Hello Jack,
Your many words didn't resolve the question.
The Congress, Agents and Representatives of the Shareholding/Ownership Class, have insured the 'Wealthy' against overtaxation by the Government. Why GIVE the money to Government when you can LOAN the money to the Government.
It ALL about the MONEY ... it's why you get out of bed in the morning.
No, I disagree. There is so much more to life than money. Money is definitely NOT the reason I get out of bed in the morning.
Love is the reason.
Sharing good times with good people.
Money is just what you need to enjoy life. It doesn't take a lot of money to enjoy life. If you can't be happy with a basic comfortable life, there is no way you will be happy with a life of riches.
Once you have achieved the basic comforts of life you are really as happy as you are ever going to be. More money after that does not equal more happiness.
Happiness comes from within. It can't be purchased.
It's all inside your head.
You think: 'Oh, if I just had that thing it would make me happy.'
So you work and you earn and you get that thing. And it makes you happy.
But then a strange thing happens. That happiness of having that thing you wanted so bad? It fades. You no longer desire that thing; because you already have it.
So you set your sights on something else. And you think if you just had that other thing THAT would make you happy.
You're caught in a loop, don't you see?
It is a loop of desire, acquisition, reward, and shifting desires.
It's all inside your head.
It's not really the things that are making you happy; it is the people you seek the approval of for getting those things. It's the love, the interaction with other people.
Love is the reason.
All the money and the things? That's all replaceable. The special times with special people? A shared experience? That's unique. That's what adds color to your life. That's what enriches your life.
Money is just money. There's nothing special about money. It's not about the money. Money is just what you use to get things.
Things are not the end-all be-all of life. It's who you share them with.
The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time.
People and love are more important for that than things or money.
