"If money creates possibility... then wealth is the volume of possibilities squandered. Wealth is the accumulation of irrelevance."
Technically God creates possibility and our work makes it real. But money goes in place of work. How then can one have one billion dollars of work? That is impossible for any man to accomplish. It is not his but the good of the society he moves with, the human race in ways. All good things, for all good things come from God. Using his or her money for anything but good is indolence and thanklessness. I have the impression due to the vast quantities of poverty and international sanctioned economic fraud that much money, much work, is being used not for good.
The main focus, though, is on double-use of money, through lending institutions. They seem to have hundreds of billions lent to numerous agencies, including the United States government. I disagree that the US Government can continually run creditors for years, nor should be allowed to function continually with massive outstanding deficits, regardless of the immediate circumstances, for twenty years or more at a time without a plan or schedule to finish off the loans. Where will America be in 2010? 2020? At this rate without a peak oil crisis, the country will be in terminally unpayable debt. We are borrowing against our own future and present by having such high debt, and continuing to collect more. The present rate of growth will not supercede the future payments to ourselves and international lending institutions. Even if we could, a steadier and more apparent rate of growth would be fabulous. If our standard of living were improving steadily or at all, such loanage might be excusable, but it is not. Our quality of living, our median wage, our everything is slipping away. These loans are good money after bad, and systemic changes must be made in our own economy to make us fiscally and socially solvent. I do not refer to IMF-style adjustments. I refer to a shaking of those who control the money, those who print the money, those who decide where the money goes and how industry shall operate. They must change their ways, for their debt has grown in impudence and their responsibility to humanity must be fulfilled, regardless of who fills those shoes.
Live fearlessly at all times. That is best, and certainly better than living with any fear. Do what is good and feel what is right.
