Craic and cash

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, friends.
I’ve been thinking a lot about money today. Mostly about peoples obsession with it and how we’re all programmed and conditioned to constantly chase it. The people I know who have lots of it seem to talk about it more than the people I know without it. Seems like the more you acquire the more you desire.
I like that old adage about money and evil. It gets misquoted a lot. It’s not “Money is the root of all evil,” it’s “The love of money is the root of all evil.” A subtle difference in wording but a huge difference in concept. 
Money is an illusion anyway. We’re all paid into a bank account without even getting printed wageslips and If it doesn’t exist, it’s not yours to waste. It’s easy to buy stuff you don’t need when you haven’t got to part with cash from your pocket to get it. When we got our pay in a packet each week and had to budget accordingly we all took it easy and made do with what we had. When it all becomes numbers in a big monthly go-around of shifting virtual currency the lines between credit and debt become blurred and you splurge and spend instead of saving and you meander beyond your means like an obedient materialistic moron. That’s how they maintain control over us and keep us continuing on down this Conservative, capitalist, consumerist shit-slope that is dragging us into oblivion.
Christ, what am I going on about?
Maybe I’m delirious.
