Money is an artificial concept — it’s not natural. Humans created it. Animals don’t use money to interact. And because of that, relying heavily on money brings hidden disadvantages to our lives.
To be healthy, for example, you can’t just buy your way there. You have to work on yourself — eat right, be active, lift weights, walk, run. And once you’re healthy, you can’t stop. You must maintain it by continuing the same habits.
The same applies to relationships. You need to build understanding of human psychology and invest effort to create strong relationships. And when you have them, you can’t just stop, or they will decay.
But money works differently. You can earn it once, put it to work passively, and then just exist without doing anything. And that is the problem. Unlike health or relationships, money doesn’t demand constant effort. When you stop working on yourself and only live off passive money, you begin to degrade. You start dying inside, because growth requires active engagement with reality, not passive comfort.
