Well....
Although "Money" is a problem...
The "Bigger Problem" is "People"...
Since we are a "herding species", we tend to build them...
After awhile most of these herds turn "bad" because the "originator" was only involved in "self", anyways...
And...
People "Strongly Believe" in these herds... Look Around...
Only people who are "individuals" get anything at all...
Be it bad it good..
"Joe Blow" believes it is his duty to defend the herd....
BTW...
I "LOVE" the "Artwork"!!!
👍🏼😊👍🏼
People's relationship with money, yes 🙏 - our passivity within corrupt and abusive, unfair systems - instead of our understanding that there are other ways, like cooperative, creative fair ways to gather in clusters/ herds, and to organise ourselves in the bigger collective. It feels like right now our capacity to organise ourselves might be changing (Hive being a good example of trying new ways going forwards)... Lots of possibility opening up...
It may be that ironically individuality is key to our transformation: we have to self-actualise to some degree - have an identity that is solid-but-flexible and to feel calmly secure in our unique place in the world - so to bring the truth of a healthy biodiverse human culture into being. So long as we're passive and unaware, our actions and consequences can be used by people controlling power dynamics within the systems currently in place, and we all hold it there.
This is a complex discourse however - difficult to have via short paragraphs on a platform like this. 🙏
Thank you so much for your good words about my art! :-)
Hi again,
I did forget to mention...
Yes,
until "We" as a human can get away from the herd,
And become Individuals, that are responsible beings -
There will exist a problem...
Unfortunately,
Humans like "Herds"...
Hi There!!!
I would really enjoy a cup of coffee with You!
Yes that what You wrote...
I mentally call it,
"The Human High"
And when you peel all the crap off, it comes down to just wanting to support a belief system, handed to them...
Sad...
Money does not exist, at best in today's world it's only a "worth agreement", based on a belief...
Nothing more...
But the worse part is those who continue to support it, hoping to get a chance in the system, working against them with their own help...
Sad situation for the human race, as this whole "Houdini" act is about to get snatched away...
In the flip side...
That's why "We're" Artists..
The last bastion of Vision and Creativity left...
Thanks a while lot for the comment and have an Awesome Weekend!
👍🏼😁👍🏼
Thank you so much for your astute comments, dear @lesmann - it's good to hear your thoughts and your perspective - and yes! I'd love if we could teleport and have coffees with friends we have online - it'll happen one day :-D Hehe! And YES - artists have a great responsibility and power to reveal to all humans our immense creative potential (which has been so suppressed by 'culture', so ironically!!) - which is the gateway to our collective freedom - onwards and upwards :-) Happy week to you.
Happy Week,
To You As Well!!
👍🏼😁👍🏼
(*I do not know if You have ever heard about Damon T. Berry, on YouTube mostly, he has a series of videos... Embedded in this is the great gift & responsibility Artists have to Mankind in general...)
