COMFORTABLE FINANCE

Today, money buys us our needs and surpluses go to our comforts. The comforts lead us to more desirables, and the cycle begins to grow and expand. Finance becomes the extra cushions, whether it is through borrowings or profits or wealth. It removes us from the real world of nature - where nobody owns anything. Have you ever heard a bird saying I own a piece of the tree or the sky? For many forest dwellers, the concept of ownership of land is completely impossible and unthinkable. The aborigines were also against ownership of nature. So there is a cruel link between finance and legal rights which encourages the growth of the comfortable classes - and their increasing insecurity. The extra pillows actually make us more and more rest-less.
