Money is simply a storage of future labour. You're given it in return for the labour you perform today for someone else (or as a benefit from society due to not being able to perform laborious tasks.) Money isn't evil. How you utilise it is evil. > Epiphany Two happened a few months after they met, on June 27, 2003, almost six years to the day after Epiphany One. Johnston’s father had sent him $50 for his birthday. With it, he bought beer, pot, and cigarettes, and then threw himself a small party at Beacon Hill Park. He overdid it and found himself lying on his side behind a bush. “I was just pukey drunk,” he says. “It was embarrassing. And then it just hit me. Like, I've had enough of this. I'm not playing this game anymore. And I was done. I had no use for money.” The lesson here hasn't been learned. Simply don't exchange money for those things. Exchange them for something else, something healthy, and you'll be fine. I feel like this kind of protest stems from a degree of immaturity with money; not knowing how-to utilise it, what its reasons for existing are.
