Money. Good or Bad.?

Money: The escape from poverty and the heart of greed. Like the nature of humans, it too has good and bad qualities. It is simply paper and ink but we put a quantitative value on it. It is our currency. On just the surface, you see it as a tool to buy something. We work for it, pay bills with it, and buy food and other luxuries with it. It is needed to survive in the modern world. Or is it? On the other side, lives have been ended to gain it and hands steal it without a blink of the eye.

Money: A capitalist scheme designed to create a classist system where labor is over/underpriced depending on the origin, education, gender, and sexuality of the laborer. This system is the sole reason for the giant gap between the super-rich and those living in poverty. Why should someone work 10 hours a day in an air conditioned office make more than someone working 10 hours outside in the element? They are both doing an equally important task toward the function and upkeep of society, but one is given a higher status just because they make more money. With this status they feel obligated to maintain a “more luxurious” way living than is required. Buying a house with more space than they need and driving cars that go faster than what the interstates allow. This idea of “higher” or “wealth” motivates. This motivation is not necessarily bad. It gives people the spirt to work hard and to do better. It also gives others the motivation to take the easy way out and acquire the moneys by force. This system separates people and the giant gap in the separation is creating the problems of this world.
