Why is money ruling the world?

[Altryist]

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.

I think that we can find opportunities to achieve what we want when we begin to believe that it is possible. If you believe that you cannot achieve something, then it will become truth for you. I understand that everyone's situations are different and sometimes it seems that changing something is very difficult, but I also believe that in any situation we can find opportunities if we want something very badly. Not everything will work out right away, but we need to take one step at a time, we overestimate our capabilities in the short term and underestimate what we are capable of in the long run.

Believe on something and you'd achieve it eventually. But to think on a more practical way, money is really necessary. Let's day you want to start a business, then a capital must come first. You are hired in a good company, you need money to sustain you with your first month and not to mention your application period and other necessities.Taking one step at a time is indeed right but in every step, unfortunately, money plays a key role nowadays; just think of how expensive living is, today. No matter how we want to set aside monetary factors, it is just the present situation which would tangle money with our lives. This is how powerful these pieces of paper are. If you have the privilege to not stress out about it then that is better but we cannot bend the fact that not all people have that kind of state.

Practically speaking, you cannot suvived nowadays without money. Almost everything requires money, and it is not a lie if you'll say that everything revolves around money. Job applications requires money. You want money but you need money to be able to do so. This is the hard reality that we need to swallow. Opportunities are there but without money you cannot move towards that opportunity. This is why most entrepreneurs would choose more money so they can have more influence than the others. Some may not even think that the money they spend to apply a job is just self capital and it is not counted in terms of finance, but is this how you really calculate your finance?

That's right, and that is the actual reason why money is ruling the world. Someone who has money is always superior to the ones who don't have it, it's a simple and clear-cut fact that we witness in our everyday lives. Money has the power to do almost anything in the practical world which has something to do with the world and not stuff that isn't in control of humans.

No matter how much one convinces themselves that money is not everything and one can easily live without it, sure, you can live your life even if you don't have too much but you will always envy the lives of those who are rich if you see them, and that is only because of money.

[Litzki1990]

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.

Money is a very precious commodity in the world. When you have money, the world will seem more beautiful to you. And the people of the world will appreciate you a lot. But when you have empty pockets you will know the whole world. You won't find anyone next to you with an empty pocket.  When you had money, the people who were your partner at some point will leave you just for money.

One thing I realized through myself is that when I don't have money in my pocket, I find it unbearable how I know everything. No one wants to hear anything good. There is always a depression working in me but when I have money in my pocket I feel a different courage in the way of life. Many people say that happiness cannot be achieved through money, but I would say that everything can be achieved with money. If your mind is not good, you will need money to travel somewhere, that is, we need money to make our mind good.

[KupaCrypto]

Money can't be measured to anything in the world apart from  life and good health, like they say money is the root of all evil that because people can go any mile just to get money, we saw Judas Iscariot betray our lord and saviour because of money, so money is as powerful as it is because money answers all things there is nothing apart from life that money cannot buy, growing up you will have big dreams but without money those dreams won't be achieved, Those who have this money rules the world, because when dey get to speak the whole world listens to them, but even the family members of a poor man won't be taken seriously, if the goal is not to make money then we won't even stress ourselves by going to school, trying to improve ourselves to get better because everything we do is to earn a living and earning a living is making money.

Re: Why is money ruling the world?

Because it can buy everything, and when I mean everything, I mean everything that you can buy, money can buy it.

Luxuries, guns, bombs, land, everything that you think, money can buy it that's why it is ruling the world right now. Some might say that money can't buy happiness. Yes it's a famous quote back in the days maybe, but now we know that even money can buy happiness. Not directly happiness, but you can buy things that you love, and that action will make you happy.

If you want to survive in this cruel world,  you need money. If you need to buy something you neither need or want, you need money. Without money, you will not survive, and maybe that's the reason why people are working. Money is a necessity and without it, we will not live long.

[DrBeer]

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

Money, like any other tool invented for improvement, people use very often for other purposes. Instead of a convenient exchange mechanism (a replacement for subsistence farming and barter exchange), we got a tool that allows you to evaluate a "part" of a product, and get it without difficulty, or. But ... over time, money has become a measure of wealth, strength, power. Not the best aspects of human life.
I once wrote, an ancient proverb perfectly describes the situation: "money is a wonderful servant, but the most disgusting master." Unfortunately, today money for most people and countries is a very cruel OWNER.

Very practical and we need to face it. In today's society, without money, we won't get anything, including happiness. What you say is what is happening in my country, if you have the knowledge, but you don't have money, you cannot get a decent job. And this is also a reason why many people begin to despise and blame education.
This is a sad reality, but we need to accept the truth and adapt to it if we want to continue to exist. Money is something that should come first and is the first thing you need if you want to start anything from work, love, marriage...

I really hate the statement you gave and it seems as if money is everything and is the goal of everyone's life, but it's a fact that we live that we can't get away from money and can't live life without money, so money is an important element in living life. .
With money everyone can do whatever he wants even against the rules and the power of money is so great that it can become a ball of power controlling the world, but for humans who are civilized and/or have ethics, not everything has to be associated with money or money is the benchmark for everything. what you do because of a mindset like that will make you a material human being and certainly will not feel the peace of life.

Let's all get it straight based on the fact that money is a factor or source of happiness. Providing the best facilities for our loved ones through financial conditions is that not happiness? you give your parents a new home from the financial results you have isn't money the source of happiness?

Many people say that money is not the source of happiness, true but that's all after you achieve the happiness that money produces. Keep in mind that money solves half of life's problems. So don't be trapped by lazy words that always take refuge in the phrase "money isn't everything". Finance is power to solve problems in economic life.

[RockBell]

Money has been one of the most influential things in the world since the beginning, but it has also caused a lot of issues. Although it is crucial, money also has drawbacks. Once you become wealthy, you can use it to gain power and influence in society, and the taste for money has led to an increase in crime. This is because people will do anything for money, even bad things, even though money is good because it allows you to buy anything you want. in my region, money is used to win elections since they are plenty of hungry people around. There are no two ways around it money is important.

[ancafe]

That's why money is the most important source in the process of life's journey and money has an important role in how far you will have the power to dominate others.

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.

In this case it is not money that is the main factor causing chaos in your country, but government policies that are unable to minimize the level of risk posed, resulting in a scarcity of money and affecting all lines of life of the people there. The fiat currency system in almost all countries is experiencing problems and it is becoming increasingly difficult for money to maintain its current value, moreover recession and inflation continue to pressure economic conditions for the worse.

Indeed money is powerful. Money intoxicates. Money is the only language humans hear and understand. With money, one lives life to the fullest. Money stops nonsense. Money attracts Money. It changes ones level, it makes one thinks positively. With Money one can get the good things of life to live to the fullest.
According to the Bible, money answereth all things but the love of  money is the root to all evil only when you allow it to get over your head.
One thing I would always say and this I tell my friends to not allow money make you forget your humble beginning. Never dispise your early days of life because of money as those days were amongst the life experience that made you today.

[Patrol69]

The whole world is now running after money. We know who is the richest person in the world but we don't know who is the poorest person in the world. Money makes itself known in society. Whether you deserve respect or not, having money means you are a respectable person. The influence of money has now moved into the government systems of various countries. In exchange of money various unqualified people are being placed in suitable places. That's why everyone thinks they are successful only if they have money.

Currently, there is so much crime in the world, murder, kidnapping, smuggling, why are people doing these criminal acts to earn money. Everyone from children to old people will prioritize money first. You will understand the meaning of money only when your pocket is empty. It is a fact that the world can be known in an empty pocket. But if there was a certain level of this desire, then everyone would be happy, but no matter how much money we have, it is natural that we will run after money.

That is depending on you willing to be a monk, no kid, no wife, no house, no govt id, no job, no car, own nothing but owe everything, then you would not need money, and you would discover a new world that is not ruled by money, in fact when you are being a sole breadwinner to the family, making money is your only life goal left, you would earn all the money as a breadwinner but you would eventually surrender all your income to the family.

I am not sure what you want to say... as a "breadwinner", my wife is not working, and two kids. Do you really think that "making money" is the only life goal left?

Money rules the world because money buys things. And we all want many things...  I guess it's the question of what we are ready to do to "make money".  The world is full of crazy examples, and people who have taken it too far.

But it's not all about the money... I guess someone needs to feel real-life passions (call it as you like) to be able to understand all of that. It's a tricky part, but we all need to find some luck in this life, with the money we have. And it's ok to want more, but as I see it people who rush for money sacrifice some other (even more) important things in life. It's all about some balance, and I know how hard can be to find one.

Are there still monks existing who do not care for money or family?
The last monk  I saw here in the forum was a digital monk asking for donations  Even the monk needs money.
Money is rulling the world. If not money know that it is power that is rulling the world. Both money and power belongs to the government and they are highly centralized and manipulated and that is why money is ruling the world.

[Broly46]

... as a "breadwinner", my wife is not working, and two kids. Do you really think that "making money" is the only life goal left?

I'm reading my social media, many do not believe recession is approaching, many listen to the news on inflation is transistory, and yup, It is all written on the social media, they are the living proof to what we failed to realize in the year past, remember social media do not existed before 2010, this is the first time we can read the life of any peasant at the comfort of our sweet home with just a click of button!!! you know what I feel after reading their avatar? All about money and families, they would blame about life, unfair wage, kids, wife, that pretty much sum up everything they can say on their life, when I try to talk about passion in life, they have nothing to say, but they begin to ignore me after a while, make me feel bad bringing hhe topic up.

...money sacrifice some other (even more) important things in life. It's all about some balance, and I know how hard can be to find one.

That is fine when you begin to believe money could buy things, particularly necessicity in life, too bad, you are going to regret saying about it, when you look at the market today, what can you buy with money again? With every store now running low on supply of everything, you can have money and price but there is no goods to buy from. Then your money can buy thing is invalid. Read about history how cultural revolution has always make your paper money worthless over night, the central banker can conveniently declare your bank note are not legal tender and there is nothing you can do about it but suffer all loss. Finding balance? That is impossible in life especially when your life is string attached.

[Broly46]

Are there still monks existing...

Well, monk do not existed naturally, it is invented by a bunch of stubborn cults, I do not know monk would go extinct, but they would eventually make a come back since we create monk in the first place, if monk culture is destroyed we can rebuild the monk again, btw monk have always be very hostile toward any government initiative, and never bend over to any government demand.

The last monk  I saw here in the forum was a digital monk asking for donations  Even the monk needs money.

That is a very disturbing but it is truth. Everybody has to eventually accept digital economy in the last twenty years, monks too have to step up themselves to the digital economy reformation, we would see if the monk would survive for the next decades, it is either the government or the monk, the battle never end.
