Would you want to give up on money and just survive? Actually this is one of my dreams, maybe I am crazy for saying this but I dont see the point in money. I mean if health is so imprtant to keep humanity alive why do we have to pay for doctors and medicine, why do we have to pay for food if we all need it to survive, including water to drink and to bathe. If such a thing were to come up in this world I will be the first one in line to put my money in a urn to get burn. I have beliefs that dont fit in this world or maybe this era but one day in a distance future such peaceful world will exist.

Hey, I'm with you.
Don't take any notice of the people labelling you crazy. They've just got a long way to go before they get to this level. They're the ones perpuating the it-can't-be-any-other-way mentality.
But giving up money doesn't mean we have to go back to the cave. It just means figuring out a better way. We don't have to give up all our technology. We just have to figure out a way to keep it balanced with natural law.
It's horrendous that some people struggle to feed, clothe and house themselves while in the next suburb over they have so much that it gets thrown into landfill every week.
The medical system is inhumane, the educational system is pointless and the government have their thumbs in all the big money corporation pies.
Like Ben Harper says, I believe in a better way.

In many ways it is great that you feel you can be free from the almighty dollar. Many, many people can't do this or don't want to. Even though they complain about horrible health care and everyday expenses. Many people feel that what they know is worth something and they want to get paid for it. Most people don't want to go back to the Little House In The Prairie days. They don't want to think of an alternative way of living that might be better. The great thing about where I live at least is if I wanted to walk away from it all and go live in the woods i could.( my family would be pissed though). I would actually be interested in more of your idea. If this idea worked out than everybody would be working to help each other, right? You know some people would be sitting on there a s s doing nothing. But I know people who get paid for doing nothing anyway. Great question.

yes you are right, i mean most of the problems we are facing now days are based on materialistic needs.
Its sad to see material comfort have taken over the emotional comfort. I don't think you are crazy, everyone realize this thing at some point of his/her life but they regard it as idealistic approach and repress this feeling. Its good that you think so, i believe even having such views helps you to be at peace with yourself.

That would be Utopia. Which, because of the natural human
condition, will not work. The conditions I speak of is ambition and
pride. There is no place for these in Utopia.
