Your right, money makes the world go around..money is an intresting device...it quickens trade...the acelerated economy has brought many great things, such as technology and an easier life...everything we have that is more efficient then what it replaced is good...it makes for maximization of our resouces and such...

..but what spins the world the way we do not like, is greed...money has no emotions, no sentinet though or such...money is good because it is far more efficient then barter...what is bad is the hearts and thoughts of man...what is bad is the desire to control and dominate others, what is bad is a false sense of power...nore money, but this false beastial nature we call human...

you are about to take an anchient pilosophies course no...

...will more then likely study the heirchy of being from aristotle which looks something like this:

-Human Logic
-Animal instinct(the non logical beasts of the world that have senses)
-a certain level of life, such as being able to grow and resportate like a plant at the lowest level
-and substance like a rock...

now as humans we have all of these on the list...from logic to substance, and as you go down the chain each one under...

..to be a properly functioning being you must let your highest level on the list govern the rest of your atributes...

...thus when we give into urges that are less then logical, we are no longer a properly functioning beings...but faltering ones...
