Money is a power dynamic

[unnormal9]

You either have it or you don't.

I used to think money doesn't fix anything, money won't make me happy and I'd still be suicidal and traumatized. I only thought that because I grown up with money and I didn't need to worry about money even as an adult. having convos with people who didn't have money made me realize I'd rather have money and be depressed than not have money and still be depressed lol money is important and does give you a lot of power. it can make your most miserable moments comfortable.

It absolutely fixes not anything, but everything. Without it, I am powerless otherwise.

For me, it means being able to create things for others to enjoy. Is that a bad thing?

it's what you do with it tbh. a lot of people who are early 20s like me do nothing with their money. me included. we just waste it on dumb shit and therapy that doesn't work. money can't fix trauma or PTSD but it can distract you from it and if you are someone who want to do good things with money like you mentioned. it's a useful tool to have it.

Yes—I absolutely loathe seeing those with it use it on materialistic things like cars or luxury items; when it could go towards creating something great for others to enjoy, to create my own niche community, to have others experience it.
A disabled person in this world cannot do that.

It's better to unveil it.

You either have it or you don't.

Nah, that's more appropriate when it comes to looks, good genetics and being healthy. That's what you can definitely not change.

Yes I think the same, at least with money you can distract yourself, travel and wake up in different places, do activities ecc.
Without it where is the chance. And the hope scares me to prolong suffering without taking action.

you'll get bored of it eventually.
It just becomes normal to you that you can travel anywhere and buy basically anything. Then it doesnt even work as an distraction anymore.

Yeah I agree, but at least is better than getting stuck with no money at all. And I could afford therapies too.

Yeah- it certainly makes things easier in life I think. Having said that though- there are rags to riches stories out there. People who came from very difficult and poor backgrounds but went on to make it in life. Some people have incredible determination and incredible talent... of course- that's a bit of a lottery as well- according to what genes you got blessed/cursed with.

In my circumstances- yes- a whole load of money would perhaps make me hang on for longer. It's the uncertainty of my future and having to try and get a wage slave job again that is REALLY troubling me at the moment. Money is a real problem when you don't have it.

Still- like other people have said- it doesn't fix everything for everyone. Some health problems and past traumas simply can't be fixed. Quite regularly- someone will post something along the lines of- would you still kill yourself after a lottery win? There are a lot of people here who claim they still would- that money wouldn't fix their problems.

I know what you mean though. Asides from our biological differences, it has to be the major thing in society that makes everything so unfairly unequal.

Not for everyone, but for me it does.

If you use it on luxury items and materialistic things, of course you would—I certainly would, but that is not the case here. It is not to be used as a distraction but to pay people their salary essentially.

That is right. I want to be able to create one last thing, understanding the difficulty in ctb.
