I have been both on top and scraping the bottom in this lifetime. Money matters to me at the moment because I don't have that much of it and will have to reinvent myself to find more.
Otherwise, I can't stand money. It corrupts all of those that have control of it and the reason that we can't have nice things. Money perverts so many that it touches.
Yes one could say that money is the evil of all things, but I would rather say, the evil is that someone or somehow we were persuaded to believe in such nonsentical "created out of the blue concept" and to get out of it will only happen by our noncompliance
Well, I have come to see that it is not money that is the root of all evil, but the LOVE of money... which leads to greed, which leads to bad behavior. Money itself is merely a tool for exchange.
Money itself is not evil, but man is inherently weak and is easily corrupted.
I agree, it is only a temporary store of wealth and a tool for exchange. Everything has a value, without a stable mechanism of exchange, it would be difficult to find price discovery.
