Brother, Can You Spare a Dollar
Ahhh,...money, "the root of all evil" and the ultimate goal that many strive for at all costs. Some people view their own self-worthiness by the number of digits that they keep stored at some financial institution. It does, in fact, allow us to conduct business in a much simpler way. No longer must we trade a fish for cotton or a bushel of corn for hides. It is much easier to carry a plastic card than a wagon load of foodstuffs for exchanges. And while we live in a society that seems to require its use, the mere mention of it can lead to a great many human downfalls. People believe that it buys dreams, and it may help one towards fulfilling a dream...but even a poor man can realize his dreams. It is the stuff that, if not used wisely, corrupts ones morals, can break up relationships and even mortally wound our fellow man. But it's very important to remember that it is simply a means of barter and we should make sure that we are the master and not the slave!
