Is there real value in money, is it necessary for human life?

Question

What is this invisible value in pieces of cotton paper? If we were to gather every single currency from this world, plus the gold, silver, anything that we today would call "valuable" and chuck it into outerspace or burn it all up, will humans die?

My opinion: No way, invisible value has nothing to do with human survival and striving, we can all live happily and peacefully off of natural resources without the money factor. Invisible Value

Answer 1

NO



.... However, you won't be able to get very far in society without money. It's a tragic, unfair fact. Still, people are too materialistic. I agree with you. IF people were willing to just give people necessities (food, water, clothes, shelter) and two other things of a person's choice (like books!), then this would work. Otherwise, you'd probably end up homeless, naked, starving, and cold. But is money key to happiness? NO!

Answer 2

Nothing has "NO" Value, other than what is placed upon it. Every thing is of some Value to someone. Butt in itself, has no Value at all,... because it is part of the WHOLE, Universe. The Value we place on money is intrinsic. It is the symbolic exchange of power. So money is of No Value per-say, butt controls the relinquishment of will, or will-power. And alters the balance of equal wills. The WORD then, is more powerful than the sword. Although the sword may kill the flesh for money the "WILL", will carry on the desire of Power. MONEY not withstanding.

Money also gives provides us a way to measure the value of goods.

Answer 4

You must agree with Gods word that also says, at Ecclesiates 7:12, "For wisdom is for a protection the same as money is for a protection; but the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom itself preserves alive its owner." He understands what you feel. He will also soon fix all things wrong with humans and make this earth into a paradise where everyone will farm for themselves and build a house on there own property.

Answer 7

People assign value to it. People think that money itself is life itself, because they worship money. But, money is necessary for human life, because it's used to acquire things that sustain life, like food.

Answer 8

My neighbor, Billy, can't live without the meds he wouldn't have without money. Meds that wouldn't be made without money. Meds made by doctors that would have schools to learn medicine without money. They also wouldn't have medical equipment without someone making it. OR without the imported products to make it. Without money, people wouldn't have a reason to make that internet we're both using work.
