Green is Backs!

Hmmmmm...How can I talk about time some more, without actually talking about it...

Oooooo...I know, money! (They are the same after all)

Scared ya, didn't I. Believe me it will be a long time before it's the right time to talk about time. (Like ya haven't heard that one before, eh.)

Anywho, enough idle chit-chat, let's ask some questions!

Why is money so...moneyish?
moneyish: valuable, important, integrated, loved, powerful, almost (ironically) god-like...

Why? well the answer is an obvious one, and unsatisfying...just 'cus.

But to take it part by part:
It is valuable because it represents those things which everyone wants, with it we can get whatever we want. What I find funny is...we can do that anyway... In all honesty we can have anything we want because nothing belongs to anyone. The only way we can "possess" anything is when we have a "power" over someone. Whether that be physical or mental, strength or blackmail. basically and advanced form of the barter system, me want that you want this, we trade ,UG. The problem, If you don't give me that I won't give you this. It is a good thing that I'm not gonna throw Darwinism into the melting pot. Otherwise guy A would be dead, because the most intelligent thing guy B could do would be to remove that "power" which allows guy A to possess that which he wants (I'll leave it to you to figure out which one is A and which one is B). Therefore, guy B gets what he wants without loses something he possesses or wants. But since that's not an option, well the other way to remove the power from guy A is for guy B to not want what guy A has. A little aside here: economics states that there is a scarcity of resources and unlimited wants, and the problem is not enough to fulfill the wants. The solution, find more stuff! Or! better yet don't want anything. I know, I know, easier said than done, kinda. And when I say nothing I mean nothing. That includes life, but then again I'm being contradictory because that would also mean death too...But my real point is to exist were you are, and allow yourself necessities of life basically food and water. You really don't need clothing and you don't need a shelter. And yes, I also know that while this is nice it won't stay forever, because there will be that one guy, and it will be a guy, that loves food way too much, and wants more than anyone. This want of stuff and power is inevitable. So I finally say this the smartest thing to do is not to not want completely, but to want what others want before your own wants. ("I want you to say that again" ;).

In this it shows us why money is so important, because it is the exact opposite of this. Money is the solution where we create something, why not make it out of trees, and say it is valuable...for everyone! There! :P. That way everyone is on equal footing, when considering their wants, they want other objects and money represents these. Without it we wouldn't be as...evolved...as we are now, we wouldn't be as civilized...

And because of this it is now integrated into our society. If we get rid of it our society would collapse. The way money is headed it will eventually be in the form of computerised accreditation. So then I will really laugh because we will truly "own" a lot of nothing. At least right not we can say we "own" a piece of a tree. And when that happens we'll be right back were we started possessing something through the means of nothing, because we possess nothing. (It is true, I have only talked about objects and the things we, in a way, do truly posses are our abilities.)

However, because it is so valuable, important, and integrated is why it is like a dear sibling, and thusly, loved.

And something that is loved by most anyone, is very powerful indeed.

So I answer the question "Why is money so... Moneyish?", with: Why Indeed.
