is money really very very important , is it above all things , is it right that we can buy happiness with money ???
Money cannot buy happiness, but lack of money buys a lot of struggle.
Someone who thinks it isn’t important probably hasn’t tried living without it. Can’t swipe a card to purchase a happiness yet but a lot of things that bring sadness become non-issues if you can throw money at them.
100 %
Most people don’t want money, but the things that money buy. Security, luxury, power, health, etc. There is no inherent reason why we need money for that but we as a society have decided that we rather have something in return for our work and that this is worth something.
In theory, it makes sense; it’s a physical thing we can exchange to represent gratitude.
In practice, it has been completely weaponized against us and I hope we can stop using it.
We live in the information age, we can track needs and contributions in a way that is more difficult to exploit.
One saying is that money can’t buy happiness but it can definitely help relieve stress.
