When you accept money as a reward for your efforts, you do it entirely on the basis that you believe you will exchange it for the fruits of others' labor. It is not beggars and plunderers who give money value. No matter how many tears there are in the sea and how many guns there are in the world, the paper in your wallet will not become the bread you will live on tomorrow. Those papers that are supposed to be gold are a symbol of your respect for the producer's work, and your wallet shows that you want people around you who don't violate this moral principle. It is the root of money, and this is what you think is evil?
Do you know where the roots of material products are? Look at the generator. Dare you say that these mindless animals can be created by their stupid power? Without the knowledge left by the earliest discoverer, you can plant a wheat and try it without relying on anything. You will find that the human brain is the root of all products and all wealth on the earth.
But you said that money is earned by the strong at the expense of the weak. What power do you mean? That's not the power of guns and muscles. Wealth is created because people can think. So did the inventor of the engine make money at the expense of the people who didn't invent it? Was it made by wise men at the expense of fools? Are capable people sacrificing incompetent people? Is it ambitious to sacrifice laziness? Before money was plundered and begged, he was created by every honest man who tried his best. An honest man knows how much he has done before he can use it.
It is the creed of honest people to trade by means of money. The principle that money depends on is that everyone has his own mind and efforts. Money does not allow any force to impose a price on your efforts, but only allows people to voluntarily choose to exchange their labor with you. Money allows you to give your fruits and labor to those who buy it and get what you deserve, not more. Currency does not allow any other transactions, except that both parties decide their own interests. Money requires you to admit that people must work for their own interests, not to hurt themselves, but to gain, not to lose-people are not heavy animals, born to bear your heavy misfortunes-you must give them value, not trauma-the common cohesion between people is not the exchange of suffering, but the exchange of goods. Money requires you not to expose your shortcomings because of people's ignorance, but to show your talents in their reason; It asks you not to buy the worst things they give you, but to buy the best things you can with your money. When people take free trade as the principle and rationality rather than violence as the final judgment, the winner is the best product, the best performance, the smartest and most capable person. The size of a person's creativity determines the size of his return. This is a survival code with money as the scale and symbol. Is this what you think is evil?
However, money is just a tool, it can let you go where you want to go, but it will not replace your driver's position; It will give you the means to satisfy your desires, but it will not provide you with them. Some people try to reverse the cause and effect, try to master the products created by the mind and replace the mind with them. Money is a disaster for them.
Those who don't know what they want can't buy happiness with money: if he doesn't know what to cherish, money won't bring him an interpretation of value; If he doesn't know what to pursue, money won't give him a goal. Fools can't buy wisdom with money; Cowards cannot buy admiration with money; Incompetent people can't buy respect with money; People who try to use money to help him make judgments and buy excellent brains for their own use can only become victims of his own incompetence in the end. The wise man abandoned it, but came to associate with deception and deceit. This is because he didn't find a rule: how much is it worth, which is why you call it evil?
Only those who don't need wealth will inherit. No matter where he starts, he will accumulate his wealth. If the heir is worthy of the money he inherited, it can be used by him, otherwise it will destroy him. But you looked at him and shouted that money ruined him. Is that so? Or did he ruin his money? Don't be jealous of those incompetent descendants. Their wealth doesn't belong to you, and owning it doesn't necessarily make you better. Don't think you all deserve a piece of the action. Turning a parasite into fifty in the world cannot revive the lost virtue. Money is a vital force. Without roots, you will die. Money doesn't obey a mind that doesn't deserve it. Is that why you call it evil?
Money is your means of survival. Your declared source of livelihood is also the source of your life. If this source is destroyed, you curse your existence. Do you earn money by cheating? Take advantage of the sins or stupidity of others? Do you want to gain something beyond your ability by pleasing fools? By lowering your standards, by buying yourself something you despise? If so, your money won't bring you any happiness. And everything you buy will not be a reward for you, but a shame; This will not be an achievement, but a constant reminder of your shame. Then you will shout that money is evil because it can't replace your self-esteem? Evil because she can't enjoy your depravity? Is this the root of your hatred for money?
Money is always the result, not the reason to replace you. Money is the product of virtue, but it will not give you virtue, nor will it compensate you for your evil deeds. Whether material or spiritual, money will not let you get something for nothing. Is this the root of your hatred for money?
Maybe you mean that the love of money is the root of all evil? To love something is to understand and love its essence, and to love money is to understand and love the fact that money is created by you as much as possible, and it is the key to exchange others' best efforts for your efforts. People who hate money the most will sell their hearts for a dime. He has every reason to hate it. People who love money are willing to work to get money. They know they deserve it.
Let me tell you a little secret that sees through human nature: those who curse money get money by dishonest means; People who respect money earn it by themselves.
If someone tells you that money is evil, leave him and run away. This sentence is a warning issued by lepers when robbers approach. As long as human beings live together on the earth, they need the means to communicate with each other. If we give up money, the only substitute is a gun.
But if you want to make money and keep it, he will ask you to show noble character. Those who have no courage, self-confidence and self-esteem have no moral sense of the money rights they have, and those who are unwilling to protect money when defending their lives will not be rich for long. For bandits who have been under rocks for hundreds of years, these people are natural stone ears. Once they ask about the smell of someone who feels guilty about wealth and asks for forgiveness, they will climb out, and they will quickly relieve their guilt and his life, which is what he asked.
At that time, you will see people with double standards begin to rise: these people live by force, but rely on those who live by trade to create value for the money they plunder; These people are in the name of virtue. In a moral society, these people are criminals, and the law protects you from them. However, when society becomes criminal and plunder is legal, people use force to embezzle the property of the disarmed victim, and money begins to retaliate against his creator. These marauders believe that once people are disarmed by law, they can rob those who are unable to resist with peace of mind. But their plunder has become a magnet to attract other predators, and they will suffer the same plunder, so the competition continues. The winner is not the most capable producer, but the most ruthless person. When powerlessness becomes the norm, murderers will be more powerful than petty theft, and then society will perish in ruins and killing.
Do you want to know if this day will come? Pay attention to money, money is a barometer of social quality: when you see that the transaction is not based on voluntary consent, but forced; When you see that in order to be able to produce, you must get permission from people who don't produce anything; When you see money flowing to those who trade with interests instead of goods; When you see people who rely on corruption and relationships instead of work become rich, your law is not protecting you, but protecting them; When you see that corruption is rewarded and honesty is sacrificed, you know that this society is doomed to perish. The medium of money is too noble to compete with guns; Will not make a deal with cruelty; We will not allow a country that depends partly on powerful people and partly on plunder to continue to exist.
When saboteurs appear in the crowd, they will destroy money first. Because money is a human amulet and the foundation of moral existence. The saboteur took the gold and left the owner with a pile of waste paper. This stifles all objective standards and puts people under arbitrary rule that arbitrarily manipulates the formation of values. Gold is an objective value, which is consistent with the value of wealth created. Paper money is collateral for wealth that doesn't exist. The gun is behind him, pointing at those who want to generate wealth. Paper is a check drawn by legal robbers from accounts that do not belong to them, absorbing the virtues of the victims. Be careful, he will return it one day. It says "account overdrawn".
Don't expect people to continue to be kind when you take evil as a means of survival. Don't expect them to maintain morality. Use their lives to feed those immoral people. When creation is punished and plunder is rewarded, don't expect them to create. Don't ask who destroyed the world, it was you.
You are among the most brilliant achievements created by the greatest creative civilization, cursing the blood that sustains his life-money, and watching it collapse in frustration around you. You look at the money in front of you like a savage and wonder how the primitive jungle law spread to the edge of the city where you live. In human history, money has always been occupied by various robbers. Their names have changed, but the means are the same: seizing wealth by force, binding, squeezing, slandering creators and depriving them of their reputation. From your mouth, seemingly just but irresponsible money is a sin, which comes from an era when wealth is created by hard work. After someone discovered a mode of production, slaves have been working for it for hundreds of years. As long as products are controlled by force, wealth can be acquired like trophies, and there is nothing that force cannot conquer. However, in thousands of years of suffocation and hunger, people touted robbers as nobles with swords, natural nobles and government nobles, and despised creators as slaves, businessmen, shopkeepers and entrepreneurs.
For the prosperity of mankind, a unique country of money appeared in history. My respect and love for America is really hard to express, because it represents a country full of rationality, justice, freedom, creativity and achievements. For the first time in history, people's spirit and money were free. There is no wealth conquered, only wealth gained by labor. Instead of soldiers and slaves, they are real wealth creators, the greatest workers, the highest-level people, self-realized human beings and American entrepreneurs.
If I were to name the proudest quality of Americans, I would choose the fact that it contains everything else. They invented the phrase "creating money". No language or country has used this expression before. People have always imagined wealth as a static quantity, taking it as a privilege to possess, beg, inherit, share, plunder or get it. Americans are the first to understand that wealth is to be created, and the phrase "creating money" captures the essence of human morality.
However, this sentence has made Americans condemned by the outdated culture of the mainland where robbers are rampant. Now the robber's creed makes you regard your proudest achievement as a sign of shame, your prosperity as a crime, your greatest entrepreneur as a hooligan, and your spectacular factory as a product and property made only by the hands of laborers, just like the Egyptian pyramids built by slaves driven by whips. I believe that a rogue who smirked and said that he couldn't see the difference between money and the power of a whip should taste the whip himself, so that he could appreciate the difference here.
Before you realize that money is the root of all good things, you are destroying yourself. When money is no longer a tool for people to communicate, people become tools for others. Blood, whip and gun-money, your choice-nothing else-your time is running out.
