The Hypocrisy and Hope of a Money-Driven World

Money is not only a source of happiness but also a cornerstone of civilized humanity. Suppose there is no money in this world. What would happen to these beautifully crafted, capitalized economies? In the absence of money, will they become more powerful?

Society needs money to be civilized. Money keeps discrimination in check and, at the same time, discriminates based on income. This hypocrisy is like large mountains that protect India from invaders but invite snowy winds that kill thousands of people (the poor ones). When there is equality in society, harmony is expected, but when there is harmony in society, a disaster, a massacre, or an element that will destroy the entire society is awaited by every citizen.

Money can stop a war or ignite a massacre. The green cloth blindfolding the brains of the citizens is no less than a mental sickness. People are chasing happiness by running in the marathon to earn more money, but until society works like this, what we are waiting for is a saturation point at which every citizen will think once about themselves, not about the money. This saturation will happen when someone among them wins this marathon; until then, no one knows the reward of such success. Society will be tired of being a slave to money; society is tired of being a rat in the cage called money. The cage can be broken by identifying the responsibility and fulfilling that responsibility of being a good slave. The poison erases the effect of the poison, and slavery will erase the slavery.

The time will come when people finally become aware that money isn’t their master, peace isn’t their master, and they are capable enough to run this country democratically, independent of money. The vicious cycle of money starts with financial problems, such as high debt or unemployment, leading to further economic difficulties, perpetuating the cycle. Breaking this cycle requires addressing the root causes of financial instability through comprehensive strategies.

Money is like a snail; it slowly builds its journey to reach its destination. We might often regard this progress as success, but the ultimate pleasure is not in this success but in oneself moving ahead in the race for money. This slow, steady progress mirrors the journey of a snail, demonstrating patience and resilience. Yet, true fulfilment comes not from the accumulation of wealth but from achieving a balance where money serves humanity rather than enslaving it.
