i have found out some ideas to define what is money, but i only post one of them. I hope u are not tired when see it, hehe...

One cannot overlook the fact that some of the inventions which have had, and continue to have, the worst consequences for mankind are also some of the most useful and important. The motor vehicle and aeroplane are two obvious examples, their misuse (particularly, overuse) being a major cause of the unsustainable drain and strain we are placing on our planet''s finite resources and carrying capacity, not to mention the way in which cars and roads have been allowed to blight our cities, towns, villages and countryside, or the huge toll they extract in human lives.
But of all mankind''s inventions, there is one, perhaps the greatest of all, the use/misuse of which underlies the use and misuse of all his other inventions, making it absolutely central to his future ?" indeed, to whether or not he has a future: MONEY
MONEY is surely one of our most important inventions, without which civilised society would be unthinkable. Most of what we do is either for or with money. It doesn''t only make the world go round, it also determines the speed at which it turns (the pace of the rat race), and even more importantly, where it is going. If it is schools and hospitals we want, it is money that we use to plan, build, equip and staff them; if we are plundering and spoiling our planet - and with it our own children''s future - it is money that is being earned, spent and invested doing so.
MONEY has been with us since ancient times, but we have not yet learned - nor shown much interest in learning - how to use it responsibly. Instead, our animal nature (behaviour that evolved over millions of years to serve the ?oGreatest Ape''s? survival and advantage in the natural environment), aided by a prodigious, but unenlightened intelligence, has used and developed it as the most versatile form of power in the struggle for survival and advantage in the artificial socio-economic environment, which for humans, with the advent of civilisation, has come to replace the natural environment. This, by the way, is crying out for recognition as explanation for why we persist in giving priority to the economy (the household of man) rather than to ecology (the household of our planet), when it is obvious ?" to a more enlightened intelligence, not blinded by dumb-animal self-interest, fearful of biting the hand that feeds it ?" that for medium and long-term human survival it has to be the other way around.
MONEY is vitally important to the functioning of society as a whole, and to every individual. No one can survive without it, any more than they can without air and water; although, in contrast to these, it seems that we can never have enough money. This is because of its addictive and magical properties (making its misuse by our animal nature both inevitable and extremely dangerous, as attested to by history and the present state of civilisation). Although worthless in itself, it can be exchanged for virtually anything (including air and water, if these are what we need). It can even be used to create more money (now, if that is not magic, I don''t know what is!) We depend on it for our most vital and basic needs, but the same money is also used to satisfy the most trivial, infantile, extravagant and wholly unsustainable desires of creatures still dominated by their animal nature.
Perhaps this is what comes of worshiping a (concept of) God, who instead of praising us for our emerging self-awareness (beautifully portrayed in the first part of the biblical story of Adam and Eve), encouraging us to take responsibility for our behaviour and advising us how best to do so, cursed us and filled us with guilt, treating us like the animal we need to transcend, in order to become responsible human beings (?oDo what I (my priests) tell you and I will reward you; don''t, and you will be punished!?), thus keeping us compliant and obedient to (priestly) authority (see Genesis Revisited).
With MONEY we can satisfy not just our material needs, but most of our non-material, social and psychological ones as well. It plays a dominant role in determining our status among family, friends and acquaintances, as well as in society at large, where - typically for an ape - we are far more concerned with how much money/power someone has than with how they acquired it or whether they deserve or are worthy of it.
MONEY may not buy you "real" love (whatever that is), but is ideally suited to provide the kind of love humans are naturally inclined to feel for those with power over them - in the hope, if not expectation, of winning their protection and favour (or at least, not incurring their disfavour), an inclination deeply rooted, socio-psychologically, in the feelings of a child for its parents and exploited not just by monarchs and dictators.
MONEY is the most versatile form of POWER. Making it mankind''s most useful, misused and dangerous invention. It can be used as ruthlessly or devastatingly as a fist, a sword or a gun, but with the huge advantage ?" and sanctity ?" of legality. It is the central pillar of modern capitalism, which developed and has been honed to take advantage of our animal nature (explaining why some aspects of it work so well), the advertising and cre*** industries helping to keep us fatally addicted (quite literally) to the grossly materialistic, spiritually stunting, and wholly unsustainable lifestyles (and lifestyle aspirations) it engenders.
We all feel and fear our dependency on others, and seek security, and "independence" in the power of MONEY, which our modern socio-economic order was moulded (by those who benefited most) to facilitate. Our behaviour, however, evolved in an entirely different setting, within a framework of mutual dependency in our family group (clan), whose even most powerful member would have known personally and had at least some love and concern for its least powerful members. It has had no time to adapt to the rapid expansion of the group to include thousands and now millions of individuals, or to the artificial socio-economic environment that this development has given rise to, replacing the natural environment (which included rival groups of humans) and confounding the distinction between ?oour own group? and others, to which we are naturally inclined to respond very differently. Group bonds are emphasised under various banners, such as "company loyalty", "national identity" or the "brotherhood of man", while at the same time we are in competition with and exploiting each other (within, without, or bending the law) as if belonging to rival groups.
What were the aristocracy, other than a bunch of thugs who forced others to do the hard work, while lording over them, strutting about and mainly squandering the fruits of their labours? Or the Church, other than a group of clever individuals who used the power of their intellect, rather than the sword, to their own advantage? And together they formed an unbeatable alliance, the latter sanctifying and legalising the power and privileges of the former (who protected them in return), along with their own.
As the most effective means of controlling, coordinating and directing the activities of large numbers of people, money gave grossly excessive power (and privilege) to those in control. These became the most highly desired niches in the socio-economic environment, which ?" true to our animal nature - were (and still are) fiercely fought over and defended.
Having evolved to live (with all the diverse activities and interactions that entailed) in relatively small family groups, real relationships (as opposed to ones mediated, e.g. through money or the media) and community are still hugely important to us, emotionally (and spiritually), but are largely unfulfilled in a world dominated by the impersonal use and power of MONEY (and the media), where virtually everything we need is bought and paid for with varying degrees of anonymity and alienation.
Modern states seek to harness the individual''s need to belong to a group with ?onational identity?, but with wholly inadequate, when not disastrous consequences. So-called ?olocal communities? are rarely more than just collections of largely isolated households, free (thanks to money) of all dependency on each other and, thus, of any ?oreal community? or intrinsic community infrastructure (just extrinsic, supplied by the local authority). Individual and social dysfunction and much of the inhumanity and insanity of modern society - although familiarity and dependency make it difficult for some to recognise - are a consequence. Insanely, the more that is done for MONEY rather than for love, friendship or neighbourliness (including all the measures, which are many, that attempt to counter its negative effects), the more "successful" the economy is judged to be.
We have really got our knickers in a twist. And the more we attempt to solve our problems with MONEY, the more twisted they become (New Labour are providing the latest, sad ?" because well-intended - example, while the Conservatives and LibDems vie to provide the next).
The problem is not money itself, but its misuse, not by wicked humans (or fallen angels), but by our animal nature. In view of what Charles Darwin is supposed to have taught us about human origins, this insight should hardly surprise us, but for some reason (or a lack of it) we are loath to face it.
( that passage was extracted in "What is Humanity?Ts worst Invention?"- "Money: mankind''s most useful and misused invention")
So pity when this topic on Mon is not "MONEY". Therefore, the idea above is only supporting idea, but it is necessary!
Thanks for attention!
