Money - Friend or Foe?

We live in a society were money means power. This is really scary to me. To think that the hands of a few control the many.....I have always hated money. Yeah, it is nice to have but in the long run all it has every done is cause problems. We think that money makes us happy but that is so false. It is people that make us happy - things that you cannot buy like love, friendship, warmth. These things cannot be bought. We think because we cannot due something because of money that our whole day is ruined - this is so false. There are so many things you can do that require no money. Go to the local library, the state museum, a local park, a shopping mall. You do not need to have money to have a good time. We have to stop thinking that money makes the world go round. Yes, I like to go out to eat occasionally but I don't HAVE to do this. Use the resources that are in your community. Spend sometime in nature. Go for a walk and enjoy what Mother Earth has given to us. Instead of thinking of all the things you don't have - think of the things that you do have. These are the things that memories are made of - not money.
