Money: The Poison that Corroded Humanity’s Soul

The Origins of Money and the loss of Communial Trust. It’s impact on Human Relationships, Morals, and Society as a whole.

The origins of money can be traced back to ancient societies where trust-based exchange was a fundamental aspect of daily life. In these communities, sharing resources was not merely a social norm but a survival necessity. Individuals relied on one another for food, shelter, and safety, fostering deep interpersonal relationships built on mutual trust and responsibility.

However, as societies evolved and populations grew, the dynamics of exchange began to shift. The introduction of money transformed the social contract from one rooted in personal relationships to a more transactional framework. This transition allowed for greater efficiency in trade but also led to a gradual erosion of communal trust. As people began to view transactions through the lens of monetary value rather than human connection, the sense of responsibility towards one another diminished.

This shift has profound implications for our current society, where financial transactions often overshadow interpersonal relationships. Understanding this historical context highlights the importance of rebuilding trust within our communities and recognizing that true value extends beyond mere currency; it lies in the strength of our connections with one another.
