i started writing this to talk about a point that i was wondering about.
it is unfortunately/fortunately, about money(depending on your interests now you may like either so i shall abstain from choosing for you).
(go on. strike one option out)
so we stand before the notsofashionable entrance of the rabbit hole.
shall we go take a look? a little adventure maybe.
money.
i think money is really a funny thing(okay. maybe not literally laughably so).
it evolved(shells->metals->paper-> well a number on a screen) to something we can't live without.
yet most of the time(sometimes it makes things easier for you. but in turn someone else gets the problem) its just one big inconvenience.

for those who don't have it(i'm not saying i don't). well. they spend alot of their time looking for it (and by looking i mean working of course. not staring at the floor hoping to find some).
trying many means and ways(not all of them orthodox) to obtain it. inconveniencing themselves time and again(what were they thinking).
and its one big obstacle between them and the things they want or need. well. the price tag is.

for those who do(i'm not saying i do either). they spend alot of their time too. to protect it. inconveniencing themselves to. and many times the irony is that they give up money to protect money.
funny huh(i'm not saying that insurance is stupid, its just funny).
and well. they too spend most of their remainder time looking(again. not staring) for more of it.
this makes avarice appear innate. its like a natural instinct for greed and selfishness(this sounds foreboding. bear with me.). maybe it used to be useful when it was the survival of the fittest in the jungle(or yours might be more of the desert dwellers. or even caves). but right now. its just being another big inconvenience that we failed to evolve away. unfortunately the not selfish people didn't live long enough to tell the tale.

yup. so money is funny(maybe even abit on the comical side). see. it even rhymes. which makes it sound so much righter than it actually is(in actual fact. i've no idea why i just wrote that).

okay lets ignore the previous paragraph(i am contemplating deleting it) and get back to the point.
i wonder if we could ever delete money(like mouse left click drag and highlight all. hit the DEL button delete) and continue without it.
then again common sense would lead me to think that impossible(fortunately for me i don't have much of that elusive stuff so i shall wander around).
it would save(in my opinion at least) lots of administrative things(banks would disappear altogether! how cool is that.).
which would of course destroy many jobs and throw many into poverty and wreck the economy and blahblahblah(sounds pretty forlorn too).
so yup. we can't(i guess i do have abit more common sense than i thought. arriving at this conclusion without intending to).
i suspect that at this point you're getting pretty lost around the rabbit hole already(if you're still extremely clear on the way back out please do not hesitate to lead on).
so i shan't say much more.

lastly(yes i mean it.)
its a humble request.
please do come forward if you remember the way out.

please?
