Money for Jam
20/12/08 07:11 Filed in: What the..?
Is anyone else becoming a little tired of hearing
about the “Financial Crisis” and how the
world governments are rallying together to try and
solve it?
I know I am.
The countless billions of dollars governments are throwing at what is arguably the result of rampant greed, is quite astounding. They are trying to save a system that put them in this position in the first place. A problem that could have been avoided by just taking less.
A birds eye view of the world, while it tries to deal with this self-made problem, is rather depressing. For while the world throws mind-boggling amounts of money at propping up the financial sectors, countries are still warring, people are still dying of starvation at a time when there is an excess of EVERYTHING, there are homeless living on streets of every capital city in the world, children are being abused and neglected in every country.
The old saying “Money is the root of all evil” holds especially true in these times, and to me, the saying “Money for jam” is the embodiment of that sentiment. Money for jam is exactly the opposite to taking less. Not only that, but people who use the term Money for jam in an attempt to get other people to take more than they ordinarily would, or would need, in return for doing something that they ordinarily would not...
There is more than enough in the world for everyone. There is no need for Money for Jam or the people who subscribe to the notion.
