DIRTY MONEY
Money has become in such a powerful thing these days, it comes to buy almost
everything with few exceptions. It buys from what you need to survive like water
and food to things you will never need, like a car made of gold. This way, money is
now giving people whatever they think reasonable to have and also some kind of
happiness or satisfaction. What could happen if people would not be able to afford
what they want? How was back then when there was no money? Some people
would do anything what it is necessary to have what they want, and things turn to
be worse every time,consciousness, bodies and souls are what cost more today.
However, life has not always been like that, you would think, but things go crazy
once you start reading and asking questions about everything. All those wars
which have been fought and chanted, all those have had economic and political
interests related to power. Even nowadays is known that wars are funded by some
of the richest people in this world. Either sides of the war could be supported by the
same person, also, it does not matter who die or not, neither the fighting itself, what
matter here is all the money and power which left as a consequence. How is it
possible then that our lives and fates are being sold to the best bidder. Love to
money and power has brought disgrace to mankind; love and happiness no longer
push people to keep moving and if they do it, money is not there making it
impossible to survive in this world.
Nevertheless, before money become so popular, people used to deal and
negotiate paying with simple objects which seemed precious or valuable to them.

Before capitalism and consumerism were imposed as a living style by big
corporation and evil means –hidden messages and propaganda-, people used to
enjoy their lives doing what they liked more, what made them happy. Even though
these days you should be aware that many of the things you want or like, have
been “suggested” to your mind in a way that you strongly believe that it is a real
though of your own, but actually huge and greedy corporations are telling you what
to think; they are putting thoughts in your mind without your permission. They are
even able to change the reality because they have control over Media asthe rock
star Jim Morrison said“Whoever controls the Media, controls the mind”. They tell
you what to like and how to be, you have to be aware of what is happening.
Despite the fact that money plays animportant role in our lives, it does not come to
be more important thanyourself, than your moral values, which are the ones that
define each person behavior.If youdecide to sell your honestyfor some dollars you
are not just selling your live but the others’.When you stop and analyze that kind of
deals, only few of the whole are being benefit from it.It does not worth the money
over all the consequences left behind by those dirty deals. When any kind of dirty
business crosses over your path you have the power to decide how you want your
life to be and how you want future to be for the others.It is time to make an
exception and take the power from money and gives it back to people!
