The finer things are priceless.

If I were god, I'd probably change the basic design of human beings. To make them more appreciative of the finer things in life. And to downplay the role of money. Seems to me that the possession of money has become the overwhelming goal of the human endeavor. Yes, lots of money. It's addictive. One is never satisfied. If one becomes a millionaire, that's not enough. One has to become a billionaire. At the expense of people that really don't want to be monetarily rich. But they need money in order to survive. I'd like to make it such that they don't need money. To find a way for everyone to survive without money. Or with an amount that's far less than a fortune. Maybe that was god's orginal idea. In a place like the mythical Garden of Eden. Money had not yet been invented. There was no need for money. Maybe that was when evil was introduced into the world. With the invention of money. Presumably to buy the finer things in life. But seems to me the money bought mostly trouble. Really, the finer things in life are priceless. Such as a loving thought. --Jim Broede
