The Little Things

Posted on 11/07/202410/07/2024 by Daniel

I heard long ago that if everything had to be paid for, nothing would be affordable. So we do not pay grandparents for looking after the children, or mothers and fathers for having children. We do not pay people for the free time they give to communities seen especially in the way people came together to help the vulnerable during Covid-19. We do not pay people to encourage, applaud and we have hosts of volunteers who rescue people at sea and on land gi9ving up their time to be of service, and sometimes giving up their lives for others.

The money system is a shallow, meaningless charade that limits and restricts humanity, not liberates it. Liberation comes in doing what we know to be good for others. And in what we volunteer to do, we become the true mechanism that keeps society going.
