Why does this world have to run on money

[jisatsu88]

Money is everything, without money one can only be so happy. Money can buy happiness only for some people and the people who say that like it applies for everyone have no idea how privileged they are. There is so much damn suffering in this world and it is inevitable to suffer.

Do you think it is fair to take someone else's time and effort without paying back ? The answer is no
The great question would be about the unfair competition

It was always like that, and with always I mean even before the homo sapiens. You always had to contribute to your group or everybody dies. If things weren't like that humans wouldn't even exist in the first place.

Money is just an abstraction: this piece of paper worth the effort of my contributions to the well being of society, no matter what or how I did, this paper proves I did it.

But the current problem isn't the money, is the disastrous proportions it took, people owing more than billions of humans together.

I bet if things were fair you wouldn't struggle to find a job, you could work just a few hours a day and maybe not even every day.

The modern world made work unbearable, a truly soft slavery, but it doesn't need to be like that.

So in the end it's not just about the money, it's the whole system behind it that is broken and need to be changed.

I totally agree. I'm tired of this society where your worth is equivalent to a number on a bank statement. We pay for things that nobody should own or at least people should all have access to because they ensure survival. All these companies make bullshit plastic products that are coated in poison so they can get richer and we can get sicker. Like the cost of healthcare.
That should not be a sentence. If you have the money you can pay to stay but no insurance? Good luck. Math is genius and everything, but I believe numbers and counting make life miserable.

The sad truth is that every life, in order to keep surviving, constantly needs food, water, or something else. That's why money becomes a means of exchange.
If one wants to find happiness, there is much more than just basic water and food. However, the systems of distribution and organization are often flawed. existence can feel like an involuntary system of slavery.

You think it's privileged that I don't put a price on people to get life saving medication and a justice system that will allow the worst people go free because they are wealthy (like the Epstein class for example) yet will

lock away drug users because they are low income. You're the one who's.sounding privileged and superficial as fuck that happiness has a.price tag for you and you think that is my normal.

Oops I did not mean to send this to you but my reply split into two comments. What you said makes sense and is the main issue for sure with my frustration with this subject
