Re: Motivation
The act of pursuing money could be construed as a means to
substantiate the basic needs. If the needs are not satisfied, people
will not be able to embrace a life of higher level. Money, though
seems shallow, can be seen as a stepping-stone leading to a more
advanced life. It is out of question the only way that can get you
to the top of the pyramid. The house and other stuff, though not
appear in the form of cash, fall to the category of properties,
which are possibly vital to humans. Only with the living conditions
be satisfied can people have the capability and time to ask for more
things spiritual. The poor, by conrast, are less capable of presenting
the pursue purely metaphysically. Most of them share same motivation to
sustain their life by earning money. So it is not totally about
materialism, I guess, because once deprived of the right to survive,
humans will become irrational and the order chaotic. By that time,
things will start to unravel, revealing the fragile structure on
which human's society is built.
So, I guess my point is that the motive of pursuing money is not
totally superficial. For one thing we need resources to base our
living. For another, sufficient backup can ensure our exploration to
trasendent world is safeguarded.
