The pursuit of wealth resembles a mental affliction. Money grants us access to nearly everything, including time and space. The relentless, insatiable hunger for it drives us to the brink of madness. It spawns various mental health issues, from anxiety disorders to paranoia. The fear of losing it turns us possessive, and we expend all our energy guarding it. Money holds us captive, and unfortunately, only a select few have a firm grip on it, thereby determining our destinies. Even saving the planet necessitates financial incentives; profit reigns supreme.

We are so fixated on this. People toil tirelessly for this abstract notion. From cradle to grave, from preschool to becoming a CEO, from pauper to prince, all share an innate desire to acquire it. We obsess over it, and every choice or inaction is influenced by this mighty force. When we step out of our personal bubbles and examine our collective actions, we realize it's a catastrophe. Everyone desires money, whether it's for buying a luxury car or feeding the needy. Regardless of the purpose, today, no conversation is complete without at least an indirect reference to money. What have we done to ourselves? We've become excessively reliant on the intangible grasp of money. Like captives, we cling to it and traverse great distances in its pursuit.

Can we, for a moment, envision a world devoid of money and finance? It has been one of the primary, if not the paramount, sources of our suffering. Like cogs in a machine, we continually clock in our time, relinquish our space, forfeit our freedoms, and suppress our original thoughts. This relentless competition has persisted for ages. Everything in our contemporary society revolves around this human-made concept, and it seems there's no way to halt it. Life offers more than just a chase or a race; it holds far greater fascination. Money stands as our collective insanity.
