Money seeks to protect itself Money bribes the weak to get what it wants
The love of money is a weakness
The love of money is the root of all evil
The love of money is based on fear:
fear of being without something fear of being victimized
This fear leads us to take from others to victimize others
There is more than enough for everybody
There is never enough for any single person
Enough is as good as a feast
Too much is never enough
Money is a meme
It exists only in the abstract
Gold, coins, bills, these are only markers they are not money itself
Money is no more a physical object than the Constitution is a printed document
Money is an intellectual virus
It is no more/no less real than any other belief
That does not mean it is a true belief only that it is a belief that it exists in the realm of the imagination
Belief in the power of money is a religious belief: It is based on the faith that it really exists, that it can wield power in a realm beyond the physical
You can not serve both God and Mammon
The difference is this: God will build you up
Mammon will consume you
God will always do what is best for you
Money will always do what is best for it
God can't do anything else
Money can't do anything else
It's just in their respective natures
To love God is to love one another
To love money is to love the self
But money doesn't care about you
Money cares only about itself
There is no safety, there is no salvation in money
No one lives forever, at least not in this world
Money wants you to believe this world is all that there is
