The Metaphysics of Money

[Btcdeybodi]

This is just like the philosophy --- law of attraction. If you earn your money by genuine hard work, you will attract genuine people to yourself and if you also earn money through dubious means, you also gonna attract dubious people. I have seen a scammer being scammed by his group of scammers. Money that is made through shady means do not give peace of mind but the one who is diligent in his business lives a happy and peaceful life because nobody will question the source of your wealth since they know you are a genuine worker. There is dignity in labor and joy when your service is being needed by many persons or organizations and you are paid.

Hmmm there may be some truth in what the you say OP... From my observation so far I have got to dizcover that folks who earn money by doing honest and legal things tend to enjoy the rewards of that wealth without having to worry about any kind of negative consequences.. The money may be small though but still they tend to enjoy it with their family knowing fully well that it came out of their own hardwork.. But as for those that make money dishonestly, they often then to end up dealing with problems/consequences later on..

I know there still may be doubt from others/ rather differing opinions on this, but for those that still doubt the OP, my recommendations to you is to go and watch this movie- Wolf of Wall Street (2013)..

I have this theory that if metaphysics is real -- which I believe it is -- money is what binds reality to the metaphysical.


If you earn good money by helping people, you genuinely enjoy both the life and the wealth you've built. If you make bad or "easy" money, you're going to regret it one way or another.

People will say you not correct in this, they will believe that they should make all kind of money and if the bad money come they will enjoy it, if you are rich and you tell them this they will think as a rich man you don’t want them to get rich.
The truth is that you will enjoy your money on how you made it, rich people who made bad money may get what money can buy but may not enjoy it or their lives like a man who made less money but good money and enough money.

One thing is that while there are those who may feel the regrets over their actions while making their money in the bad ways there are so many out there who doesn't give a fuck about regrets, they have no conscience, the time and the good life they are having is enough for them regardless of how it was made and how they are enjoying it, to add to what you say about rich people who made bad money, they may likely not have the same level of freedom in their quiet time compared to a man who made less money but good money.

Charity is good. I believe that when you distribute a portion of money earned through honest means to improve lives and make people happy, you receive many times that amount back.

If you earn good money by helping people, you genuinely enjoy both the life and the wealth you've built. If you make bad or "easy" money, you're going to regret it one way or another.

If you want to earn more money, then you need to help others with money and the money will come back to you. Many people think that accumulating money will give them more wealth, which is not the reality.

In fact, the more you spend money, the more you give money in charity, the more money will come back to you and you may not even think of the sources from where the money is coming to you. This is the hidden philosophy of people, and you won't see this opinion widely held, but it is the real metaphysics of money.

What do you guys mean by ''bad money'', it's not a right term to use, you can just say those who made their money through illegal means (you can as well tag them as criminals), it sounds more better that way. However, there is no peace for the wicked and just like you said, they may appear happy in the eyes of the public but in their private moments, they ain't really happy. I blame the government because they are not enforcing the laws of criminality and no strict punishments on offenders.

Bribery and corruption has aided to the high quest to make money through illegal means. Most of those authorities that are in-charge of criminal offences do take bribes from them thereby encouraging those illicit acts and by so doing that is how they are seeing it as something that is normal and when other people discovers, they also follow same process of bribery in order to make their way.

If we should assume that one’s life is like a house and money is the materials used for the building, if your money is earned right then you’re building with solid stones and bricks. But if you’re means of earning is questionable then you’re building with just sands. Though it may look strong and luxurious outside but inside you’ll live fearing the rain and even the wind bacause you know the foundation isn’t strong.

Money doesn’t really change a person, but will make them more of who they already are. When you serve others wholehearted, wealth allows you to serve somewhere higher, but if one takes advantage of people just to ascertain wealth, you may get to a point where your guilt counter‘s your ego, and your questionable habits will be louder than ever and sometimes becomes immutable.

In every quick money is a hidden tax that no one talks about. When your money is earned through service and honesty, peace of mind comes as a free souvenir but when you take a questionable shortcut, you might end up paying restlessness and anxiety as a prize. no smooth bedsheet nor pillowcase can appease the mind that won’t shut up about your questionable actions or decisions.
One reason why relentless workers never regrets their path it’s because they’ve nurtured the capability of handling Success. when work leaves the equation, the prize may come, but without growth , just like winning a marathon by taking an alternative route, you may win the prize, but you don’t have the pride of a runner.
