Week 8- Film- The Zahir

The Zahir is a a coin and that there is nothing less material than money and that it is nothing but abstract and future times. Money can be anything that you want it to be. These thoughts about money makes you believe and leads us to believe that we are greedy. Some people have a lot of problems when it comes to money. Where do we fit in as a whole society. The problem is that we live in a consumer society where we are materialistic and that we believe that money can buy us what we think is our happiness. My older brother once told me, that Mark if money can't buy you happiness than well you probably aren't buying the right things. Listening to that I now saw my brother as an idiot. Money is not what I am looking for, I am looking for the truth. When I
mean that I am looking for the truth I want to find what the meaning of life is, why am I here, what am I suppose to do? Money is an object that gets in the way of our goals. Yes money is a necessity to life but we need to be able to live. The problem is that as a society we are brained washed into thinking that we need all these different things that will solve all our problems but in reality it makes us feel worse. Sometimes we will do things that we dont want to do just so we can have our utility. The problem with money is that it drives us to our insanity and is utlimately the destruction to all mankind. We need to start worrying about more important things like world peace or feeding those that do not have anything to eat at night time. That
is what is important, not the type of sports car that we are driving.
