WHAT Happened To Passion?

Everyone knows the saying "money makes the world go round " But does it really ? Lets think about this. Firstly, money is supposed to represent gold which has a fixed value per gram.Yet in actuality it's nothing but book keeping (I could write a thesis on this alone but lets just assume it is true for now) It is nothing but a means to calculate how much you owe the community and how much it owes you. Secondly if the world was covered in money it would have no value and therefor the rarity of money is what makes it valuable. If that is true should we not be glad for the fact that there is to little of it available? Now lets take a few logical leaps. Firstly lets bring back passion for ones craft as a reward instead of money. Second lets favor compassion instead of compensation. Now take a moment and imagine that world. Is the world not better like this than the way it is now? It's so easy anyone can do there part by simply changing these two ideas in there minds. Lets Review Two changes each person can make within themselves to help fix the world as we know it. 1) Do things because you are passionate about them and not because someone pays you to. (PASSION is the key) 2)Seek to be compassionate beyond being compensated. Or just call me Naive and forget you ever read this. Whatever you do i wish you nothing but success in everything you touch.

While I don't disagree with what you're saying unfortunately, for most people, passion doesn't put food on the table and keep a roof over their heads.

I agree with what you are saying and understand completely, however I think most if not all people can do more than they are currently doing to try and minimize the disparity between passion and vocation.

@DraydanB I think that's true to some extent. I would always advise anyone to pursue a career, wherever possible, in something that excites them. If that's not possible then pursuing a hobby or pastime that excites them is a must.

Well money for me is not everything we know that but everything do needs money because we can't live without that also for a living.

I totally agree money is important but maybe just maybe... not as important as we give it credit for. I am not ignorant toward this i know that bills need paying and people have to eat. I just think its sad that people who could be living happy lives are sitting around doing things they hate. I know it can't be different in our world as it is today, but perhaps if we raise our children differently and demonstrate different behaviors to them than the ones our parents showed us. Perhaps then in a few decades it could be better.
