How are money and time interrelated?
Question from the Internet:
“If time is money, does money make time?”
I do not think “money makes time,” but they are still interrelated, as they both belong to our inherent nature.
Our inherent nature is about fulfilling our constantly appearing, renewing, and intensifying, insatiable desires for self-fulfillment.
We experience life; we feel being alive through new desires awakening in us every moment, and all our thoughts, movements, decisions, aspirations, and actions are about fulfilling these self-serving, self-justifying, and self-realizing desires as soon as possible since we feel the lack of fulfillment in our desires as pain.
We feel time and space subjectively as a result of the gap and distance between our new desires appearing and the fulfillment of our desires. If we had the ability to immediately fulfill our desires the moment they appear — like in the mother’s womb, for example — we would not feel time or space since there would be no separation between the desired opening and the fulfillment of that desire.
Similarly, we invented money as a trading tool to facilitate the fulfillment of our desires, making it much easier to trade for and purchase what we feel we need.
The fact that this simple trading tool has become the actual object of desire, and we started to worship monetary wealth and the accumulation of money itself is already a further distortion of our egocentric, subjective, and exploitative nature. This is because we made ourselves believe that life is about accumulating wealth and status and control over others, which money can facilitate.
But we can make both time and money — both illusory concepts arising from our original nature we need to correct — obsolete if we rearrange our lives and the connections between us in a way that we create a “mother’s womb-like” society where everybody’s desires and needs are immediately fulfilled through a unique, totally selfless, and unconditional mutual integration and mutually complementing complementation, where each of us becomes like a healthy cell in a perfectly existing and most optimally operating single Human “super-organism.”
This state is not a utopia, mysticism, or a dream. This is exactly what nature’s laws and nature’s evolution expect us to achieve, and the natural system will not let us rest or survive until we come to such a “mother’s womb-like” human society consciously and purposefully through our own methodical efforts.
