Isn't it interesting that those who pontificate that "Money is not everything" usually have money?
Be broke for a few weeks unable to pay your bills, pay rent and afford basic necessities, and then let's see if you'd still hold the same position about money.
Let us be sincere and stop fooling around; MONEY IS SOMETHING! A very huge something!! At least in this present world. Might not be a big deal in another world. But in this world? Save me the sermon.
Without money in this world, rarely does anything get done. In fact, many things suffer needlessly without money. Even the Bible is flat-out frank enough to recognize the fact that money answers all things in the context of this present world. It doesn't say money is "the answer to all things" but it answers all things.
So please, before you sermonize me that money is not everything or that money is no big deal, credit my blockchain address with one thousand units of Bitcoin and forget about it. Then I'd believe you. In fact, I'd sing it along with you...money ain't nothing!
Maybe for someone who lives in a modern life will say money is everything, and for those who have abundant money who will say money is not everything. let's see in the rural areas that have not been touched by modernization where the population does not know smartphones or electricity, like the badui tribe that I have read the story, where they forbid anything modern entered their territory and if there were residents interested with modern life, they were asked to leave the area
