Читать книгу The Hypocrisy Of Humanity And The Philosophies Of A Millennial - John Koen - Страница 7

The object that leads to greed and selfishness, yet we all need it to live our lives. Money does make us greedy when we have lots of it or little of it, we try to save it for something important.

People close to you can be hypocritical for money, as when you’re young, they tell you not to spend your money and to save it for something big. Of course they want to protect you from making a huge financial mistake. They’re many scams out their that take your money for nothing and it hurts yourself, and you wish for all of the scams to parish and seize to exist. That can’t happen unless humans became extinct or if money was no longer our currency. I have been scammed before and lost money, but we all lose and gain money in our life, it’s just how it is.

I do not really like money because of its constant desire to have it, and when you have a lot, it’s not enough, and you want more. I would actually like to live for one day from thousands of years ago, where there was no money, there was trade. Like if you wanted to buy meat, you would trade chickens for the meat, or something like that. Of course, time has changed from then and we have currency that helps us.

There are countries with people that have no money because of where they live, mainly the African continent. We see it all the time on television asking for donations. I remember people telling me that there are kids in Africa that are starving when I don’t finish my food, and the smart ass that I am would usually tell them to pack up my food and send it Africa. Of course, by the time they pack it and ship it, it will spoil.

I usually don’t donate because you never really know for sure if it’s going to the place you’re believing it will, or as advertised. Even in temple, you still don’t know exactly what the money will be used for. Of course the thought of helping people is nice and noble, but sometimes you could be feeding people things that they shouldn’t take, like drugs or alcohol. Which brings me to the homeless, you never really understand why they’re homeless in the first place, maybe they got kicked out for not paying bills, they did something illegal, etc. you can give them money but again you don’t know their intentions, Sometimes you do. I live in Colorado and I noticed many homeless downtown having signs that say “need money for weed” which is funny but stupid, get a job and buy as much weed as you want, it’s legal in that state and many other states.

Some people may think that healthcare and schools should be free, but that would mean for everyones taxes to be raised high, which is not very democratic. Socialist and communist countries have that, but that means pay is low and the government takes most of your money.

People also try and find jobs that pay high so that they could make a decent living. Which if you have experience of that type of job, can make you a high income. Even though that takes time, if you are in your youth, you don’t really need to make lots of money, it will come, possibly. Educated people also believe that they should be making good money, but without experience is not so likely. I understand since I was like this, you just graduated college and you don’t want to work jobs that make minimum wage, which you should not have to, unless you have never had a job. Though you can’t expect to be making lots of money fresh out of college, it takes time.

Investments are a great way to make money, but could be a gamble. Whatever you’re investing in can fluctuate and you need patience and hope that one day it will go really high, which it could. Whether it’s real estate, stock, Bitcoin, etc. you could gain but lose as well.

People should also tip when giving gratuities, when you eat at a restaurant, get a drink at the bar, take a ride service from an app, etc. they are working too and don’t have a big salary, but primarily make tips. The fact that people don’t tip is disgraceful and somewhat offensive. Now I understand if the performance or service was bad, I would advise to tip low and maybe complain. Though when you tip them low and you know they don’t deserve it that low is a dickhead move. You have to think if you were in their shoes doing that job, some have and some will. The ones who tip low are either cheap or assholes, unless if the total was low. Now I don’t really tip fast food since they usually don’t serve you and I believe that’s ok, but you can if you want too. Just give it if you like it.

I love when people ask if there is any jobs that has “easy money” now there are but most are illegal. Selling drugs is the biggest one, it seems easy but is very risky and could put you in jail for a long time. Scamming could as well, but you have to be crafty and smart to fool gullible people, and they are everywhere, but you can still go to jail if caught. Being in the mafia is also very dangerous and could get you killed but technically makes easy money, the hardest part would be the tasks which include killing people and hurting them, but if you can handle that, then you can do it, though I would advise against it. Prostitution is very big business and is illegal in most states now, though there are many countries that it is legal, Las Vegas too even though that’s not a country. Gambling would not necessarily be illegal unless if you’re under 21 but apparently winning a lot is illegal for some reason, mainly for casinos going bankrupt because of one guy taking all of their money, but you need to know how to win. Hacking is the other thing, but you have to know how to do that. There are kids who know how to hack, which impresses me heavily. If you hack, be careful who you hack, they might get you.

I’ve heard many times that money can’t buy you everything, I actually believe it can. I would ask what can’t it buy? They would respond love and happiness. Actually money can buy happiness, just temporarily, sooner or later you’ll get used to having everything you want, or lose all of your money. Love can technically be bought, bitches be loving that money. Men and women love someone with money for that sense of security and the belief that they can have anything in the world, and they would love you for that. Dating costs money too, but is it really worth it, you’ll have to wait and see. You will need money to have a family since you have to pay to keep your kids when they are born. You will also need a house and a car, which you need good credit from spending money and paying them back on time, especially paying off any debts that you have as soon as possible.

Money will come and go, you will make some and lose some, just try to make it legally. I wanted to be a doctor or a lawyer for money, since it’s honest work with lots of money, just don’t make any big mistakes. If you’re money hungry, then you can work your ass off which is not really healthy but it’s possible just not comfortable. Invest if you can, just be careful it will fluctuate at times, just be patient. Don’t be so greedy, but save it so that you have enough for your future.
