You think it's love that makes the world go round? Think again.
Money is the most important thing there is, because money equals ability. If you have enough money you can buy whatever you want. With enough money, you can buy a Senator, or even a President. You can buy an army if you want to. You will be able to buy the governments of three or four small Nations, if you have sufficient funds, and a desire to do so.
On a smaller scale, having money allows you to pay your rent. If you don't have money you can't do that. So you will be punished for not having enough money, and you will have to live as they say, "on the street", which is very uncomfortable and extremely humiliating.
It means you have failed. If you don't have enough money it means you have failed. It means you have not tried hard enough to have money, or were not skillful or clever enough to have accumulated money. People who have succeeded have money, but people who have failed do not have money. That's just the way it is.
Success is wonderful - it means you have plenty of money. If you have plenty of money, you can have a private swimming pool, and you can live near the coast, maybe. It's great! Money is a great thing if you have it. You can have lots of cool stuff! But if you don't have any money you have to live where there is a lot of violence and where your children are liable to get killed, and there are cockroaches, and that is only fair, because you are a failure on account of the fact that you don't have enough money.
It's a very natural thing. It's perfectly logical. People who are not able to accumulate money are not able to do much of anything else either. This is called "the survival of the fittest" by people who are good at making money. It is very scientific. So it is perfectly natural that people who can make lots of money should be able to tell everyone else what to do. They are the natural rulers, the guides of society, because they have most of the money. They distribute money as they see fit, of course always with an eye out to making more of it for themselves.
Anyone who feels that money is not of paramount importance to a sane world is just shit out of luck. Because money is of paramount importance.
