Why is money needed for everything now?

Jiten171

In today's modern society, money is almost ubiquitous, permeating our daily lives and influencing various aspects of it. From basic survival needs to luxury consumption, the existence of money seems to have become the main theme of our lives. But what was life like for people in the ancient times when money hadn't yet appeared?In the eyes of our ancient ancestors, life was not measured by money. They lived in a primitive society without the exchange of currency, without the concept of modern economics. Instead, they relied on sharing and cooperation of resources. Survival was their most basic need, and this survival was achieved through collective efforts and mutual support. In that era, people's lives depended more on the resources provided by the natural environment. They obtained food through hunting, gathering, fishing, etc., and built camps and made tools to better adapt to the environment. The focus of life was on meeting basic needs rather than pursuing material wealth.More importantly, people in ancient societies established close community relationships. They lived in small tribes with close ties and cooperation. In such a social structure, resource distribution was more based on the needs and interests of the community rather than individual wealth accumulation. In addition, people in ancient societies also had their own values and ways of life. They respected nature, life, and each other. Although life might be hard, they were optimistic and resilient, knowing how to enjoy every beautiful moment in life.However, with the development and progress of society, money gradually became the medium for social interaction and resource allocation. The emergence of a monetary economy brought about more convenient ways of exchange and also promoted the development and prosperity of society. But at the same time, money also brought many problems and challenges to society, such as the exacerbation of wealth inequality and the proliferation of materialism. Even in today's money-oriented society, we can still draw inspiration from the way of life in ancient societies. We can learn from their spirit of cooperation and sense of unity, value emotional connections between people, and respect and protect nature. While pursuing material wealth, we should also pay attention to spiritual satisfaction and the improvement of quality of life.Although modern society cannot do without money, we can still find some aspects worth learning from in the way of life in ancient societies. By balancing material and spiritual needs, we may be able to lead a more fulfilling and happy life.

Without money, life becomes unbearable, let alone anything else.

It has been the case from ancient times to the present, right? In the past, there was no money, but there were other forms of currency.
