Money & Wealth
resources, perception, privilege
Money—the root of all evil or the path to happiness? I would argue neither are true. Evil existed in many forms before the use of the 5000-year-old Mesopotamian Shekel, the earth’s first coin. The relationship between happiness and money is trickier to unpick, but at both ends of the spectrum, there is evidence against a blanket statement. Stories of enlightened souls who have renounced worldly possessions abound. As do tragic documentations of humanity’s suicidal. Being a millionaire does not protect you from this possibility. The pages herein attempt to demystify our collective beliefs and assumptions in favour of truth. Wealth, it would seem, is a currency traded not only in coin.
