Can Going Without Money Hurt the Economy? One Man's Quest to Be Penniless - Yahoo!


A happy man - with no money


I respect Mark Sundeen's opinion "That money is an illusion, an addiction," however, I disagree with it emphatically.  Money cannot lead anywhere, but the love of it can:  it can lead to destruction in many forms.  Money is not opinionated, but the love of it is.  Money is concrete but the love of money is the illusion, the addiction to itself: the love of money.  The illusion is that money is worth doing anything under the sun to obtain it.  The love of money seeks its feverish fix at anybody's expense.  Money is necessary.  Verify that with the people the world over who need it to buy food for their families because in times like these, the hungriest of families cannot find assistance because there is none or there is some other disqualification.


This is not the love of money but the dire need of it that has pushed some desperate, not greedy, folks beyond their human limits, i.e., "wits end corner" as the Bible puts it.  Or ask another member of the human race who is possibly at the brink of death and cannot get medical help because of no money, and those who do all they can to keep it that way (be sure to ask about those).  Why?  For the Love of Money (http://bit.ly/J2h538).  (The O'Jays erred in one point:   that "Money is the root of all evil" when it is the love thereof that is the evil root.  The love of money, being the illusion, brings about futile results in the use (or misuse) of it.  The love of money cannot ever find any happiness and peace, no matter how much it lies to itself (illusion). 


In addition to that, assistance programs are necessary; otherwise, there would be no federal care of any kind, which means no democracy or democratic status – or federal system - worth having.  There have never been many monarchies, dictatorships, oligarchies, etc. that cared for the subsistence of the people in their realms or anywhere else as history shows.  That is not what the Master would advocate.  But who really cares what Jesus-Buddha or Buddha-Christ thinks?  It is too non-sensational, too charitable, too boring, and so on etc.  Further, those who object to them should live in third world countries (although Adrianna Huffington suggests this country is one: [http://amzn.to/ItRuy2]).  Experience sometimes must be the best teacher.   However, just like “There is a River,” there is a Plan that ensures that knowledge will come, or that those who need it will have the opportunity to get it in some existence (http://bit.ly/J8xaGg).  That is why “no man is an island” and “Physician, heal thyself” are good jewels to wear around the neck.  These gems mean more than money.  Again, money is necessary in the niches (rules out Death) intended for it and the wise use of it.   


Lastly, I hope this peace seeker does not get food poisoning in the various avenues where he forages for sustenance.  I read of a famine-struck area in Africa (probably in a National Geographic Magazine) that showed that the only way to stave off starving, hungry people ate whatever dead things they found.  It probably still is in some places.  The pictures are still in my mind.  Those people of course did not choose to be in that position.  Yet like the subject of this post, they were and still are subject to dying from some food intake that is too far gone.  I also heard a little while ago that eateries can now leave their left-over foods for hungry people to eat without breaking the law.  I hope so.   That is a happy thought.  I hope that when Mr. Suelo's teeth start falling out, he has figured out how he will remedy that because I had a head full of bad teeth.  I finally was able to rid myself of them via a dentist.   I hope "Penniless" one the very best as he follows his convictions.

A neo-nazi kills himself and four others - the continuing Saga of Rage in America

I wonder if this is the same "Socialist" group the some-type-of-pundits accuse the President of being a member of!  If so, the man is working against himself, truly.

And then there are the young ones.  May the Light of Love have mercy on them, and on his shell.  Even in all of that, the fact that he served his country can never be discounted.  Were he alive he might shoot me for sport, I know, but since God is Love, that is stronger than the darkness that claimed him in the end.
