Goho: Inevitable framework

Goho: Inevitable framework

MONEY is ultimately a necessity to prevent various discomforts life throws at us. Some may argue on its superficiality and limitations, but it is of utmost importance in attaining one's goals and aspirations. To put it plainly, life becomes all the more difficult without it.

Most who downplay its importance may be out of touch or may simply be settling to justify their present subjective disposition. While it is true that money cannot give access to everything, especially intangible and spiritual matters of deeper and profound implications, it is essential as we make choices in every aspect of our lives. Every aspect of life entails the utilization of money. It captures every facet to the core.

While I am not setting aside higher matters such as deeper intangibles such as love, sincerity, or empathy. It is a reality we must face. And while we do not need all the extravagances and lavish materials to survive, we simply need basic essentials and there is a moral obligation to act on such prerogatives in order to further our potential and utilize our capabilities.

While men are free with various impulses, the desires, and wants of man are ultimately inescapable, and such mechanisms manifest themselves naturally, and there are byproducts of progress that result from such industriousness. There can however be destructive slippery slopes geared towards greed and self-indulgence which may make it harder and arduous in the long run.

The evolutionary spirit of mankind is a continuous and inevitable reality. We are just but small pieces of a bigger machine in the works, and we play our respective parts in an oftentimes robotic and cruel society. But such pains and hardships fuel us and may eventually advance us to become our truest selves maximizing our best potential.

However, the moral framework we find ourselves in, the consciences we battle, the sense of right and wrong embedded in each of us that we constantly deal with do not allow us to all-out act ruthlessly and unconscionably without any clear structure and direction. Somehow there are laws that keep us grounded and create a paradigm that limits and fails to fully permit any mode of pure nihilism and anarchy.

As human beings, we have a moral duty to develop, progress, mature, realize, and improve in every aspect. There is no alternative, we cannot simply laze around and spiral downward in a dark and empty path.

The limitations and finitude of life are what fundamentally make the journey worthwhile, knowing it all has an end and knowing there is an aim towards growth and meaning. We seek answers knowing our limits, but yet there are graces that we undoubtedly experience. And while the challenges may be overwhelming, we have the resilience to withstand the mishaps that frequently occur.

And while a life of hardships in actuality is much more beneficial to our internal strength and character, as it could serve as a training ground to whatever difficulties may arise in an uncertain world. A paradigm where responsibility is ingrained and practiced ultimately leads to a dependable and sufficient individual that many would aspire to emulate. The ability and capacity to handle difficult situations and tasks are useful in advancing human efforts on a larger scale and these are the individuals that can eventually be relied upon.

Individuals with character who display leadership and competence are all but critical in further improving society and humanity. It essentially goes hand in hand, external and internal, character and ability, EQ and IQ, knowledge and empathy.

It is then truly dangerous to shoulder huge responsibilities without a proper and objective framework, it is then lackluster to have able workers with no moral backbones, it is then unwise to utilize money and other amoral mediums for the wrong purposes over what is rightfully beneficial in the collective and objective sense.

We cannot be oblivious to the surrounding graces bestowed upon us, it boils down to the choices we make, the mindsets we utilize, the attitudes we carry, the actions we take individually which will eventually shape where we advance economically, morally, and personally as a collective species.

Each day there are opportunities at hand and challenges to confront. It is how we respond through our many decisions and choices guided by our sense of morality and objectivity, discerning God's will and purpose subjectively over our own misled and limited self-will which enables us to move forward, find wisdom, and evolve in every facet.
