Do you think "money" will cease controlling us??

You could go and give things away to whomever asks them, and in a way that is what the pagans did centuries ago when they buried their weapons and their goods with them. In essence they gave them to their idols. That meant that their heirs and their wives had to start afresh, make their own weapons and clothes and get their own seeds because what they would have inherited was in the burial ground. You could also get everyone together and distribute everything equally, but what happens if one is conscientious and makes more of what he got? Will not the result be that someone who was lazy demand that that man divy up the excess he made so everyone is equal again? That is wrong. You could go back to bartering, but that would mean in order to get something, you may have to load your van or truck with a matteress or whatever, and then maybe you want some furniture, you have to load the furniture in the van and what if it does not fit? So we really need money so that we do not have to carry or drive with a whole lot of stuff to exchange.

The only way that we will ever remove the greed for money is to eliminate it, just as you are suggesting. Of course in order to achieve this is to create sufficient resouirces for the whole planet so that there is no use for money. Considering the vast amount of poverty in existence today and the ever increasing world population, this would a seriously formidable task. We are finding it increasingly difficult to even maintain the standard of living at present, so improvements are rather unlikely in the current circumstances.

How I wish that we could get out of that system right now and just work and get what we need in our lives. But somehow money is the only working system that works for everybody right now and introducing a new system of exchange would be very hard since we are all used to using money as our means to exchange services and products.

We just can't live comfortably in this materistic world without money. Added with human greed money have become the yardstick of power and fame. Money is not everything, God is everything. Don't let money control us .

The only way to stop the love of money (which is the root of all evil, by the way) from controlling us is to wipe out human greed. I don't think that will happen any time soon and doubt that you could even wipe out greed. It would be really nice, though, if we could all work for the benefit of humanity, happily and unselfishly. But that would be denying human nature and I don't think it will happen for centuries, if we are even here that long.

Have to agree with dragon. and human greed might know no bounds. It isn't money, it will be power or other forces that make you higher and more powerful from the other. It can also be pride since it forces humans to differentiate from each other. As long as people find something to divide themselves, it's not gonna be easy.

hi, in our times money is really the center of everything,to survive and to have a good life,and i can not see in the future or just i don't feel that in the future money will cease controlling us,because people can not live without this unless money will no longer value.

Maybe in the future a century,no longer spending money,no longer have a national government,and people do not have the desire to fight the bitter end of the each person can have a director,all over heppiness.

This is a lovely idea and I believe it would lead to a better life, however as of now the minority have lots of money and the majority are trying to get some of that money. it ain't going to change real soon. The one scenario that I can see that will change that is some massive disaster that sends the human race back to the stone age - in effect starting over. There is a flaw to a money less society, Some commodity or skill will become valuable and highly prized making the minority "rich"
