So I have been doing a lot of thinking and praying about my future, (which I am quite excited about at the moment). And there is one big problem that is standing in my way of doing Everything-I-Want-To-Do. This is the biggest problem in the WORLD. Perhaps the ONE thing that gets in the way of EVERYTHING.

It costs money to exist.

The reality of life is that we need shelter, food and water. As well as hugs. None of these things are free. This devastates me. I am currently working at McDonald’s (there, I’ve said it). The work isn’t bad. As far as casual jobs go its pretty cruizy and even fun sometimes. But it is work. And work conflicts with my morals. I feel like a whore, selling my Time for Money. Time is a limited resource. I’m not getting any more of it. It’s running through the hourglass as we speak. My hours are sacred and special and worth more than $14 minimum wage. I feel like a prostitute, selling such a holy thing so cheaply. But I have to do this, because it costs money to exist.

 

Or dose it? Maybe people fool themselves into thinking they need more money than they actually do. How cheaply can you live and still be happy with life? (hint: A lot cheaper than most people think). How do you get your life passion to coincidentally earn you enough money to exist? Is it possible for everyone to follow their life passion, or the artists and dreamers the selfish ones? Do we even need money to exist? What are the most important things in life? (hint: its not objects)

 

 

The big scam is that money is actually worthless. It is just little pieces of paper and metal. The only reason it works is because everybody pretends it is worth something. It is a big lie. I think one day it might fall down into shambles and it will be interesting to see who is the fool holding all the silly tokens.

 

The bible says to love your neighbor as you love yourself. If I REALLY love my neighbor as I love myself, won’t I be just as willing to buy them some bread, as I would be to buy myself some? But if I was the baker and I loved my customers the same as I loved myself, I would give all my bread away for free. I wouldn’t earn any money, but this would be fine if the grocer and the butcher all loved me as I loved myself. And if everyone loved everyone they would want to contribute the best that they could to society - which would mean reaching their ultimate life potentiol. Is this sort of reality at all possible? Maybe. In the early church the believers shared everything they owned. Look how far we have fallen. Who are all these people walking around, calling themselves Christians. We are not even following one of the two basic pillars of our entire faith! (Pillars: Love God and Love your neighbor).

 

I dream of a future where it doesn’t cost money to exist. I want to find a way around this ONE BIG PROBLEM that is stopping everyone from reaching for handfuls of stars. I want to tear down an economy built on greed and replace it with a currency of love. I think this is Impossible. But I will try anyway because I worship an Impossible God.
