Money, a mental slavery
Gone are those days when people with farm produce, animal produce, slaves etc. are regarded as wealthy people , even as at the time before money came into existence.
Before the advent of money, people still do transaction within one another, this means is called TRADE BY BARTER, a situation whereby goods are exchanged for goods such that it is measured based on the agreed measurements for certain quantity. Goods that are exchanged are what one side lacks while the other has and vice versa. People, in the olden days, were very hardworking so as to be able to meet up for exchange.
Talking about money, money is regarded as what is used to determine the worth of certain quantity of produce no matter what the produce may be among the people. Money was made so that people in a certain community and beyond can be able to access the available goods for their consumption. Being money, it has specific types and that are registered by the authorities of each communities. Money, over the years has become the need of the people because it is the only legit means to access goods and services in the world.
Now, the challenges; in the olden days, many in pursuit of money had forsaken their means of livelihood purposely because of their intense believe in the power of money. This , gradually cause the people to be so weak and lazy in terms productivity because all they believe In is money. Many wealthy people of then became slaves to those with money because of what they were made to believe. Everyone was made to be such that longs for money to be in their possession and this as a gradual process is killing the rate of productivity of the country and without people knowing that there was and is still continuous growth in population.
Many, in the process became rich because of how they were able to manipulate the minds of those with resources to suit their PULSE and many because of what they were made to believe (power of money) had become less privileged in terms of their well-being.
Now, some people were and are still getting richer and wealthier while some were and are still poor and and always lacking the needs of man because the people at the loose ends were put in to MENTAL SLAVERY!
Is money the cause of the problem? Not at all but the believe that it can solve all problems is the problem here. Imagine a man that can make enough production in his farmland for his family and can still make exchange for other produce abandoning his duty as a producer to make exchange for money and now becomes dependent on what he believes can solve all problems. he,again will go back to the market to purchase what he had made exchange for with the money had received earlier on from the other parties and what he will purchase will be lesser than what he had exchange for in the beginning. He will suffer the consequences because he has chosen to become a slave to money!
