One hell of a crazy place. How else are we going to barter with 6.5 billion people in the world.

how do you define better future? money> dentistry or happiness>physics/astrol. life is not improved by money. all youve got is all you need. your life is your decision. say so.

No, I wouldn't. People have a habit of taking the easiest way to anything and it makes them weak. Sure, the money is nice today but over time you lose the ability to fend for yourself. You lose the ability to go out and earn your own way in this world. So waht happens when the government cuts the free funds?\n\nAlso, there is no such thing as free. It gets paid by somebody somewhere, always. If they are giving it to me they are taking it from somebody else. That's wrong.

No, I personally would only give money to someone who had obvious material needs, & not for emotional needs.  My advice to you is try to find a way to be happy that isn't based on materialism.

We'd rather be the world police than take care of our own.  Now, i don't think we should just be giving money to the homeless, but it could certainly go toward programs and centers that help someone get back up on their feet to be a productive member of society again.

Money is the root of evil. But no one can survive without money. And without money happiness is hard to find. Really.

Look at that, you've answered your own question.\n\nFor money.\n\nIf you're poor enough, you'll do anything to survive.

It depends on how you acquire the things/stuff that you own. If you finance it which I think is the way most people do then yes things own you. In this case we would then be slaves in the sense that we will have to continue working until everything is paid for. That of course would be OK if you happen to love your job.\n\nThink about how many people you know that don't. This is the scary part for me because I see this as possibly one of the major ills within our society.\n\nIt can become a vicious cirle.\n\nThe more we are unhappy, the more we try to make ourselves happy by buying more stuff. If we finace the stuff the more we are stuck in our unhappy jobs. To make it worse, we are constantly bombarded by media with the message that we need to buy more stuff to be happy. \n\nEven governments get in on the act by speaking about "healthy economys", and to keep our economy healthy what can you do as a good citizen?\n\nBUY MORE STUFF? (be happy)

Money is the new GOD, and everyone needs it to survive; we've fallen into this conspiracy completely that we fail to realize that the best way to extend our existence. Many worship at the money tree, hoping to gain wealth enough to live life to what others tell us is the fullest. To have a full life, one must have made a difference; break the sound barrier; walk on the Moon, run across Canada while having cancer with one leg; attempt to bring races together with a Dream and all the while these men never sought to get rich. A little while ago a woman spent $20 Million Dollars to ride on the Russian Space station; in this way she was able to fly over every starving person in the world, thanks to the money she'd wasted. The greatest conspiracy >> Man will exist into the Space age, and venture to new planets; some what of a Star Trek. The truth is man will destroy his/her home, their relatives, their lives, and everybody else, fighting for something as simple as PEACE. As more countries join the Nuclear Club; threaten their neighboring countries; while others war for more OIL money, those who starve, die of deceases; all man-made,As the fish vanish from the planet; how does man see a future; not only for themselves, but for their children.\nThe world mankind destroy today is the world for its children; what use all that money hoarded, when it is all ash?

First of all, I only know of one world. Where are the other two? If there were three I would make everyone  start off equal. No one will be better than anyone else. Every race, creed, religion, would be the same. Everyone would get free medical, dental, a home etc. Then it would be up to the person to make their life better or worse. Thanks for the Q hun.

I'd like to see a world where people just help each other - when someone needs help - and forget all this monetary value placed on ... everything.  That's the MORAL thing to do.

Yes we should. I believe that we should help those in need if we can. Imagine what they have to go through. Would you want to have to go through that on a daily basis. \n\nI'm not saying everyone has to be like us but at least give them the chance to have a good standard of living.

well, society needs money to function..if everything was free people wouldn't be able to moniter their greediness and no one would do any work. we'd all be couch potatoes 24/7..but there'd be nothing to watch because there'd be no tv shows or movies because no one would be working at all!\na person needs money to survive, and if you don't want to become homeless. And of course you need money if you want to buy luxurious things, but in reality that's not a necessity. You should have enough money to get food and clothes and everything, splurging if you feel so inclined...but then you should also give back some money if you have enough..to the starving kids in africa!

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.
