Reasons why I believe no human should have to work for money

Imagine a world in which we all were able to wake up in a comfortable and clean home, have a refrigerator full of food, spend as much time with our family as we’d like, and fill our days with entertainment at no cost. That world SHOULD exist but it does not because of one thing, THE MONEY SYSTEM.

Have you ever thought “WHY do we work?” Have you ever thought “WHY do we ‘need’ money?” The answer is simple, at some point in history some person decided that they would create the currency system as a way to establish order, exchange goods, and create international economies.

When you really think about it, the only reason that one individual may have more money than someone else is only because they have found ways to make THE MONEY SYSTEM work for them. For example, poor people are only poor because of lack of knowledge. I proved this to myself because I increased my income just by gaining new skills and putting them to use. Its really that simple.

Despite knowing this, it is still baffling to me how so many people place their value in the amount of money they make. That is like a chef bragging about his cooking skills to people who cant cook. All he did was found a winning recipe, practiced the techniques, & repeated the process for new recipes.

I say all of this to say that THE MONEY SYSTEM controls ALOT in our everyday lives. It controls how we think, it controls who we date, it controls who we are friends with, it controls politics, etc.

If we were to take away the money system and just tell everyone “You can live anywhere you want, buy anything you want, and you never have to work again. Its all FREE! Just enjoy your life and be nice to each other”, we’d have a much better world.

Millions of people will immediately be relieved of loads of stress, fake relationships kept only for politics, jobs they hate, etc.

I know there are some people who may think that people should “earn” a living or “earn” luxury but my question is why?

Why should a human being have to earn food in the refrigerator?

Why should a human being have to earn a clean and safe place to live?

Why are there ANY homeless people in the United States when there are billions of dollars circulating monthly?

Its ridiculous! Like who created this rule? Who decided to be GOD and say that I have to leave my child to go work for a dollar in order to feed him.

To ask a mother to leave her child so that she can work for a dollar is absolutely disgusting. A mother’s greatest job is to nurture her children.

This MONEY SYSTEM needs to die away and we need to create a new world. We need to create a new world in which the governments are not out to control people like puppets. The government works for us! We are the people who should have a say so in how the world is ran. The problem is that because of THE MONEY SYSTEM, most people will never speak up louder than their neighbor because they fear what….. they will lose MONEY if they are fired or if they lose supporters etc. Most people have probably never even thought of these ideas so I’ll give this point a break.

I believe crime rate will go down tremendously as well. Think about it, most people commit crimes because of what…..MONEY.

Another thing to think about is all the jobs people would quit if the money system was removed, what would we do about that? To this I say that no job will go undone. There are people who will volunteer to do work out of love for the work or the company. There are people who like working but it would feel so much better if they were not REQUIRED to work and they could choose their own schedule. While we are on this topic, I do want to point out that we need to get rid of this “40 hours a week” idea. I think that is so stupid to say that so many jobs are effective in the same amount of hours per week. I can personally say that it is dreadfully boring to work somewhere in which my workload is truly 2 hours but I'm forced to stay for 8 hours because of what, THE MONEY SYSTEM.

The last point I will touch on is the idea that we NEED an economy to survive. No we don't. That's a statement created to sell that idea to the world. Every human in this world regardless of race, ethnicity, and background strives to do two things, love their family and take care of themselves. If we all could wake up everyday and do just that, I know the world would be a much better place.
