Departure from Europeanism and Return to Japaneseization Theory --- Repent --- Money

Money

Money is a medium of exchange for goods in society. It can be obtained by working and is used when obtaining goods or receiving services. Usually, the value is determined by a coin minted from the metal or a number printed on paper printed by the central bank. In recent years, invisible money such as virtual currency is circulating as something valuable.

Money

Money is essentially fictitious. Even if you have money, if you can't exchange it for goods or services, you can't live your daily life. Money itself has no absolute value. It is the minds of those living in society who believe that money can be exchanged for goods and services.
People want money because money has exchange value in society. In fact, either because the state guarantees that the money issued by the central bank has exchange value, or because people living in society believe that money has exchange value.
Therefore, if the national economy collapses or if there is a sudden social unrest, the exchange value of money may disappear.
Money is necessary for social life. Money is valuable as long as it can be exchanged for something you need. But it might be a bit dangerous to think that money is all-powerful.
People tend to think that money is everything in life or work is for money. In this way, they want money earnestly and deteriorate their relationships, or they make mistakes in their judgments about money. There are many people who spend their lives in the dark and cold just working for money every day.
Don't take money lightly. Money is of course important in society. But don't get hung up on money more than you need to. In particular, you have to be careful not to let money ruin your relationships and make your life boring.
