ABELLA Fri, 25 Aug 2006 02:10:23 +0000 http://christinekane.com/?p=7#comment-1590 I think having a relationship with money is akin to the very essence of what life is all about. Remember that even the Bible says that "money answers everthing" in other words having a relationship with money means that one must have a strict discipline in how to deal with it. It means being frugal, resourcefull and hard working. I believe our relationship with money stems back in the stone age period where our ancestors in the beginning use barter systems in transacting their day to day business activities. A farmer goes to the market to barter a chicken for a pound of grain but since doing this kind of activity is too bulky they deviced a way that let us say a farmer buys a fish, he instead issues a receipt that a monetary value equivalent to the fish will be given to the seller, hence that receipt later on became the very essence of what is called money. It is therefore common among the medieval age that men regard money as receipt and receipt as money. Our relationship with money therefore is built on trust and confidentiality. If I trust a person regarding his ability to deliver to me twenty Mercedez Benz cars, I can advance my payment on him built on trust. China is using this very principle when they say " Glass, China and reputation once broken is never well mended." I think this is a very classic example why China is turning to be a business partner of the world. I think we can build a good relationship with money once we begin to realize that money is something having an intangible value attached to it. It means that money in itself is really nothing more that a piece of paper with some pictures of long dead persons but having the capacity to exchange greater or equal values attached to it. It can finance the construction of mansion houses, bridges and palaces, just imagine what money can do. Similarly even in times of conflict or war, the supreme commander of the great army must ask this basic question before going to war, how much will it cost me to start a war? since he needs horses, tanks, airplanes, submarines and guns and definitely it will cost millions or even billions of dollars. The american citizens are spending 200 billions of dollars a year just to finance the war in Iraq. Where do we stand now in this third millenium regarding our relationship with money? Is it for better or for worse? The messiah has already echoed that the idea of just making money in this world is no longer applicable. I believe it is the realization that providing quality of goods and services to the world coupled with trust in our business dealings makes our relationshp specially with money smooth and dependable. It is the realization that first we must be the seeker and acquisitioner of money then finally providing help to our lesser and unfortunate brothers of the world, for after all even King Solomon with all his wealth and Kingdoms pronounced to the world that "Life is vanity of vanity, all is vanity." The Bible tells us that life is just a mist that appears for a moment and then vanishes away. Life is too short for us not to be rich and abundant and life is also too short for us to be greedy for those who really need their help. Let us build a relationship with money in such a way that it will have a lasting and goodwill effect in our community and the world at large.
