ruling the world and how do they do it in corrupt countries. They do it with money. When they must have stollen the people's money to the brim. They will begin to use the money to oppress the people.
They make policies that will push the people more to poverty so that during elections they will see people they will bring. If everyone earns reasonably, no one would definitely accept their bribes and they will lose power.
So, they use money to acquire power and use power and money to suppress the people.

But if the people didn't give the politicians this power in the first place they won't have seen or have the means to oppressed them. We're the cause of our problems most times because we know this politicians are evil yet we still go and elect them into office because of the promises they say during campaigning which we all know won't be fulfilled.

Money rules the world because it's a means of exchange that the society has adopted for our daily necessities. You need money to survive in the modern world as without it you can't do the basic things that's needed. Money gives power and power commands respect which is what is been used for ruling.

The debt experienced by bankrupt countries like Sri Lanka is because the Sri Lankan government cannot take advantage of the country's original resources, most countries are in debt because they want to pursue modern and infrastructure so that when problems occur it will be complicated, it is true that the easiest thing to colonize a country is with money, namely provide loans with high interest.

For me, money is everything, when I have money I can order anyone, buy anything, even happiness. Our world has changed and we need to adapt to it if we don't want to be eliminated. Money is just a man-made tool to serve us, but in the end, we are all manipulated by it, it's a sad truth, but the world works that way now.

I think I read it here or on reddit somewhere and I talked about it before. I believe that money is like a key and life is filled with doors, the more money you have, the more doors you can open and if you don't have money then you do not have that many doors and you would live a limited life, if you have a lot then you can open all the doors and can decide how you want to live.

My life is very limited because of money, I need at least another 10-20 thousand dollars to just cover the "dreams" that I have which is very small, like see another nation, get another thing for my house and so forth, but considering the situation we are in, I would say that it is not going to happen, and I started to learn to live with that.

Money rules the world because a man who is a billionaire is respected and loved by everyone. Why? Because he has the superpower to control everything from money whether a person or a thing. We can’t even think a man who has no money in his pocket can easily rule the world. That’s the reason the world is only ruling by those who have money to do all the things that they want which is although a darker side of our lives.

So a man who is not a billionaire cannot be respected, simple as that, which is why men are treated as trash unless they have money, the world has gone so cold on men, we can't all win, someone must be more powerful than the other. Today's world has forgotten that men are still humans, not superhumans. Because of this, the world expects a lot of more from men, and if they can't keep up, they are a failure. What a cold world we live in.

Why only men? I think without money, no one is respected. I have witnessed a painful truth in my village: when an old mother has no wealth left to her children. Her children all became heartless, no one took care of her, even kicked her out into the street because no wealth was left, and no one wanted to spend more money to feed the old woman.

In today's society, if I don't want to use the word wretched, I don't know what word to use, if we don't have money, then even if we are a husband and wife, no one will respect each other. Money is ruling everything and it is the priority in every relationship.

That's what you saw, in my own world, women always find someone to help them, more easily than men, if you are female I pray you turn to a man for just 24hours, you will know what I am talking about, men are loved and care for only when they are rich and can provide, even if a man struggles all the days of his life, he is still nobody until he makes it.

On the female side, it is a different story, there is no 'you are a man, so man up' in their world, they get help easily, they find job easily, they are loved easily, even from their parents.

Grow up as a boy, your mother will love you as her child, and you as a child will be saying that you love your mother the most, because she cares, get to 20+,  that's when you will know that the reason why it look like your father never cared was because he has to provide.  At this point onward, you will realize that your father love you all along, and as a man he will tell you some stuffs about women.

As most poverty stricken country in this world just like mine, it would only normal to say that money is the most important resource you need in order to survive.

I have seen a lot, from young to old people who already finished their studies that wanted to find their jobs to build their career but still struggle due to the lack of financial support. As the world nowadays, it'd be hard to make money without money as an initial investment excluding the fact that you can gain money by providing services or selling your skills. If you want to learn or earn, most of the times the requirement is a certain specific condition that also needs money.

Let's hop into the world of priorities such as food. As what I've said above, us living on the poverty stricken country could feel the changes on the economy by experiencing expensive necessities such as food. With inflation leading the prices to skyrocket, we are left to find alternatives just for us to have a good meal on our tables.

Money is the most valuable thing in the world today because we all use what we can afford to exchange money, how do we do this? Through buying and selling.

If money wasn't valuable in the world today we wouldn't have our impressive belongings like gold, crowd oil, Bitcoin, and all the rest.

People often think immortality is impossible. No. You just don't have enough money (god essences) to pay for it.

Money can pay for luxuries and whatever else you want, but it won't make your life any longer than it needs to be. This means that there is no eternity in this world, actually we only live to enjoy this world for a while. Even the apocalypse is really will coming, it is a belief. So there's no reason to deify money, it's really just something that's useless after death. But I know you're probably just kidding. LOL

[bettercrypto]

You know there are only two things that can happen, you control the money or you control the money. The choice between the two I mentioned is ours.

     It's true that money is important, but I don't believe that if you don't have money you will die in poverty, it's not like that. There are as many ways as how we can have it.

All we need is to have life plans, goals, targets, and above all dreams. In order for us to have a lot of money, let's imitate the style that businessmen do, but let's not control the money. I hope you got what you want if I point out what I'm saying.

Why money??

Because money is the only thing that is used everywhere as a transfer of value. That's the simplest answer to this question. Global banks and governments need a tool to transfer values from one place to another. That's where money came in and now rulling the world.

You replace money with monkey and monkeys will start rulling the world! As simple as that!

We have other things that can work as a store of value not just the traditional money. Bitcoin for example. Then there is gold and so on. There are other important things in this world and not just money but money is just too mainstream. It can be because of its form which is more easy to carry and can be found or accepted almost anywhere.

When it comes to global transfers, Bitcoin can work better than this because it is online and then there is no restrictions whatsoever because there are no third parties that are involved here. Governments and banks around the world should consider this type of payment method but I think some of them are already supporting it.

I guess this is about Nigeria and their recent demonetisation incidence? Heard and read the news and can easily related that they have done terrible job at executing the entire thing. They should have done it in step by step manner where only single note to be demonetised. Or may be two of them and then so on. They thought they would do it quickly and try to get the currency more valued against the USD. They have not thought this through. They actually made it even worse to be honest. Have they thought about the poor condition in the country? Peeps are already risking it all with what they had and now it got worst. Hope so they get over it soon.

[slashz9]

money does give us strength or power, and other advantages you can do or buy whatever you want.
so yes people who have a lot of money tend to be more powerful or at least they have a lot of access to enjoy life and avoid suffering.
wont lie but with money mostly our problem life are solved.

[superman184]

Money is the most valuable thing in the world today because we all use what we can afford to exchange money, how do we do this? Through buying and selling.

Besides buying and selling can be a way to exchange money, buying and selling can also be a way to circulate more money. And money can be valuable when the value is there and it doesn't disappear, because there is also money whose value is no longer there so it can't be used for buying and selling or for anything else. An example is old money that is no longer accepted by the public and also its circulation has been revoked or withdrawn by the government to be replaced with new ones.

If money wasn't valuable in the world today we wouldn't have our impressive belongings like gold, crowd oil, Bitcoin, and all the rest.

There is some truth to this, but from one of the sources I read today it is said that fiat money is money whose value is not inherent but is created by the human system. If citizens lose faith in the money supply and believe that money will become worthless in the future, economic activity can come to a halt. This is one of the main reasons the US Federal Reserve is acting so diligently to keep inflation in check—a little is good, but too much can be disastrous.

In short, money has value because people believe they will be able to exchange this money for goods and services in the future. This belief will persist as long as people do not fear future inflation or the failure of the issuing institution and its government. Source: thoughtco

Just like fuel is important to a car so as money is important to man you can't do without it imagine seeing the valuable things in the world and you cannot afford them it weakens you and makes you feel uncomfortable     most people ask this very questions if money rules the world money doesn't rule the world but it serve as a purpose of exchanging goods, treasuries and also paying bills money only makes us fell ok because of the confidence people find in it they also believe it is a source of power and also our source of living even when we were kids we have already known about money as an important treasure I think people only value money

The mist of human fears is control by what is next to their breath. Money has power than anything, money makes one feels secure, alive and superior. When money leaves we felt life is gone, we feel dead, we feel empty, we feel hopeless.

Generally Money has become the ruling force in the world because of its ability to provide security, strength, and superiority to individuals and institutions. It is a symbol of success and an essential tool for survival in modern society. The fear of being without money or resources creates anxiety and stress, and many people feel helpless without it.

The impact of a lack of money on society takes a significant toll on our emotional and mental well-being, driving away feelings of happiness, love and fulfillment. The important point here is how to survive and succeed in modern society. We control money, not money controls us.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

Money has power than anything, money makes one feels secure, alive and superior. When money leaves we felt life is gone, we feel dead, we feel empty, we feel hopeless.

You just explain everything about why money is very powerful in this life, because literally money can buy anything in this world except life, which is why everybody works hard to own a piece of it, as money gives joy, peace of mind and happiness, simply because with money you are rest assure to afford anything you may want to.
However, money is the only thing in this world that is easy to spend and hard to earn, which is why whoever wishes to make significant influence in life ought to be someone good at managing money.

Because Yes, money rules the world, but if you want to create wealth, then you just have to be able to rule money (i.e save, invest and let money works for you)

[so98nn]

Money is ruling because money has got that exchange value defined by its demand and supply in the market. The history is older than you and me can think about it. Over the course of history it had various shapes and forms. First humans started trading things for things, then things for stones, things for gold, things for coins and so on. Until today we have unregulated currency like bitcoin which is also one of the money form as you would agree as well. It may not be ruling the world yet but it got the value due to its demand and Ever decreasing supply. 

Money has that authentic value to trade and in return get yourself equivalent “thing”.

Since it has become the way of exchanging value, it is ruling the world today. In simple words we know the definition of something valuable in terms of money.

[jrrsparkles]

At first I thought is power than anything, later on I said it's should be economic resources, then I realizes is money. I will give a brief poem here! The breeze blew and stake moistures and when it blew hales, it was just the breeze moving while the moistures is running away with fears.

The mist of human fears is control by what is next to their breath. Money has power than anything, money makes one feels secure, alive and superior. When money leaves we felt life is gone, we feel dead, we feel empty, we feel hopeless.

Currently my country government has turn humans to museum, moving without no direction, helpless and monuments because for over 3 months now the government has seized to release money in circulation, banks refused to fix money in ATM's, no canter payment.
Everyone is helpless, no money no good food, no transportation, no job, no love, no smiles, no good health.

Money drives away every feelings that makes life better. Money is truly powerful

Because money drives everything so one who with money will always be powerful, ofcourse on paper the leaders of powerful nations looks like the powerful but behind them the economy is giving them actual power which could be owned by someone else. There are conspiracy theories about money such as Illuminati and others but the reality is what you're saying one who with the money can feel their power and existence.

Just want to say some random famous quote " Money can't buy happiness but you can buy anything with the money that will make you happy".
