Nature Vs Money
Interesting insight today. That the battle lines are being drawn
and yet the adversaries remain shrouded in darkness and confusion. No nature is not all good and no money is not all bad, just perhaps the love of it, money, above ? ones fellow human or a sustainable environment? Yes the love of money above ones fellow beings and a sustainable environment, that might be said to be the root of all or most evil, but in a condition of dynamic and perpetual change we often lose sight of this and we often make choices that reflect poorly on the understanding of this.
We are creatures of habit and addiction and as such we often make poor choices in terms of how we spend our time, moneys, energy and love. It is difficult even after decades to find a mutual balance. Difficult too when popularity and celebrity and success and material gain are the yardsticks by which the value of our lives are measured against by ourselves and society as a whole. No again, it is not all bad and it is difficult in the global perspective not to harden ourselves against the plights of those around us and we are drawn like moths to the light of transient human glories and gain.
Christ was not rich, not in the human sense. In the spiritual sense maybe but what of it, he died like the thief and murder at his sides. Yet he perhaps measured himself on his own or another kind of yardstick. Natures yardstick perhaps?
Natures yardstick, now what would that be? What is the value of an icy glacier, or a rose in bloom, or the scent of lilac on the wind? 10 million? Priceless?
Not sure what I'm saying here mostly a lot of nothing I suppose.
Nature vs Money. Somedays perhaps money dominates some years nature.
Money is short term mostly, and nature like the truth, in it for the long haul.

made on the Your Logic Log of today, I am sure are applicable here too. Can only speed read your words, more stolen time for me. This is all good stuff Swanny, up the right garden path I would say. Wish others would put their paw prints here too. Or are they working on stolen time too?
