Are we living with Dollars and Cents?

Everything in this world seems to revolve around money. Never mind that sometimes people conjured up phrases like "love conquers all..." or "money is not everything...". It doesn't really matter, cause after all these feel-good statements are over, everything gets back to reality, and it seems to be dollars and cents again.

Thinking about it aloud, everybody seems to be demanding for more to be added to their pockets, and in any possible way. Nobody seems to have enough, and nothing that cannot make money is tolerated. Every transaction has to be money oriented, money driven, and profit catered. Beyond this, anything else is rubbish and considered to be a time waster.

Who can bang his/her fist on the table and declare aloud that he/she is not materialistic? Face it... this world is materialistic to the core, everybody has some form of leaning towards some material (or status) possession. A good hefty sum, and a trash load of material goods provides that sense of "feel-good" security that most individuals yearn for.

So face is it! This world, that you and myself are living in, is a money oriented, materialistic society. It is the same almost everywhere in the world.

... unless of course ... you are not part of this world.
