Do they give you salt?

Would you go to work tomorrow morning to be paid 1 kg of salt? Of course not, it wouldn't make any sense.

Yet once upon a time people worked for precisely this, for salt, the word salary is its derivation.

Today we work for money, because that's the current convention for living. Money is accepted everywhere and can buy anything with it.

Everything? Well, not everything.

For example, you can't buy friendship, love, or affection from people. If you obtain these values ​​with money, you're buying a fake, just like a counterfeit watch, which looks authentic but isn't at all.

So what should we work towards today?

For the above-described Goods of enormous value: friendship, affection, and love.

So the work to be done is merit, the increase of personal value from a human point of view, not a material one.

Maybe you haven't noticed, but just like salt, money no longer has any value today, because it's useful, but not relevant. There are people who still consider it essential, but it's precisely those who don't know how to distinguish truth from falsehood. The majority, you say?

The ancients said "vulgus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur", which translates to "the people want to be deceived, therefore let them be deceived".
