Thought 3: Truthfulness and Money


The truthfulness of money
stems from the fact
everyone needs it.

And everyone needs
it because everyone
trusts it do determine
their material possibilities.

Indeed, money is a condition
of social and technological
access and inclusion.

Why money is
indispensable:
it is the only
social glue
because
solidarity
between
human beings
is very limited
due to the fact
that one's heaven
is another's hell,
the human condition
 being purgatorial
plurality.

Money is deceit
that has trust in
its favour: it is
genuine credit
and as such is
quantified
power because
it makes others
do what they
would not
otherwise
do.

We all need
money and need
to spend it wisely
because we all 
need to hold
on to our power
in a purgatorial
universe where
we all strive
for heaven
and yet
no one is free
to go to hell.

Ultimately,
money is
a system
of cruelty
that favours
human parasites,
including me.
