Authority of money

Money it self, is an institution, it has a great authority, it’s something really big and powerful and everybody in their right mind should crave it. The ones that do not do that are seen somehow weird, dysfunctional, stupid and outrageous (enough adjectives?) human-beings. I think setting yourself above money is the greatest thing you can ever do. I don’t mean to be a monk in a monastery but just live careless life spending what you have.

Take the great song Santeria by Sublime. Even the song really being about “jealous ex-boyfriend pursuing to reclaim his ex-girlfriend from a man“, but also has a line: “I had a million dollars but I spent it all“. He is setting himself above the greate money.

I have this stupid fantasy of getting a lot of money really fast, like from a lotto or something. What if had 10 millions… Just giving that ten millions away to something good is even more exiting than trying to invest it and conserve it. I don’t know would I have the bottle to do that, I hope I would. And if so, by giving away ten millions I bet you would get most of it back, even in the purest attention of just giving something away (or especially then) you are still buying something. Well, that’s just one way of looking it, other is of course that with money you can do good stuff also, without money you can do jack but complain.

Yes, I’m really broke now, trying to find a way to live with that. Self help to you all!
