$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('PeakKYJelly', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')n my opinion, money itself is the root of the problem.
Money motivates people to work. Otherwise they'd just hang around waiting for Mother Nature to provide everything to them for free, and die young of diseases that could easily be cured. It's a fake altruism that is the root of the problem. "Oh, money doesn't really matter much to me, as long as the government provides me free food. Oh, money doesn't really matter much to me, as long as the government provides me free health care. Oh, money doesn't really matter much to me, as long as the government provides me free housing." Sure, money doesn't matter, as long as you demand the government give you everything for free.
This is simply the limits of your imagination.
If you cannot imagine a world without money how can you imagine a world without oil? without natural gas?
Money is a tool - a crutch rather.
One day we will evolve beyond it.
