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
