Money sees existence as the product of jobs, income, spending, investment and profits. The purpose of living is to increase earnings and consumption. Anything increasing the amount of money changing hands is considered good for society. Any activities that don't make money are luxuries that are expendable in tough times. Money believes well-being is maintained through the perpetual expansion of commercial activities.
Life offers a different perspective.
It suggests that nutrient cycles, sun shine, food chains and ecosystems make the world go around. Life overcomes time through seeds and the careful rearing of our young. Human relations are critical to our ability to work as societies and assure our mutual provision. Life suggests that relationships, the sharing of culture and appreciation of existence provide meaning. Illusion refers to the contradiction between these two views.
