“Everything we see around us exists around us with a purpose”. The purpose of anything and everything is what we should know to lead a lifestyle which makes sense. The technology is improving day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute and I think it is also improving second by second. The different gadgets we have, the different gadgets we’ve made over the past few decades seems to have the up-gradation in terms of design, performance etc. But what is the purpose of the very existence of gadgets?
When I read about the various civilizations of our human race, I’ve realized 4 important things.
- The physical appearance remained the same i.e) there is no change in the physical structure, the Pharaoh‘s have the same number of limbs as the Greeks. The Greeks had the only one brain as that of the people of Indian and Chinese civilization.
- All the people of ancient civilizations had the same emotions and feelings like us (the present human race) the feeling of love, hatred etc are the same for the us and our predecessors.
- The social system of the past and the present is almost the same.
- The way people lived has changed. The lifestyle what we live is different from that of our ancestors and the ancient people.
Arts and the science are the two main things or the most important things every civilization is based upon. The foundations of any civilization are based on the administrative system. The improvement of any civilization is based on science. The Greeks, the Chinese, The Egyptians, The Indians etc have many similarities. But these civilizations have a different lifestyle because of the geographical conditions. The geographical factors affect the civilization.
The strong administrative principle of the past is the same. But the development in science which led to the development in the technology has made the world more connected and more developed on terms of how we communicate and how we learn things.
To me, the past things made much sense than now. A balance existed between the nature and the man which made those civilizations strong and helped them to make a mark on the world we live in. The balance is lost to some extent in the present day. The philosophy of why and how has relatively a less significance now than the world before a 100 plus generations.
It is only the man who is responsible for all the changes happening in this world at this very moment of time. I believe in barter system than the trade system. Because of the trade system, the science and its developments, the technology and its developments are linked with the money. If money is not the standard of measure then we would have lived in a world which is much safer, much peaceful with much more harmony than ever before.
Conversations with self 
I like what you wrote. I wonder if it is money per se that is the problem since money is simply the means of exchange. It is that free markets are good at allocating capital but not income, thus free markets lead to both wealth and wealth polarization and the latter can get out of hand if not managed politically. However, excessive income polarization also polarizes the distribution of political power that preventing the needed corrective.
