Is it normal that i think money is pathetic

I think its kinda sad that the whole world revolves around pieces of paper with numbers on. Money was the silliest idea to ever be thought of why does it even have to exist? People seem to think having more money makes you better than other people. The world would be so much better if money had just never been thought of like if you could just walk in to a shop pick up what you wanted and then leave. Also jobs that no one wants to do like cleaning schools should pay more than the jobs everyone wants to do like singer or footballer because in reality they don't actually require any more skills than jobs that pay less. Money is just the biggest problem in the whole world if it didn't exist people might have stopped deadly illnesses like ebola becuase there would be no not being able to afford cures also there would be no world hunger without money. Its just altogether the worst thing ever!

    I wish we didn't have to worry about money. Back in the old days, there were trades: you'd get one item for giving up one of your own.

    Unfortunately, to alot of people (especially the Pro-Big Business types), money "talks" and is the "universal language of the world".

    I hate it.

      Was that in the stone age though? I love the idea of offering your trade but it must have been ages ago.

        Your argument might have been sensible had you offered an alternative, rather than just a mindless rant.

            Yes but now you are all upset because your post is just silly shit. Propose a solution like an adult, don't just bitch about the problem, like a child.

        I would say you are not the stupidest person alive. But, I would say that you have no reasoning skills. Your life will become much easier if you learn logic and critical thinking. I wish you luck.

    Money exists because without it people would expect everything for free and it would encourage greed and laziness. It might be possible to have a society that functions withh trading, but money has a more consistent value and is something that makes trade simple. It becomes a necessary evil in an intelligent society.

    It's a bad idea in the beginning, but for the type of society we live in and how everything works, it's quite necessary. But seeing as most of the worlds currency is just a number in a computer server and not actually redeemable for gold (no where near enough gold). We just succeeded in turning light into matter a few months ago. So maybe replicators and the star trek utopia isn't far away. It all comes down to people being selfis and petty and asking "what's in it for me?" When they offer a good or service. But it's a good question when resources aren't free.

    i hope this help and please anyone reply i would love to hear other's thoughs on this subject of mine.

    life is not about money its about development if a person have a job and work and get paid the whole thing in life is about the development of the mind and when a person work this is what they get cause when a person work they use there mind to focus and concentrate and learn and grown and to learn even more so that working can be easy even tho its hard.

    the money subject to working is not wrong are bad are good are great its netural money have no say so in a person life but the person holding it and the sad thing is when a person is doing something for money they lack logical and critical thinking cause most people dont like working and a pressure mind cant think clearly unless someone like the job they working.

    all in all life is about development and many people are lazy and thinking of money as the roots to happyness when this is wrong happyness is not a place are a location its the inner being so when you work think of your mind and your thinking mind body soul and money do matter for your well being.

    but the true meaning of live is development of the mind and though money people get lazy they say let me work and go home and rest even tho they have many hours to do something else even include sleeping.

    society and its thinking need to change for the betterment of mankind we need to think about are mind and not so much money and when we do this we well make lots and lots of money you can do anything if you put your mind to it but first you need to train it don't let it train you.

    even thousands of years in the past in china history they talk about letting go of the body even are best martial artist in the past also today jet lee jackie chan even talk about the mind and all martal arts are good cause they train there mind and let go of them selves and tell me does it work how they get so good idk lol.

    my point is life is more then money its about finding happyness within your self haveing virtues haveing values in your life haveing hope and finding yourself your only here to become more then you came here to be development.

    but then again its ok cause even i am not perfect at all and even i have not found happyness at all and i'm 26 welcome to the family tree of life.

    i hope this help and please anyone reply

    Your ideal world isn't possible. Even if our planet experienced some global disaster, there will be someone with a money mentality. I think the problem with money is materialism and excess. It is possible to have money without these things. Most people don't know how to prioritise.

      Your life has been such a sad tale. It looks like you'll be leaving your kids without a mother too due to your own selfishness. At such young ages too.

      And it's true, I don't hate you. I just admitted defeat. What can I say to someone who doesn't give a damn obviously?

          No. You shouldn't. They're too young.

          But what difference does it make if you're just going to die? You're a fool, OP. A fool that screwed up her own life before it even began. I feel sad for your kids and husband (as he screwed up his life too).

              Right. You just keep telling yourself that. With taking drugs, I doubt it.

              I'm done here. There's nothing more for me to say.

          There's children on the street using guns and knives
          Taking drugs and each other's lives
          Killing each other with knives and forks
          Calling each other names like 'dork'

          There's people on the street getting diseases from monkeys
          Yeah, that's what I said - they're getting diseases from monkeys
          Now there's junkies with monkey disease
          Who's touching these monkeys, please
          Leave these poor sick monkeys alone
          They've got problems enough as it is.

          Man's lying on the street
          Some punk's chopped off his head
          I'm the only one who stops
          To see if he's dead / Mmm... / Turns out he's dead.

          And that's why I'm singing...

          What...what is wrong with the world today?
          (What is wrong with the world today?)
          What...what is wrong with the world today?
          You gotta think about it
          Think think about it.

          Good cops been framed and put into a can.
          All the money that we're making is going to the man.
          What man? / Which man? / Who's the man? / When's a man a man? / What makes a man a man? / Am I a man? / Yes. Technically I am.

          They're turning kids into slaves just to make cheaper sneakers.
          But what's the real cost?
          'Cause the sneakers don't seem that much cheaper.
          Why are we still paying so much for sneakers
          When you got them made by little slave kids
          What are your overheads?

          Well, at the end of your life, you're lucky if die,
          Sometimes I wonder why we even try.
          I saw a man lying on the street half dead
          With knives and forks sticking out of his leg.
          And he said - "Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow!
          Can somebody get that knife and fork out of my leg, please?
          Can somebody please remove these cutleries from my knees?"
