Do you ever
wonder why money is so powerful? People end lives because of money. Wars have
been fought for money. People are displaced of their homes and innocent
children become orphans. Under the influence of money, people marry others they
don’t love. People even birth offspring they don’t care about, just because
money influenced the decision. Many, if not all human endeavours are driven by
money.
How did money
come into being and how did it evolve to become so powerful? They say, money is
blood. This aphorism denotes money to be equal to life and vice versa. So they
ask, what is life without money? One prevailing narrative in modernity is that,
the ultimate goal of life is to accumulate wealth, with money being its unit.
Money makes the world as we know it now to go round. However, people who lived
before us, when this earth was in its nascency, may not necessarily agree with
this construct. My thoughts are that before money assumed omnipotence, it was
just another item like say a smartphone or any other item that we can do
without.
