Topic: Don't assume your life by material things so much (Read 148 times)

sometimes other people just stand to what they are learning from Bible or from their old science books but not with their life understanding , not unless you are living in total isolated place like Mountain people then that can lead you to not needing any single amount to live , but if you are in a world of reality then money is life and you cannot live without  Money.

Just wondering in what community are you living mate?

Because  what I do believe is that in our life now we cannot even drink glass of  water
without money , unless you are in province that water is still free and the veggies and animals
are farmed free.

But before you can start a farm , you need a capital and aside from that there is electricity
and yeah you are using internet so how can you use DATA without money? so sorry to tell you
but your stand is completely wrong because you may have something without money but you
cannot live a day without the use  of money.

Assuming our life by material things today have becoming a very big issue and challenge in our society especially in our young girls. So many of us are so carried away by material things to the extent it get to affect our life. Today, our young boys have so muchly assumed their life by material things to the extent that they go extra mind to lay their hands in things that are so fetish. Some go a long way to commit murder and ritual all in the name of trying to acquire the material things that they want.
On the other hand, our young ladies today hardly get married because they want a man that can provide them with everything they need. Some never care if the marriage they are going into is safe or not, all they are after is just the material things that they seeing in the side of the man at such resulting to divorce, or looking outside for other men when the man is no longer meeting to their needs or demands at last.
So we really need to be careful the way and manner we assume our life by material things.

Agreed a hundred percentage happiness is not only from material things some simple things in life can keep one happy all the time.

Fiat money is a  concept introduced only in recent years however the concept of bargain has well been used back then. People pre-historic times would exchange food for food or whatnot. It was only when metals and stones were used to create coins that they started buying with money instead. But ever since the dawn of time nothing was free anymore. Everything comes at a price whatever may that be.

Just be realistic for God's sake buddy, we are not in stone age this is 21st century and can you imagine life if you have no belongings, no cash, no gold or anything that you can use to exchange the products you need?

Even if I wanted some water to drink it is gonna cost me money.

I totally disagree with you saying that life will not exist without money it's a wrong impression I may stand to be corrected but I can tell you that life existed before the introduction of money and can still exist even without the money just that the nature of life to exist without money will be too difficult because of population and how our environmental degradation of natural resources eating deep some human may find it so hard to survive but life will still exist.

Money was introduced to make existing life easy not where life did not even exist.

For most people more money brings more happiness there are some subtle differences between them. If someone is extremely unhappy an increase in income may increase happiness somewhat but it may suddenly stop. People have some problems that cannot be solved with money. But for those who are in a middle position between happiness and misery their happiness increases somewhat with increasing income.

A free thought

I was quite impressed with something I once saw somewhere "life has two big challenges, 1 is that we try to find a certain goal, 2 is to complete that goal."

But basically each person's perception is different, but the journey to completion is the same. With every perspective on life, there will be people who consider it more important than life, but there are people who realize that it is just the things around us to help us complete life's lessons.

So anyone can do whatever they want because arguing about what is right seems unnecessary, and everyone is right with their experience, it's just that the consensus of opinions may not have appeared yet.

Your house is not the same as your home. A house is a physical property where you live in and where you go home after a whole day however a home is where you feel the most comfortable in, a home is where you feel the most safe and loved in.
There’s also some beauty in being able to travel as much as you can for example going to different places and being able to absorb all the culture and other aspects that makes that place interesting, it builds your character.

You consist of every piece of place you’ve ever been to.

you got that mate , because world now is run by money and nothing that we can change
from that and sad but reality so i support everything that you said here.

life will not exist without money now , because money is life and that is the world
that we are living now.

My opinion about money is that you do need it in this world to survive or to have money to have a comfortable and decent life for you and your loved ones. But I think chasing happiness with money is where we can draw the line because  I don't think they are connected. You can be happy and content without hoarding too much money.

They should sink in to the reality that everyone needs money. I agree with that because if you don't have money as you grow older, you'd like a piece of trash because you can't do anything without it.

I understand you if this is where you're focusing right now. If you're happy but you've got some ways to provide things for yourself or for your family, that's good.

No one is going to bother you whatever you do and what makes you happy.

Let's talk about reality instead of some BS, money is always the king so whoever says money isn't that important are either wealthy who is hoarding too much money they can't spent in their entire life or people who are incompetent in making money and trying to cover their ass with such BS quotes.

Life is not only about money but we never money to do anything in our life.

You could think that you been living in one place long and its your home but suddenly something happens and you have to move away.
That's why don't think that only one location will be limited for you don't be stuborn the land your house or car it's just material things don't assume all your identy or your life based of those.
Your home your location the land it's just another material thing on the earth don't forget that you can't make this as your Center point of making the decisions.
Your home is your mind and spirit and it's your wealth and everything else you take this with you to everywhere.
I have been traveling quite a lot and i don't fight with that anymore i use to think that when i get use to with one location or place i must stay there no matter what but i have learned to just go with flow and sometimes we have to just things happening.
So i discovered my real home wealth and everything are my own mind and my spirit what i have or where i am can't make me to have opinion about my self-idendity.
It doesn't mean that i don't like material things off course i like them but i understood they might come and go but my mind and spirit stay with me where ever i go in my life.
If i try to give myself identety based my nationality and roots and my home of my parents i keep myself limited so i have to let go all the things of my mind what based on the things what is based on the way how the person should look themselfes in order to be someone in the society.
So i have discovered that If i focus on my mind and spirit the material things always come to me even If Im not focused on them too much.
We live only in very short time here and no point to limit ourselfes with just limited thinking about world.
