My usual random thought towards money
Money is one of the most universal object in the world. Money flows to whoever, whenever and wherever has access to it. Money doesn’t discriminate, money only goes to whoever creates value no matter what that principle of value is, it could be negative value principle or positive value principle.
What do I mean by negative and positive value principle. First of all what do we understand by principles? In my opinion I think principle is a behavior or attitude exhibited by someone, and on this basis they believe it defines their true meaning of how they live their lives.
Can principles be categorized as both good or bad? It depends, what I might see as a positive principle is different from what other people might see, they may see it negative. Most times we see them as positive because they fit our purpose or it is what we consider morally admirable.
But money doesn’t care about what we see as something that fits our purpose or something we consider morally admirable, money just wants you to create value so it can flow to you. It doesn’t care how you do it, or what manner of way you achieve it.
Money usually comes when a solution to people’s problem has been created. That is why money goes to porn stars in as much as it goes to pastors. Porn stars have created a solution to sexually excited people’s urge for sex. They are ready to pay any amount to satisfy their sexual view by watching porn. Pastors claim to give people spiritual solutions to people’s spiritual problems. Lots of people are ready to pay any amount to their pastors because they are looking for spiritual solutions.
Based on the concept of money not having conscience, we still see money go to good men just as well as they go to bad men. When good men create a “good” value system to solve a solution, money will also flow to them just like bad men will also create a solution to a problem. Let’s look at the case of a doctor and a black market(illegal) arms dealer. The doctor has a medical value that has medical solutions to people’s medical problems. So when people are sick, the doctor makes money from treating them. That’s an act we can consider good, hence, the reason we are calling the doctor a “good man”. While we refer to the black market(illegal) arms dealer a bad man, because he offers a solution to armed criminal’s problem by selling them arms(guns). But money doesn’t care, money will still flow towards him regardless. Money won’t come because you prayed for it or you think you deserve it, money will come because a value has been created by you.
It’s left for us to choose our path, based on our conscience and principles to know which path we are willing to follow in order of creating value to attract money.
