MONEY STRANGLES IMAGINATION

Money is a measure. It is a quantity and today it has become a means of power, influence and control. In contrast the human being has huge potential qualities. Many of these are unquantifiable. Art and creativity are basic expressions of young children. The human soul is infinite in its imagination potential. Unfortunately, money and the obsession with money strangles the soul. Instead of thinking freely and creatively, we have narrow minds and become more and more quantitative and competitive. This leads to rigid minds and moves us away from lateral thinking. Increasingly, it divides genuine scholars and artists from rich people and financial resources. The worst manifestation of a monetary soul is that it becomes so obsessed by greed, power and control that it itself becomes controlled by money. This is when imagination dies and the soul commits suicide.
