○Money Society [2]

     In a money society, the insatiable desire of the ego makes more goods, sells more, continues to use natural resources, and increases waste. Economic growth is a repetition of this. Inversely proportional to economic growth, the natural environment continues to be destroyed.

    The money society that demands more and more strengthens the ego, and distances us from no-mind. Thus, morality and moderation fade.

    The society of money is a society of personal gains and losses, so the rules and regulations to protect individual interests increase and become complicated.

    Even if rules are increased in detail, there will be those who circumvent them, especially when it involves a desire for money.

    When you get used to a light-tasting meal, you can see how heavily seasoned the food in a monetary society is. Stimulation makes people addicted. Making people addicted makes money. It also increases the number of sick people. The ego is what becomes addicted.

    The society of money is a society where money is fought over. Therefore, winners and losers are born. This is why homeless people and low-income earners have continued to exist all over the world for hundreds of years. The society of money is not a system where everyone can live an average or above lifestyle, but a system that becomes unfair. It is a game where people who are good at making money win, a system where a handful of the super-rich monopolize money, and the vast majority of people become low-income earners.

    While the excessive concentration of a money society can efficiently generate profit, it has its weaknesses and becomes problematic when triggered by disasters. Examples include population concentration in cities, mass production in one place, income sources from one company, reliance on digital devices, and so forth. When a non-monetary society that does not pursue profit is built, a distributed society will be established in terms of population distribution, agriculture, and manufacturing.
