What is most important in life, love or money?
You’re sitting in the 5am darkness of your living room. The baby in your arms shifts and you’re afraid she might wake. It's hot, but you wouldn’t dare remove the blankets covering her body for fear you might wake her.
It seems impossible you could admire anyone mor. Then, you hear the gentle snore of your exhausted wife creep from the gently cracked bedroom door. (As a man) You can only imagine what pain she went through to bring this precious girl in your arms now.
Your watch lights up. You dread the sight of that little alarm bell icon above the time 5:25 and a weight falls on you like a million tiny pieces of lead.
If only you had more time.
You wish you could take your baby girl with you. That way you would have all the time in the day with her and your wife could be left to rest.
You need to work.
You get up as gently as you can. Even so, baby girl shifts in your arms. Her eyes open slightly. The thought of returning a crying baby to your exhausted wife is distressing, it's just not fair. Baby girl shifts again, her eyes open long enough to spot you in the faint glow of morning twilight and she smiles.
You hold your breath. The smile remains on baby girl’s face but her eyes close and her head collapses into your chest. You return your baby to her mother’s side and admire the two of them in their slumber.
You need to work.
Nothing could ever go wrong with that house so long as you work to keep its walls strong. One day, when you’re truly needed perhaps you’ll have the money saved up to take the desired time off.
In the absence of the love you share for your family. In the absence of the love others have for you, money loses some value.
What is most important in Life? Love or Money?
If we equate money for what it is, the residue of time, we cannot divorce Love from Money.
It’s important to understand that Money won’t buy you Love and Love should never be exchanged for Money but, Time cultivates Love.
These are some key things to keep in mind:
-Life without love is Suffocation
-Life without money is stress and despair, if anything because you lack the time for anything
-Families are cultivated and grown with love and protected with money.
-Money is the residue of time. Whether its fiat or bitcoin it exchanges days, hours, minutes, or seconds. What could you do instead of work if you had the money?
