Foolish
Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat money. ~Cree Proverb~

Great day!
I hope this post finds you well.
If not, stop what you are doing and smile! You may feel strange, but try it!
Rather than fighting against all of the things that are wrong, would it be easier to fight for the things that are right? There is so much wrong in the world and so many see these wrongs as not a problem. When, for the vast majority they are or they would be had they experienced them.
At what point does a person’s consciousness come into play when money is involved? Is there a dollar limit?
I’ve never understood a person who would shirk their values for money. I’ve never understood a person who let money take them away from who they are. It’s a horrible disease. I have seen families torn apart by money. And the things some will do for money is beyond imagination for most. Something NO ONE is taking with them when they die, yet people fight their entire lives for it only to die miserable or with regrets for how they let money rule their lives.
I’ve always understood money and value and use and service differently than most, I feel like. I can’t really put it to being raised this way, as no one in my family feels the same. It’s difficult most days being so differently opinionated, and many times in my life, I’ve gone along with the flow to maintain peace amongst the majority. But when do I get to live?
A world where we are free to be free is where I want to be.
Relatable Poetry:
They always looked at me funny.
Cause I never really cared for money.
Don’t have much — must be a dummy.
But all that I need comes from up above me.
Joke’s on me no, joke’s on you.
They’re the Ones that get me through.
Turned my dark skies new shades of blue.
Reminding me I’m not money’s fool.
