The Illusion Called Money!

The Illusion Called Money!

Money is an illusion. A psychological relationship between an object and value is what has been attached to it, and the relationship is a damn serious one!

This illusion that many see and touch each day takes the form of the Dollar, Pounds, Euros, and Yen. But these are only the most familiar of the infinite illusions created by the idea of money. Time is proverbially money! And so are blood and drugs where need be. A mobile phone business can be a bank and so is human trafficking. The world is full of illusions and thoughts of different shapes and sizes.

Again, ever thought of what is on or under the surface of money we handle everyday? Everything!

A wide variety of substances penetrate money every time it changes hands.

It is reported that a laboratory analysis of used money reveals substances made-up of not only the chemistry of money but also its very essence – the metaphor for non conventional payments, inheritances, savings, transactions, loans and bankruptcies. Money is said to have many colors some of which are good and others evil. People do all sorts of crazy things for money. No wonder the Holy books describe it as the major source of evil even though it answers all questions at the same time. But again, the wisest man in the Bible – Solomon summed up money as all “vanity”.

What then is your color and perception of this illusion called “Money” Think about it!
