So true again, @chbartist! I hope I'm allowed to add a little something.
Even if you're not "chasing after money" like you say, even then we are all trading time for money. Nothing on this planet is scarce: we produce enough food for more than 12 billion people, still we have a system that is unable to feed the 7.5 billion people that exist. In capitalism something must be scarce before it can make money, so we destroy all the extra food, just to keep food scarce enough for it to make a buck. Same with almost all other things we produce: here in Europe all countries have countless empty buildings, but we all also have countless homeless people. This is the paradox we all live right now. Abundance against scarcity.
The only thing in our lives that is really scarce, is time, and that is why "time is money" is true in this economy. The reason so many people are "chasing after money" is because the only way to beat this rule, is to be fast, faster than everybody else and everybody else is your opponent in this rat-race.
It's up to each of us to find our own balance between selling our time for material wealth and taking the time to create peace of mind. But we must also not forget that the system of "free market trading" is forcing us to skimp on the peace of mind and race harder to even stay alive or have a roof over your head or send your children to school.
This is ultimately why I love all your latest posts: we really do need guidance, a clear and articulate voice that reminds us of all the other and often more important goals in life... You're a rat-race-antidote and a peace-promotor, and I (we) love that! :-)
I always appreciate your input... cheers
