No Love For Money

Is It A Crime to Not Have Money?

People shouldn't be punished for poverty should they? I don't speak of moral poverty. Even I can see that doesn't trouble anyone much. We all love a scoundrel but we don't expect them to be boring white middle aged business men. Deep in our hearts we all know that there have never existed scoundrels like those of the present day despite their tiresome appearance. You know, the ones who control the money and torment the whole World's population. They don't want money like the rest of us, they want power. We don't want power. We just want enough money to do what we want. Well, what if you could do what you want and it didn't require much money? Would you consider yourself Blessed or just assume you're not ambitious enough? You must be defective in someway if you don't much care about money. That is made very clear. Yet possesions and money are very burdensome and time consuming. Everyone I know sings the same old song "If I could only get out of debt..." and then "I have got to get rid of all this junk...". So stop putting yourself in debt, don't buy things you don't need or really even want. It's not hard is it? It's very obvious and straight forward. Why do we feel that temporary euphoria when we excersice our "buying power"? Is it lifelong media conditioning? On an unconscious level do we understand owning something new as a sort of accomplishment? Think long and hard you shopaholics, I think we've been had!
