Ever thought about this?
Ever thought about this??
Why do people die for money - even I do.... but then still why do people run after money....
Forget that for the moment - what started this entire craze for money???
In the before (goddamn Orbit ads in India) - Man stayed in caves, grew what was needed to eat and survive, lived very rudimentary lives. Then came the era of specialisation (why is specialization so important - when everyone can be self sufficient - which is what everyone aims at right now anyway - confused individuals)
Specialisation meant that every man knew how to do one thing only - which meant that (assuming, I was alive in the cave era) I would be good at only growing vegetables or hunting and that I would gather enough meat or veggies for the entire clan (yea we were a sticky lot even then) and then if someone else was good at cooking or stitching, then I would "exchange" meat for clothes and stuff. Still no money.
We were content and there was no anger or tension then...
Then suddenly somebody discovered Gold and it was "awe"-some. It was perceived to be of so much value, and it became freely exchange-able with anything. Whether it is the meat I collected, or the veggies grown by my neighbour... thus started money... lazy bastards, all of them went out to go collect the gold, and then started the whole stream of I WANT MORE THAN THE GUY NEXT DOOR, I KILL YOU!!!!
Then people wanted to create a quantifiable method of measuring gold to convert into services (stitching, washing) or products (meat, veggies etc). Fast forward to 17th century
People want cars, lights, big houses, more land to grow veggies, and people to service their every need and I mean EVERY need...
The concept of Money and luxury are unknown to me. I feel that it is practically useless... and come to think of it... if some asshole did not discover gold, then we would have no pollution today... can you make the link??
Please comment....
