The Money Wheel

Every since the money wheel started turning, the polemic issues that surround it have not stopped, its moral considerations, its impact on people, its influence on interpersonal relations, or its integrating effects in the economy. What there is no doubt about is that the complex world of today is unthinkable without a means of circulation, and is doubted that without it the economy of the countries would have reached the development we have. As an individual mercantile product, money is always the property of somebody. As inconsistent material it should satisfy itself pointing towards something that is outside of him. If money had a life of its own, we could describe it as an animal that is in constant search of an owner and of objects or services in which to metamorphose itself in, on the look out for a proprietor and of a sense of life. But money does not have that life; the person that has it becomes its possessor, and it is he, definitely, who should look for sense for his money. Money can be defined in a simple way as a symbolic means of value that allows us to facilitate the exchange of goods and services. But actually it is much more than that. The value of money is much greater than what is written in a bill or a coin. Money allows us to do things that cannot be bought with it. It is one of the means that man has to come into contact with the abundance of the universe, and at the same time, it teaches us how to deal with it. It is the vehicle that transports us towards abundance. Money symbolizes the fruit of human effort. Money is the energy that can be used by people to develop as integral human beings, sharing with those who surround us, and above all to give freedom.
