💵 MONEY 💵

What is money? Is it the sweet smelling piece of paper that you cheque in at the bank given to you for the hard work in your 9-5 job at the end of your month? 

Is it that green Bundle of Franklins and Gandhis; that the perpetually anxious local dealer hiding in that aisle stashes under his car seats when the red and blue lights flash by ?

Or is it that 'measly' 200 rupee note, that the sweaty and tired labourer just across that street earned after working in deplorable conditions; today might be the day that his family will be able to afford a stomach full of dinner, maybe even an extra chapati, if he's feeling extravagant.

For far too long, people have been chasing for this allusive object of one's fantasy. It has no end, it knows no bounds. Money motivates people to work more, and more . You're a Millionaire? Cool, why not be a billionaire. Oh wow, youre here already? Aim for Being a Trillionaire.

And there's this perspective where the Ultra rich have been shown to be villians in almost every case, scheming for the world to end, profitting off by exploiting, and nothing else. But Hey, if chasing money is someone's motivation in life, why yuck other people's yums?

He *is creating jobs and increasing the business within his country*, why pull them down because you dont have as much as they do?

But what ive noticed, the irony is that the less you chase money, and the more you chase solving a problem that people have, the more money you are able to generate. 

According to James Jani whom I agree with, "In this capitalist Society, you are only worth of your percieved Value". In other words, the more useful you are to this society, the more problems you are able to solve for the people around you, the more you are percieved In your Worth.

So maybe, put on your thinking caps, and think really, what is it that the people around you need, whether it may be a product, or a service, and how will you be able to solve that, to create a solution? And  then work towards it. I guarantee you, money will follow.

But thats my opinion ; Just a friendly advice from another guy trying to think about solutions to seemingly small inconveniences around me.

Money is only what one gives value to it. It is only as valuable as much value  you give to it.

Give a flower a higher value than money, and suddenly people go crazy. Not kidding, read up the "Tulip Mania" of February 1637. Youll be surprised.

 Money is subject to inflation, and deflation. Since there is no limit, no bar to its production. Unlike the certain limit of land in the country, or the limit of gold underground, money is unlimited.

The Government is in Debt? Why, Just print more money! Who cares about the inflation, thats the citizens job to care about why their money is now less dearer to them than last year.

Lastly, God forbid there comes a time where  water will be the new oil, where the farmers will rule the economy, where no amount of money will buy one piece of mind, when their stomachs rumble, and their throats dry up, wheres the water?;

 That time is now near.

 But who am I? Im just a 20 year old, hardly seen life in its worst, born with a silver spoon, never knowing how it would feel sleeping on an empty stomach.

 Well then, these were my opinions. Take it with a grain of salt, and question everything.

Lastly, Thank you for reading to the end.
