I wonder if what OP is referring to is just a way of expressing the material complexity of life, we seek money, not money seek us? What is money? Purpose to have it? And then what? A vicious cycle and a pile of questions that sometimes we have the answers to ourselves or don't want to ask but still let the power of money rule our minds. I find it simpler than making money just to serve the happiness of each person's life position, the happiness of an ordinary person is different from the happiness of a rich person, so it is not necessary to distinguish the level of money and pressure on each other. You may or may not, as long as you feel you are doing it right for yourself and the people around you, that's what I see money as important and not as important.
