The Link To Life

Once people worked to raise food to eat, build shelters to live in, collect herbs to heal and make clothes to protect our bodies from the elements.

Now the be all and end all of existence appears to be making money.  Most of what I hear on the news is about how we need to create more jobs, so people can make money and build more businesses, so people can work there to make money.

We cannot eat money, nor drink it.  It does not heal us if we lay it on our bodies and it surely does not keep us warm in the winter, or cool in the summer.

We have created a false god whose symbolism has grown so out of proportion no one seems to remember what it really is.

Money is only a link to life enhancing things and it is only a link because we have cut off all the other ways to reach the food, water and shelter without it.

Now the pharmaceutical companies are no longer too interested in producing some medicines, because they don’t make enough money from them.

Seems to me we are at the beginning of a very terrifying trend.
