Piece of the pie or rule and control over Money/Power/Wealth! Serious people like myself are willing to put our lives on the line to gain this equal access instead of piss-poor lifestyles we have to work for!

You are so right about this...Money always causes so much trouble...it's just money, ya know?  We would be so much better without money, these people down the street for me there called minonights, not sure if I spelled it right, but they don't believe in electronic things..have no TV, radio computers, they grow there own food, never go to the grocery store, I mean they grow vegetables and fruits, make there own bread, they make there own cloths and they always seem so happy and don't need much money,...Let's just pray about it..God bless

If you are not short of money, then the answer is NO.  To me, love and responsibility is a mechanism of control.

It's all about money.

I believe we are set on a certain path for this life, and that path remains hidden to us until we pass on.  For this reason, life is better taken in stride, letting it unfold before you as opposed to expecting this or that.  We don't control anything, but rather live under the illusion of control.

I don't really think they are "stealing" our money. I do think the govt, that is those we elect to run it, tend to find ways to spend money and then worry about where to get it afterwards. If I ran my household like that I wouldn't be able to make it. If you want the real crooks look a the cost of insurance. I pay more for health insurance every month than some people make in a month.

Yeah,I toughed about it.You know,in the world,there has to be some order.That order is mad with help-money.You see,not everyone thinks at this way.When I am buying chocolate or bread,or anything else,I think to my self:I am giving her just paper and coins.She is giving me food.But money...It makes people do awful things.Killings,corruptions,wars-everything just because of the money.It is sad really.Humans highest goal is to earn more money,then spend it,then earn more money etc.etc.You can stop it.But if you think for just like 5 seconds,you will see that,unfortunately,money does make the world go around.It is true.

Pretty much pressure. i would hate not being able to do what i want when i want. and not being able to see my family because i would be doing a movie or something. but some things are cool. getting stores to close down for you or going right into a club without waiting. or getting food and drinks for free. even though that doesn't make sense. why would someone who has all the money in the world need stuff for free? hell i have no money i need stuff for free.

To a certain extent, yes. No one really has freedom, money is power. If you aren't rich, then you have none.

It's always been known that money is a mood changer be it for better or worse. Some people have been without for so long that they just don't know how to act or behave when they finally get two cents over a dollar. However the matter, don't allow that to affect you when you advance in life.

Yes of course, but how to change it is the Worth million $ question. The reason that I couldn't change my life is not clear to me. During the recession of  1927-30, a mad patient was discharged form a mental Hospital in Germany, when he was going back to his home after quite some time the world was facing this economic recession crises,when the conductor in the bus asked him for a ticket, he didn't have any cash to pay, then he took out some gold piece from his luggage and asked the conductor to to have his ticket charges, every one in the bus got surprised and he was taken to a police station. At police station, his gold was changed into cash by a state owned bank and probably his cash was in a truck and he was escorted by police vehicle. When he was going back to his home. Many people were asking him how do you feel? His answer was very simple "there are two things either I am still mad or the world has become mad". The same I feel, as I couldn't change my life, why?

OF COURSE, it becomes a part of your everyday life.. especially those who are fallen in debts and have no one to relieve them from their burden..\ni've also found out that the more you give the more you get in return.. in the begining i thought that it was just talk to make people give more but it actually works.. its not only the money you get in return but the whole feeling of peace you feel inside i cant explain it but its beautiful.

Well, first you should want in one hand and shit in the other.  After a few days see which one fills up.  Sorry, but there is very little free money in this world when you need it.  However, if your rich it just keeps coming.

I think money is great when it comes to buying the essentials such as a home, and food, ect., but when it comes to material items I think we should learn to live without it. Some people try to buy other people's love or friendship...and that isn't right.

Yes.  Ultimately you are the only person that ever has to live with every choice you have made, and follow every path you ever took.  It doesn't matter what life throws at you, its always how you react to it that matters.  That is the part that makes us all individuals.  We have free will to decide what we make of whats put in front of us, so we are the only people that can be held responsible for our own choices.

Money isn't always better.  You can become a slave to it, or you can become a corporate hooker.  I think making more than you spend is everyone's goal though.
