I'm not sure what you mean by it, can you please give an example?
For most people, money represents the time out of their lives it took to earn it.
If you steal $10 from someone, and they earned it from a job that pays $10/hour - you didn't steal $10, you stole an hour of their life.
- thatguy0900 4y agoThat's the calculus when you are well off and secure, which is not most people. If you steal money from someone who makes 10 an hour, you have probably stolen their rent and ability to feed themselves, not their time. Worrying about time is for people who have the basics well covered.
