What is the value of Money

Ever since Money is introduced, it has become the most "important" element that human perceived in today world. Money has the magic and power to turn a person to do whatever its take in order to get it. Therefore, it has been a very famous quote about money : " money is not everything, but without money, there are nothing!"

So what exactly this money is all about? Money by means, is just a medium of exchange. It represent certain "perceived" value by people to buy and sell goods. In the ancient time, people trade by simply exchange goods among them. It is called the system barter. There are no medium of exchange exist. The difficulty come, when they try to have a fair trade among people. Question such as how many eggs worth a chicken? Then, money is invented. Shell, gold, and silver are the first to introduced as money. Then revolution came, paper money are introduced to replace hard money, since the government think that it is much better off to print money freely then to be constrained by the limited supply of gold and silver. Years goes by, people has accustom to paper money. The mind framing has reinforced the money position in human mind. It become such a big impact to people life, which it become a new opium in new civilization. It become so emotional, that people will do "stuff" to keep it, and take it from others. The truth is, money has no value. It is just an idea of value, a deceptive perceived value by people. Money is just a piece of paper. A paper that could be turn into nothing as it is. The money has no intrinsic value nor a tangible value. What we want, is ins't the money, but the stuffs that money could buy. The real value is the foods, the cars, the cloths and the charities. Therefore, people should not being too emotional attached to the pseudo paper money, but be more more generous to bring out true value that money still can produce before its pseudo value started to be eaten away by many factors such as inflation, excessive cheap credits and irresponsible government policies.

So, money is just money, it is nothing but a piece of paper. We should be concentrate of preserving and bringing out a valuable contribution, innovation and invention for the holistic benefit of society and environment while it still can, rather than pursuing and giving up the real valuable assets (earth, mother nature, ethic, peace) for such paper money. However, sadly, as I speak, many are still giving up the true value to a pseudo value.
