1273:
Whether we’re part of the an
elite 1% or amongst the other 99%, we’d probably all be tempted to sell our
soul for the chance of making big money. Money cushions fear, and it isn’t just the
wicked who believe this. All over the
world humans fear poverty, or fear being forced to ‘live-without’ the things
they’ve become accustomed to. In order to allay this fear, everyone tries to
get hold of as much of it as possible. And
if we succeed, it’s likely we’ll indulge ourselves in ‘high’ living. We’ll eat the richest foods, partake of the
most powerful intoxicants, and make use of anything that money can buy, to
relieve the fear of insecurity and the tedium of living as poor people have to.
And where are the animals in
all this? They are chained up, entirely
exploited, entirely forgotten and entirely abandoned.
