Attitude to Money
Money make people stupid, dishonest and even make them kill each other over it. That's why Money is the most destructive thing to humanity. Speaking of Money rises two questions: First, how people come to the possession of Money and second, what efforts do they use to get them? Because Money is necessity for the existence of the world, requiring plenty of conformity.
Money is the terms and conditions of the contract between you, time and space. And since you live in this space, you should deal with the consequences of Money. The most important thing to remember though is not to make a big deal out of it. If you fully understand this issue and take responsible decisions, you should not have any problems. But if the issue bothers you, it means that rather than taking the proper decisions, you defend your point of denial.
Along the process of development, we must solve problems which deflect us from the Path. But how many and who gains from all of this, is a very complex issue. Each process can be affected by numerous factors and this, in today's social world, is something that you cannot escape from. Of course you can, as a matter of speech, shout that you will not swim in this shallow water, being at the same time there, and then – you drown.
Money is a matter of experience between its relationships with the needed efforts for earning it. Most of the people are in need of Money but they do nothing about it. Some of them only search for easy ways to obtain Money. All this creates parasites. So the question is, who is a parasite and who is not?
Let's say a man spends a lot of time, efforts and Money for writing a book. Someone takes it and downloads it, totally ignoring the man's efforts, then speaks about spirituality. That is, unfortunately, the world we live in today. We can go to a restaurant and blow thirty dollars on food and drinks, but we are hesitant to spend the same amount for a book. So it is not about Money itself, it is about our attitude towards Money.
I have been investing in my education all my life and I think it is my best investment. I mean, one should clearly realize the reason for education.
