RE: Money : a blessing or a curse
Money is just a medium of exchange. We can trade our labor for money, and then trade that money for the goods and services we need to survive and enrich our lives. Without money, our lives would be much more complicated. Without money we would have to barter our labor for goods we might not want or need in the hopes that we can then trade them for the actual goods we need. Messy.
If money is evil, then like the government, it is a necessary evil. Sure, we can probably function without it, but who would want to? The good news is that we now live in the digital age where governments no longer have a monopoly on money. We get to choose for ourselves the medium of exchange, and if you’re reading this then you’ve likely chosen STEEM, SBD, and SP . . .
Nice! Thank you for some sweet perspective. For me, money just is. I don't view it as something I own. Haha When it hits my account I am sure it is holding up a sign "Just passing through"
Yeah, I was that way too. Money was just money. Then I moved into Ron Paul’s congressional district, became a libertarian, and learned about the Austrian School of Economics. These days I’m converting as much of my US fiat currency into gold, silver, ammo, crypto, etc. Sadly, like you however, much of it is just passing through.
