Does Money Ease Pain

Posted on Jun 17th, 2009 by rugged_gurl1 : The Virtue of Many Things In Life rugged_gurl1

I have the longest urge or desire to write about $ woes. Since past weekend, or the past few months, there were not just money woes, there were political undertones along with $ issues. There would be some crossover with some policies and money.
*This writing is a suggestively.
Money becomes very much not an answer to all woes. Solutions becomes something that are coming from grassroots or somewhere unexpected. Money does not become end all. Some asked is the age of capitalism come to the end? Is the age of Marxism regained its momentum?
What these past few months, the world have become a reluctant global citizen(s) and becoming a conscious back to the roots folks. People feel they have to become the jones, as a result, our world could not handle rapid amount of the growth. We look inwards again. We believe that looking that way, as a result, would or might lead us to happiness? Trading with our own tribe or country would lead us to prosperity? Since there is no definition of how much money is too much, its infinite. (in both capitalist and Marxist.)
Lets look at what one owns: clothing, food and home and that are the basics. These are the necessities and that would lead to happiness and warmth and a sense of safety. If one doesn't have one or any of those, one can be very stressful. In terms of happiness, probably not too happy if one needs to seek for clothing. If need to seek for housing or food, well, still not too happy. Most will seek for clothes first, because most would not do without clothing. Then, we should seek for jobs before seeking for food and shelter. Since clothes are taken care of, one can seek for a job. Without money, one could not have a safe shelter or food. Hopefully soon, that one person can get some assistance to seek for a job from job fair. Once again, its stressful to do that. Once job is obtained, the cycle begin again....
