Of course, then there's the question of whether you want your entire life to center around making money so you can enjoy your life (that is centered around making money) to it's fullest. Food for thought.

It's just our planets system to live. Money is nothing but paper. People should be smarter, but obviously - they're not.

The money system got old long ago, but people aren't ready to leave the system and live normally without any greed.

For example:
People need to make a bridge from point A to point B. Without that bridge people will waist a lot of time to get from one place to another. We have the machines, technology, and smart, professional people to make that bridge. But we don't have the most important thing - money!

I can give you tons of other examples.
Medicine, technology, sport, studying is all about the damn paper nowadays.

Here's another thing I can give as an example:
Imagine some rich person alone on some kind of unknown island. He has only money in his hands, no knowledge of making shelter, getting something to eat etc.
Now lets take a person, who knows how to make a lot of different stuff, he knows some secerets about shelter and food. He could easily make everything in no time and it won't be any problem for that person.
Now think about who would have more profit.

But people aren't just ready for it. People prefer to be marionettes to smarter people. And the most horrible thing is that the stupidest people, even pshycos, have that paper concentrated around them. Because of money people get much more greedy, people are ready to kill for money... And they do.

Now lets think that money wouldn't be more than just paper, nobody would even try to commit a crime, not even mentioning about thinking about it. There wouldn't even be any crime. If only people weren't so greedy. But it will take about 500 years for people to leave the greed. Or, perhaps, that would never happen.

But anyways, the thing I'm trying to say is - people got blind. They don't know what real freedom is. They're nothing, but slaves.
