Hard to make money these days, BUT..

Dear friends.. money is an illusion after all. But we all need it. Money gives the values of the things we need, places we go, etc. I've noticed that real people, with real capabilities and aptitudes still struggle for money, while others who lack value but have very pragmatic skills and step over decency, seem to find their way. Also we are stolen our rights to earn our living every minute, every day by these big companies and industries who fake it, dear people. The financial system is fake somehow. I'm giving you an example: recently i watched a webinar about Instagram marketing and among other kind of information, i found out that actually the quest for this kind of fame, notoriety and influence is HIGH. There are people willing to pay to gain this type of 'efemeral' influence, from hundread to thousands to tens of thousands of dollars. Can you imagine? Do you know that if we were not acting from this selfishness and lack of self worth - that's why we need the world to confirm we are important - we could actually save stuff. Animal from being killed for example? We could engage in real fights for a better world dear people. Solve bit by bit the hunger in the world and do REAL things and have a life, not just pose into something that people expect from us, forgetting to be real and actually not being valuable at all for the world. What do you think?
About the BUT in the Title, i think that as long as we are true, giving our best and following our passions, we are on the right track. We should always pray for having as much as we need.
Give me your opinions on this, dear friends!

People want to be rich and famous, places like YouTube and instagram make that possible. Not everyone makes it there, especially on instagram. I actually didn’t even know you get paid, I found this out about a month ago.
People want money because they want the ability to get whatever they want. Greed is what both makes a business successful, but also makes it corrupts. That isn’t the same with everyone, not everyone is corrupt, but all of them are looking for money to use for something (not always themselves)
Nobody wants to be poor, some are content with it (usually because they are used to it, and don’t know how to live any other way, but if given the choice most of them would want money.
There are a pretty good amount of people who worked for nonprofits and wound up being charged with (and normally convicted of) embezzlement. It’s even easier with charities, there is no set amount, what you earn fluctuates. With this knowledge a lot of people will start taking some donations for themselves. People only get caught when they get too greedy or make a big mistake (like stealing the money in front of someone)

Money is more of a tool so we can eat, dress, and have a roof under our heads. But the real value of life depends. It is subjective since we all have different opinions.

Hello and welcome to myLot, this is a good discussion to start with. I wish money was more fairly distributed because some have too much and others not enough.
