    Poppycock. Money is simply the MESON to acquire goods. How many goods you need are different from the number you want. Άλλοι άνθρωποι είναι ευτυχισμένοι με λίγα – άλλοι με πολλά, so it was always. Simply changing the way of acquisition.

    » Continue, well, to you first the Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these other things will be added to your. 34 Therefore, never worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will have its own concerns. Is enough for every day its own evil.

    human greed is the force that drives our economic system, but it remains OUR choice where we invest our time.
    If we ask for money will most likely occur early but we have in our lives to wonder which is the price that we will pay whatever you really deserve.
    The system undoubtedly responsible , But if you add them all in what we keep for ourselves the role of simple life appear while I was supposed to be cast.

    We can, and without the kapitlismo and without communism, and without all this crap.. The mechanism of fear has paralyzed every free thinking and creativity. Those who have realized this, Let xekoynisoyme those we can live as we want and not want as industries, the Church and any local political system.

    This constant nausea without vomiting alone recycled.
    The replication mechanism of this culture has a name and his name is: “καπιταλισμός”.
    If you do not hit capitalism as many wishes and make money will continue to lay down your life.

        Είναι συμπαντικό… ναί γιατί ο άνθρωπος ζει στο σύμπαν. While the society and the State is outside the universe!
        Είναι ο καπιταλισμός που σου λέει “αγόρασε”, prospered to become happy.

      Isn't capitalism, Is the fathomless love of man for power, for money, for power. Do you think any socio-economic model and if (by magic) establish, the passions of man will be erased; If you do not change direction of human mind, nothing is going to change on the field beyond the types.
