The two biggest rascals in this world are the concept of time and money (currency). Both are man made. And these two are the worst enemies of man . With the growth of civilization man has created a number of methods, devices and traditions out of which money(currency)and time are the most notorious and obnoxious to him. Every man seems to be in the grip of these. I dream of the old golden days when people had no watch or clocks and no care for years, months , days, hours, minutes and seconds--they cared only for seasons, morning, day, evening and night. They had plenty of time to perform their jobs. But now people have created so many jobs divided by 24 hours that they are all the time under pressure to complete their tasks. The consequences are various diseases like b p, diabetes, anxiety, nervous breakdown, tension etc. Everyone is running short of time. People do not have time now. All are up and doing without being aware that the ultimate for them is the same as had been for their fathers and forefathers.
The next cause of worry for the humans is money(Currency). Throughout the world people are in mad race to earn money by hook or by crook to posssess the plethora of material objects displayed glamorously by the business world before them. In the past, when there was no currency, people used to be dependent on one another for their subsistence. All had a sense of eqality and the bonds of relationship were very strong. The farmer with skill of farming used to grow crops and would get, for instance, shoes from the persons who were skilled in making shoes, in exchange of grain. Both the farmer, and the cobbler, in this way,were dependent on each other. Similar was the case with other people too. This interdependence on the basis of skills was a great binding force in the society. But now, the person who has money (currency) is in possession of everything and can afford all the luxuries of the world and is known as big or great. The social parameters have changed. The person having currencey is head and shoulders above than others. Whereas the people,without currency ,in spite of having skills and ability, are treated as low, mean. Money makes the mare go in every sphere of life . It brings inequality among the humans. It dissociates, separates the individals. It breaks the bonds of human relationships. It causes frustration and rebellion among the people. Let there be no money (currency) and the concept of time to make this earth a beautiful place to live on. Minus money and minus time life is so beautiful!!
