Of late I have been debating the idea of a world without money. In everybody’s life it has become so indispensable that we have lost sight of what life is truly all about. It has turned us thick and greedy, unwise and foolish. Money has become such a necessity to all of us to the point where humanity runs greedily along with it like the unsatiated sidekick. The clear distinction between the rich and the poor is a visible separation of the human race. The condescending, snobbish attitude of those holding money towards those without is a dismal projection of how money can change the very facet of human connections. Add to this the omnipresent corruption. The entire world is so corrupted, mean and selfish. What is at the dead centre of this corruption? - of course, money!
Without money nothing moves. We have become so involved in industrialization to mint money and it has convincingly raised the status quotient of people. Everything is a trade these days. Right from birth till death - education, marriage, housing, medicine, all involve the green bill. Gone are the days when we worked not for money, but to improve the society as a whole. We have advanced so much in technology but it all comes with a price.
So there I was mulling over the possibility of a world without money. In today’s living, it is essential. We need not be Neanderthals or vagabonds who had no roof above their heads. At the same time, we need not waste money on materialistic wants like cosmetics, clothes, jewellery and other forms of luxury. I do not understand why people flaunt their priceless clothes; unless for the mere sake of exhibitioning them to others. There are people, just like us, who do not even have the privilege of the basic necessities for living. There are such startling contrasts among people and it hits my conscience hard everytime I come across such truths.
I seriously wish for a money-free existence. Imagine the scope of peace and harmonious living that comes along with it. Why can’t everything in this world function without money. Why can’t there be free services to humanity? We can enrich international relations just by sharing our proficiencies without the factor called “money”. It needs to enter every human’s head that we do not live in this world just to multiply money, own houses, and rev up and down in cars. We are here to belong, to share and to help each other with what we have. Every human deserves respect and every other person who is down in wealth should be brought out of their misery. Everybody should live equal and money should not be an enticing aspect. I do not propose living like a sage, rather I propose living like how a human should live - with all that is absolutely necessary and will us away from being magically entranced into the world of money and materialism.
