Value of money- Part 1/2

  
    Money="Life"
    Money="Fame"
    Money="Motivation" 

 The above lines are written as if they are a code of a programming language. Well, programming is one way, people can earn money. And without doubt people want to and need to earn money to survive. It's in our genes. We all wanna survive. In the caves, we used to hunt to survive, now-a-days hunting is turned in jobs. We are looking for the same things; food, shelter, clothes, relationships etc but in a non-traditional way. Why did we switch to this way instead of hunting and gatherings? Well, that's easy because it was very stressful. It was hard to hunt all day, memorize the location of our caves when we went on long trips to hunt for food. We did not have time to spend with our family. It was very hard to survive.

But the question that I am posing here is that, was our solution for those problems right?

The same problems; stress, tiredness, less time for the family exists till now. Of course it is far more easier to survive, it is far more easier to get food, shelter and other basic needs. But, there is a center of homeostasis, I want you to come to with me. If this is the best solution for that problem, why are you then searching for the 'value of money' on the internet? Or why are you sticking to my posts yet? The simple answer is there exists a problem withing the system that we are dealing with right now, and there's no point resisting it; you'll literally resist yourself.

There is a very common phrase in psychology of learning; "It's very hard to learn when you are not into it. But when you enjoy the subject, learning is easy".
They refer to dopamine here. They say that dopamine is the ultimate cause of motivation and extreme lack of it will lead to Parkinson's disease, a complete lack of any movement. Another study says, when two monkeys were kept in a prison(it's a crime to do these experiments these days, but
Harry Frederick Harlow (October 31, 1905 – December 6, 1981) did it anyway.) they chose the mechanical mother that provided comfort over the machine that provided food. This showed, that we tend to draw towards comfort more that survival, and that's my point!(By the way, all the Research papers of the experiments that I am referring to are provided at the end of this post.)

All of it did not provide us survival. We are technically not craving for survival, the statement, I wrote in the beginning, "We all want to survive", is wrong! We want to stay in our comfort zone! And it's natural, it's not bad to feel distracted, it's only that if we could change the reaction to that, we could become happy, less stressed, and more peaceful.

We naturally crave comfort. It's only our reaction to that craving which makes all differences.

Wait, what was the relation of money in all that? And what after the homeostasis that you provided?

I know, right.
