Money is an Illusion

Have you wondered why every one around you keeps saying, "I don't have money", "I need money", "I want to have lots of money"? Have you considered what money really is?

Yes, it's just an illusion.

Money, really is a piece of paper. You add some ink on it, put a handsome photo on, give it a signature and chop. Put a value on it... And there you go. Money.

So if I were to draw on a piece of paper and then deemed it to be money, can you say that's not money?

Money is an illusion.

It is the reason for crimes, for family disputes, for emotional breakdown, for dignity loss, etc. Why do we fix such a great importance on a piece of paper?

I believe people should be educated to see money as an illusion. Money is everywhere. If you translate money into happiness, then if you are happy, you are rich. Likewise, if you believe money will cure your woes, then you can be the money that settles your problems.

Money is not your ultimate goal, neither is it to the richest magnate on earth. Money is simply a tool for one to achieve one's aim. And that aim is nothing to do with money. That aim is to fulfil one's burning desires -- help others, enjoy life, retire early, tour the world, be a happy man. Nobody will die saying he is satisfied with his life because he had the money with him at his coffin. People will be proud of things that they had been able to do with or without the tool.

Money is an illusion. Blinding people from reality. The most powerful illusion in the lifetime of Earth $$$

  1. Illusion or not, it's definitely up to one to decide. For me, I do agree that it's really meaningless to be slaves of money the whole of our lives. However, money indeed drives one to a corner when in shortage. Value of money? It's being input by the creator and users of currency so perhaps that's what makes money real. Well, the important thing to learn is, make money work for you, and not the other way round.
