Money

He was not lavish, nor, on the contrary, avaricious; for, whenever he knew that money was needed for a noble, useful, or benevolent purpose, he supplied it quietly and sometimes anonymously.

He said no more, but taking the money turned away with a slow, uncertain step, and pressed his hand upon his head like a weary and dejected man

They say money can't buy love in this world,
but it'll get you a lot of cocaine and a twenty year old girl.
and a red convertible on a warm September night.
Well that may not be love, but it is all right.

--Randy Newman

The story of Indians selling Manhattan to the Dutch for a mere $24 worth of beads overlooks an more significant fact:

The tiny beads came in bulk, not on 'jewelry,' and were of uniform sizes and colors.

The Indians could now more easily and more quickly create beaded blankets and buckskins, which they sold back to the Dutch – in return for even more beads.

Thus both economies – Indian manufacturers and Dutch traders – flourished.

I find ths that things money can afford you, to do for others. Makes it a good thing. But to hoard it up and do nothing with it,Is sinful.And seeing it withheld from certain needy people is also sinful.Especially, when there is someone else with more than they can ever spend. this unfair distribution of wealth is digraceful.Our society is one in which everyone should be able to have what they need to live.This condition is one that faces the world family as a whole. It is so sad to see the peoples of other nations,starving to death when there are also other peoples who have more than they could possibly need.

This needs to be addressed by the United Nations Council. Instead of the wasteful pursuit of which country to go to war with. Our world needs world leaders.Those with a vision of how to better our world families, condition!

sincerely,

Anne

»Money and death are a potent cocktail,« she said, her hand moving toward her holster. I knew she always kept her gun loaded.
