Money doesn’t buy real friends. Doesn’t buy real love. Doesn’t buy real happiness.
No, but what it does buy is the time to do those things, at least until the global system actually changes. I mean you’re not entirely wrong, its all fake, but also real at the same time.
I get what you mean, to live under a system which has requirements, means you must meet those requirements.
However to be stuck in that mindset perpetually is a sickness. There reaches a point where you must say, this is enough. I am comfortable and those that I’m responsible for/care for are provided for when they need it most. We have to stop ourselves and reassess our condition to determine if we’re straying too far. Human psychology has plenty of vulns and desensitization/growing too comfortable is most definitely one of them.
Greed is a pretty globally held sin in most religions and appears to be a fairly objective vice imo. I think too many people assign value to salary and materialistic things - but the reality is that you may be infinitely more valuable to a smaller company that pays you say 60k max than to a company that’d pay you 100k and could afford more but will just as soon lay you off because they think they can just buy more people. Value != only how much you make
