Money runs the world. It's really hard to live without money (unless you live in a Nordic Welfare country, but that's the not the point of this topic). And that's a fact.
Money is a need. But it also has very dark origins which should make us evaluate how we should really use money.....
Ignorance is bliss and if you wish to remain ignorant about the dark origins money so can take pleasure in things you spend with it, I recommend you leave this thread now!
On a deeper level, we go way way back in history to find where the world's money originally came from.

The beginnings of profit / accumulation of wealth:
- Violent invasions which usually led to mass murders, massacre of an entire village or even nation - The strong and powerful stealing lands from the weak and using those lands to make lots of profit.
- The global slave trade of the past made lots of wealth through virtually free labor of slaves. Modern slavery still exists for the same reason (often, illegally, but protected by corrupt governments) - to make lots of profit /wealth
- So ask yourself, to whom those riches really belong to, and would it be to those the world took it from?
- The irony when the well off and rich look down on Blacks and Native Americans, criticizing them for feeding off welfare, when the money the rich behold ultimately came from profits made from the lands stolen from the Native Americans and the free labor of Blacks when they were once enslaved.
- Time and ignorance of the past does not erase wrongdoings. Wrongdoings are only erased by restoration and changing our ways. We cannot go on living like we have always did for it will destroy us all eventually.
