Really great post brother. We exchange our most precious commodity we have in this life for money. Every day we get up with the same amount of time as everyone else, but depending on our circumstances, some of us are forced to exchange our precious time for money to provide for our families.

When I think of money I think of time. This system that you discussed that has lasted throughout the ages is simply a way of leveraging our time to do their bidding. The creation of money is a very advanced form of the barter system. You exchange your skill or item of value for something you need from someone else. The problem with the barter system is sometimes you can't find a willing participant to trade with, so here comes money to solve that problem. You trade your skill or item for money (which has been slyly sold to the masses as being worth something) and then you take that money and purchase the item or skill you need. This is how it was explained to me in my youth by my grandfather. I feel the advent of money is the single biggest con in human history. Does it serve a purpose? Absolutely Could we all survive without it? Absolutely We'd just have a lot of changing to do.
