A society without Money

We all need to possess things, and things required money to buy. We are all controlled by this 'money' objects. If we want something, we will need to trade something with equal value to get it. In a sense, it resembles the Universal Laws, but in a material way of thinking. We worry that we can not pay the bills this month. We worry that we haven't saved enough money for our kids to go to college. We worry about how much our medical or dental insurance would cover for our sickness. We worry about the money to get our cars' maintenance and repair. We are afraid to get robbed. We worry about our house monthly payments otherwise they will take it away and we will become literally 'home-less'. We work ourselves exhaustively to get any raise possible. Of course we are damn sad when we lose money. Even for students in college, what is our goal? To find a good job with good benefits and start earning money... Don't you feel sick and tired about all those restrains and commitments to money?

However, because this society is monetary based which means everything has its own material 'value'. There is a saying 'there is nothing free'. Yes, here, we just can not live without money - at least for now. But, how about: a society which was initially built not on money, not on trade but on ... love, trust and responsibility? A society without money.

A society without money will need all of its members to be spiritually advanced. That means they must strictly follow the Universal Laws in which people understand, live and act by the Karma. It bases on the brotherhood, trust, love, responsibility, care, love...

This society may seem impossible to construct with the current humans spiritual development but it does not mean it is not possible in the future - perhaps it will take a long time for us to develop. But if we look back to the way prehistorical people lived and compare that to now, we will see there is nothing impossible, it just takes some time.
