You don't need "fuck you money" you need "fuck you to money"
We need to go back to basics. The Bible was right. Love of money is the root of evil.
Accumulating wealth isn't the same as the "love of money." People who harm others in the pursuit of wealth are what the bible is referring to.
Yep
In a shallow context yes. Sayings typically have deeper meanings.
Money is an abstraction of value/power
What is another thing we know about the nature of man? That he is corruptable.
What corrupts man? Power and/or greed.
You have covered the greed aspect of money in your statement.
You haven't covered the power aspect.
The useful abstraction "money" allowed people to accumulate godlike levels of power.
Imagine being able to have a mountain relocated because you want to and you have the money to pay to have it done. Imagine what that does to your head.
Or you could pay off people's mortgages, let people stay in your penthouse when they have serious troubles, give money to causes and/or charities in which you believe, or even something like buying a social media company to restore free speech. There are a couple of people we are interested in that fit that bill.
Money isn't necessarily evil. It is how you use it that is evil.
That's the point... The issue is that the money is corrupting and what you're describing do with it is a fairy tail.
It would be nice if people worked that way but man is corruptible.
Find me the billionaire philanthropist who lives in austerity and gives everything in excess to charity.
Then tell me what he is attoning for.
We don't live in a world of saints, we live in a world of men.
If an evil person wants to act as they want without consequence, they need power. If they're a smart evil person, they don't act on their wants when they don't have power.
This is why there's tons of psychopaths in high positions, they are motivated by the power that will let them be evil fucks without consequence.
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
Here a man that understands.
We actually live in a really sick situation because the world runs on an abstraction of power that can be unreasonably accumulated into a central power.
If we were smart, our politicians would be monks who live in austerity, instead we set up a system designed to promote wealthy narcissists.
I didn't say get rid of the free market or trade or private property. I just suggested that the abstraction in the form of money is corrupting and bad and people get defensive.
People want to be rich. They want to live like kings, which requires underpaid servants. They don't understand the luxury we already have in the first world. They think we're poor.
We're actually spoiled.
The only thing I imagine about a mountain relocation is Jesus saying enough faith in my Father u can ask the tallest mountain to fall in the deepest crevice in the Ocean. Faith.
Also I love the 2Pac lyrics in ‘Letter to the President’ song : My Heaviest words can move a mountain
God blessed and tasked many kings with such abundance of massively wealth kingdoms of wealth because it was noble to be able to feed the servants and there’s nothing wrong with it inherently. Kudos for typing the “love of money..” above. Ur almost there.
When the new testament had Zacchaeus the tax collector, And Jesus explained that the elderly woman who is the most generous - despite being the tinyest amount. because she gave ALL that she had.
Money is a tool. Your shouldn't 'love' your tools. Appreciate what your tools let you do, and show respect for your tools, practice tool safety and be aware of potential dangers your tools can present. But don't obsess over them.
Money, guns, wrenches, syringes, oil paints, voltmeters... All tools.
