I am mindful of the scripture "thou should not bow down before any images of me"!
Today we idolize anything from humans or as I am always mindful "money". It is true that we need money. I have been reminded that money can cure many evils, but cannot stop death. It can prolong death but not stop it. Money can make life more interesting and meaningful since with it one does not have to worry about your next meal or how you will pay the bills.
So yes, it can relieve some stress from everyday living. But we have seen time and time again happiness comes from within, so people who have it all sometimes live depressed life's. It’s nice to have a balance, if you’re privileged to have money.
I have never idolized humans (as in Stars) nor have I idolized money. I have been lucky to know some fascinating humans and to have the money I needed to live a good life. Yes today we struggle with both. As you age money starts disappearing and so do people.
In order to be in the main stream and the "A" list as they call it, you need money, visibility, beauty! All of which come between the ages of 25-45!
And so if you did something’s right by age 50 you have made a few good friends, saved a little so that there is no need to idolize either money or humans to have a good fulfilling live!
