Why Is Making Money the Purpose Wrong?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Humans are exceptionally good at reconsidering, focusing, and investing effort. But when they look in the wrong direction and focus on the wrong thing, they become deeply entangled in error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A dog\u2019s choice of career or family does not drastically shape its life; a human\u2019s choices do. Money is such a choice. When chosen incorrectly, it becomes an irreparable ghost, a children\u2019s fairy tale. No rational person would accept dying the next day in exchange for a billion dollars. Life is more valuable than money, and there are other purposes. Perhaps things that can be bought with money can be goals\u2014but they are certainly not the best ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How did we end up dedicating our lives to a symbol invented by states for power? In fact, we also dedicate ourselves to the state. Social status and living according to others are diseases that keep human communities standing. Across the world, individuals who die for countless harmful ideologies are tragic outcomes of our ability to relearn and be reprogrammed. Making money a purpose is another example of this belated imitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When asked why he became rich, Warren Buffett\u2014one of the wealthiest people in the world\u2014says, \u201cI wanted to be free. I wanted to do what I wanted.\u201d Note that he does not say \u201cmoney.\u201d Freedom is a legitimate purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moreover, Buffett lives in a modest house, drives an ordinary car, and follows discount campaigns to save a dollar on meals. There are non-modest wealthy people as well, but it can be said that for them money is merely a burden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most people do not want money; they want to show off, and they call it money. If money directs us toward desire and consumption, then it destroys us in an endless vortex. For most people, too much money is harmful. Giving money to someone who only aims for money is as harmful as giving drugs to a drug addict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a result of billions of years of evolution, it is not difficult to assume that everything needed for happiness already exists within us. To be happy, it may be better not to do something rather than to do something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not do the wrong thing. For example, if you aimed for money, aim to be human instead\u2014this is more attainable. If you failed to reach money, there is still wisdom within you that you can reach. Owning things only increases the burden of the journey. Is it necessary to live in a better house? Yes. But one should think not of the house or the money, but of the peace to be lived inside that house. After all, it is possible to own a house and still be restless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Perhaps life gives us not what we want, but what we need. Among these are challenges that form a purpose for life. A purpose-less struggle for survival is, for most people, the most profitable one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Human Is the Creator We do not know whether the human species is superior in intelligence, but it is clearly more capable than other beings when it comes to learning.

Counterarguments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Most people say they want to fulfill their desires, yet desires exist not to be satisfied but to be postponed\u2014they always demand more.
Most people say they want to help, but they overlook that humans receive help not through material wealth, but through mental presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat Should We Do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you did, do not continue.
If you continued, stop now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
