Money is the solution to all your problems. If only you had a million dollars - life would be bearable, interesting, enjoyable, maybe exhilarating. With every waking breadth you concede money, money, money is the answer to your prayers. Well is it?

As the concept of money evolved over the millennia - substituting agreements of value for things - money became a substitute for power. The words: "money", "power", "property" have evolved as a series of surrogates: with power the primordial desire, and survival in a material world the paramount quest. Things, objects - property, possessions - became proxy for power. Over time money became a proxy for things. The desire for power springs from a natural instinct to stabilize an unstable existence. Money has come to represent what we covet most - power. Money is power!

After the need to survive the most pervasive force in the human psyche is the drive to gain power. We want to be in control, we want to be in charge - we want to be powerful. So by securing prosperity for yourself and your kin, you aren't looking for money. You really aren't looking for tangible things; you are seeking power. But to what end?
