Topic: Money and wealth as the major religions in world. - page 14. (Read 2230 times)

We have to be honest that most people can't live without money, especially if they live in a big city, which requires a high cost of living. The demand
for making money is a must, so it's no wonder that many people every day only focus on making money and forget to enjoy life. It's not surprising
that in the end money becomes the most important thing in human life, actually making money must be done, so that we can buy our daily needs.
But do not overdo it in looking for money, because too obsessed with money, only makes us greedy and that's not good. Greedy can make people
do anything to get money, even if they have to do it illegally. So religion is needed to control this, all religions teach goodness, that's what ultimately
leads people to make money by legal means.

I would say that there are some people for whom money is an object of worship and to a certain extent a religion If you live within the framework of modern society and civilization, then you will not be able to do without money, because all human needs of the physiological, physical and moral plan are impossible without monetary relations. I would also like to say that the issues of health and money are closely intertwined and in modern conditions, without the lack of health, it is problematic to earn the necessary amount of money, and without the necessary amount of money, it is problematic to have the necessary health. The most important thing in such matters is not to go to extremes and phobias and treat with due prudence, not forgetting that it is impossible to earn all the money in the world, and it is impossible to ensure perfect health

we can't equate the old system with the current one, for those in the past (ancestors) maybe it was true that they didn't need money for everything (because at that time there was still no money ) and indeed at that time the system was still using barter as well as commodities,
but this has actually been abandoned since our ancestors discovered primitive money around 1200 BC even though at that time primitive money was still in the form of shells or mollusks.
and I disagree a little when I say that, when the ancestors made a complex tool to exchange something and left the former system (barter and commodities) it was to make life easier because in barter and commodities there were so many shortcomings.
and you still want to use it and make it look like we don't need the money? I think you are too naive.

Money rules the world and every aspect of life, which is why everyone is looking for it. We rely on it and live for it, but some people work for it and get paid for it but don't use it. For example, some wealthy people accumulate money but end up spending it on the charity, this is their philosophy and it works for them, not because they desperately want it.

Religion and money are unrelated, a person can make money in any way he wants, whether illegally or legally, as you have stated, however, I don't believe you can please your religion illegally, that would be deceiving yourself, however, in the case of money, it doesn't work that way, regardless of how you made the money, it can be spent in any way.

This might sound too rude to a lot of people but this is really the truth, our lives have been created this way that we are never satisfied and always try to fetch every luxury of the world, whenever we reach a certain level we further try to get one step ahead, I think nature has created us this way and we are bound by that, even Economics is based on the concept of limited resources but unlimited wants, also there isn't any shame in accepting this a human should do whatever keeps them happy even if it's money.

We can actually live without money. In fact, our ancestors managed to live their life to the fullest without worrying about money but of course, it depends on the society that we live in. In our current society, We definitely need money to afford our needs and wants in our everyday life but it doesn't mean humans worship money. It's just that some people think if you have a lot of money, you're standing above the food chain but not all people think the same way.

It can be said that everyone always thinks of money, they think that with money all problems can be solved and the current measure of happiness is money, everything is done to get money and does not care about religious norms, indeed nowadays everything needs money but we are realistic that there are many things that can make us happy besides money, for example, health and family.

But we don't only go to school just for money but also to develop the core values that we started at home. So its not only about money matters but also for spiritual values too. But i agree on you, money is still our motivation why we need to work hard  because almost all of our basic needs requires  money for survival. And yet, when you have the money already, people tend to ask for more. This is the reason why some people chose to acquire money in illegal ways. Not really good but this is the reality now. People chose to make money even if it means taking advantage with the others' rights.

It is good that you are not generalizing everyone to be a lover of money because some people like to be known with the religion they belief in , they belief that it will give eternal life and glory to God and so money would or not can not matter to them. Money is good to everyone one of us because it help life to be good but we need have some thinking about how we chase after money because our soul is also important too.

There are various difficulties on the road to making money, not only for external reasons but also for internal reasons. There are always plans that cannot keep up with changes. It is not just competition among peers, all people in society, your peers. They are all competitors who want to beat you.
And everyone has a different starting point, and some people are born with many things that we can't reach.

I can see your post to be contradictory, but what you are talking about which I later find out it that people aim is wealth, profit and fortunate. If that's what you are taking about, you are right. Going to school is to educate in a way to be better and make money in life. The world is purely about money. Some people now do not care if the way they get the money is legit or not, all what they care about is to get money even without thinking about others. That is why we need to be very careful because scammers are increasing everyday.

Nowadays, people are not for profit or fame and fortune. This is what we pursue in our life. Learning knowledge in school is to graduate and have a better job. The purpose is the same, in order to earn more. Wealth to support myself and my family, in order to live a life that I yearn for and a happy life.

We all have different paths and even some common steps. Money is like a complement in human life, but basically to make money takes hard work and sometimes we have to face certain risks. Regarding wealth, everyone certainly wants wealth, but here it takes extraordinary efforts, and indeed it would be better if it was based on religious beliefs. This does not mean equating money or wealth with religion, but it will be more beautiful if it is legal and based on the way of each religion.

If only those things did come before money for a lot of people, but if the internet is anything to go by, it doesn't seem like that's the case.  I can't even watch a random Youtube video without hearing about how much money people are making by being "influencers" and it drives me crazy.  I probably need to get some fresh air, if you know what I mean.

I don't know what OP's point is either, but keep in mind that this is a forum about bitcoin.  It's a given that many members here are concerned about money, whether it's having enough, making more, or just interest in discussions about economics.  Hell, I'd even go so far as to say that most members of bitcointalk are trying to earn money right on this site.  Welcome to the forum, OP.

It is the reality about life.

We are living to make money and we need money to keep living. That's why there are people who are working smartly and they're trying to beat the process through their smart thinking legally and solving world problems.

That's the best way to accumulate wealth.

Nowadays, people are working hard to pay enough basic requirements and that's why everyone has to earn money and participate in society.
I can't even count anything entertaining here, just the basics about it. But money and religion are two different realms. You are talking about money, then you are talking about reality. For myself, I believe it's all about making enough money, this is where you can't sustain yourself but can help others. There is no happiness without kindness and in order to perform kindness we must have money.

Are there people that only think about obtaining material wealth? Of course but they are not the majority, and if people have to spend that much time working is because that is what it is necessary to survive, and the ones that can avoid working for money, guess what? They have money so they can avoid to work if they want, money is many times blamed by the problems of the world, but money is just a tool, and it is up to each person to decide how to use it correctly.

Indeed, everyone definitely needs money because many things can be obtained from it, but many have also found happiness other than money. for someone who is religious, spiritual things that can make life happier or grateful for what they have, and in fact happiness comes from the heart.

In today's materialistic world, many humans live like robots. Every day is imprisoned with routine work that seems endless to achieve one goal: money. This thing is so hailed, praised and fought for until the last drop of blood. How to find it is not important anymore, the important thing is to be able to. Hitting and elbowing each other, even with their own friends and family, is considered a common thing to get this object. They forget that life is not forever. They forget, that life is not just to collect the coffers of wealth. They forget that life is not only about material things.

All that happens because the brain and mind have been closed by worldly lust and lust. Yes, that's humans who are never satisfied with what they have. When you don't have a car, you want to have a motorbike. When you have a motorbike, you want to take a car. When you have 1 car, you want to have 2 cars. Endless.

How long do we have to be slaves to the world? Life is too beautiful and precious to spend just chasing the world and everything in it. Real wealth is in the form of blessings of life, body health, togetherness with beloved family, and happiness when you can share with others.

You only live once, so use it well to benefit others. Isn't the best human being the one who can benefit others and those around him? Life is really about giving, giving and giving. We must be able to leave a legacy for the next generation. If an elephant dies leaving tusks, a tiger dies leaving stripes, then humans die leaving behind their deeds and works. So, when we leave this world, we smile happily and others cry because of loss.

Throughout history, no one has ever been honored for what he has received. Honor is an award for those who have given something meaningful to those around them.

The cultural shift towards worshipping money and power could be palpable and easy to define.

In the 1970s to 1980s, many gang leaders in the united states encouraged gang members to settle disputes with break dance battles rather than violence. That could represent an idealistic and civilized perspective of an era where human life, honor and values are recognized.

At some more recent point in history, the majority involved in gangs and organized crime sold out and became all about money and power. They don't encourage people to be honorable or settle fights with break dance battles anymore. All they care about is money. Human life is worth nothing to them.

That precedent also applies to the business world, religion and many aspects of life. There are many examples and historical trends which define the shift.

Around the time of the great depression, sears sold prefabricated houses. Due to the great depression many who bought prefab homes from sears could not afford payments. Sears declined foreclosing on their homes as they deemed it immoral. Could anyone imagine banks behaving like that today.

Long story short, money and wealth rising to prominence as dominant ideology is definitely a thing. But perhaps there is room for some type of backlash and counter culture movement towards the polar opposite. Its up to people to decide what type of world they want to live in.
