Money to me means everything because I never had it and probably won't have enough as to where I live comfortable and have that piece of mind. I know more money more problems but whatever it's gotta be better than this scrounging s**t!

To me money is material wealth. But saying that doesn't make sense now because money used to be backed by gold. It is not that way now. It is now backed by our belief in the system.
Why do we have to be selfish? Mmmm that's a toughie, in someways, short answer; we have a choice. The longer way to look at it is we have a choice but we think of ourselves or we don't think about the consquenses of what we do hard enough, we think short term ie: 1-5 years. We don't think, with common sense, we always use studies, we think that the next generation will be ok, that they will solve it.
Well if that next generation is in this system, well it's going to be hard because the earth is only so big.
We live at a time that is really starting to ask some important questions.
Always try to look and act in a positive way.
If you do ever have money try to give some to causes that will truly help others and if possible get involved in it too.
btw- please excuse my sign in name i will try to change it soon-

Ordinary paper money is fiat backed by nothing except trust that the government will accept it as payment for the taxes it levies on us. (Read the fine print on every one of our Federal Reserve Notes. That's what it means).
A certain amount of selfishness is necessary for survival. But in the end it is part of our human sinful nature. No one was born without that selfish human nature except Jesus Christ.

To people, money is the most basic thing required to survice because its tradable for many things. Go to a shop tomorrow and see if you can buy grocery with love...i bet you can't.
The world isn't perfect and we are not animals. That is why we need money to keep things in order. Its too late to go back to stone age.
Some people are selfish and hungry for money because they have lead a life with lack of money and they know its not fun.

money is a part of life that everyone has to deal with weather you have it or not if you have it you want more if you do not have it you are happy to have a little ...it brings food to the table and warmth to your family.....it buys things you need and things you do not ....everybody wants something and this goes with being selfish.....money does not make you selfish ....you make you selfish....everyone has things that they think they can not live with out when in fact they could .......am I selfish I am sure i AM IN SOME WAYS BUT MY SELFISHNESS DOES NOT COME WITH OR ABOUT MONEY
