Q: Is it a golf country?

I hate that the living system us humans created after countless centuries of development came down to money worshipping. I, as any sensible living being would perhaps since birth, conformed to this system, learning and experiencing it firsthand day in day out.

One cannot eat without money. That goes the same direction for the clothes we wear and the shelter we sleep in; these two other basic necessities we cannot survive without. But greed takes us further, for we weigh the price of love, kindness, guilt, and other abstract qualities that build human relationships by its monetary value. As though we were all come preprogrammed with some sort of appraisal skills, many fell into the bracket of putting price tags on nontangible items. I wish I can talk further, but time holds a strict leash on me.

I hate to admit it, but I am guilty as charged, and if I was ever placed on trial, I’d blame “circumstance” as the main perpetrator. I would have done so in a heartbeat. Had society not mandated money as God,  had religion not forsaken science, and had human beings be just as satisfied today, as had they live in caves with just two pairs of apparels and daily rations of food, I wonder if we’d be more or less materialistic in the present.

Small cycle,
Vonnie S.
