Society and Money
How can we live in society and outside money?
This question includes three very important concepts: ‘live’, ‘society’ and ‘money’. Let’s start with society.
Society is the environment we are situated in for one reason or another. Irrespective of its nature, society is either driven toward perfection or toward degradation. Both of these are natural processes. From this point on what matters most is Man and his role in this process.
Today the perfect society is an utopia because people are driven mostly by consumerism and enrichment and not so much by the idea of finding realization in a process that perfects not only themselves but also their environment. This is why every Man must learn how to take and bear the responsibility for himself.
Only after we’ve managed to achieve this, we can actually begin to interact with society. In the other case we’ll be only reacting to society. However our interaction with society should be shaped by the established laws and conditions. If we intend to start yelling at people calling them villains and blood-suckers, we’ll not only subject ourselves to our reactions to these blood-suckers but we’ll also reinforce their blood-sucking nature.
The problem is that blood-suckers are adaptive, however non-blood-suckers can build their own environment. Here lies the great difference between the two. This is why we need to accept all types of conditions if they help us build our own experience. And the higher the quality of this process, the further we can push the limits of the Right.
This is how we reach your second concealed question: How should we live? Our life must be defined be our striving to build our life or else we are bound to be part of someone else’s life. We must learn how to unite, intertwine and nurture. And we must work on this every day. Every single day!
If you follow the principle where you yourself have determined your relationship with society and have built your own life, you will always have what you need for your process. When you want money but you cannot properly interact with society and do not understand your own tasks, even millions would not help satisfy your needs because in fact the concept of life and living is not related to the money you possess but rather to your ability to live. However, reacting to life and subjecting it to something external, and not yourself, cannot help you find the answer to the question: Who am I in this life? On the contrary – it will actually turn you into one of the blood-suckers.
