Parable about money
⠀
A student once wondered about the special magic of money:
⠀
– What is money, Teacher?
⠀
He smiled mischievously.
- Ask a more precise question. Have you studied? Paid money for education, you know what it is.
⠀
– Yes, Teacher, I will ask differently. What is money in a buyer's wallet?
⠀
“Now I understand you. A very good question. The money in the buyer's wallet is nothing.
⠀
- Like this?? There is after all the theme of costs, profits, expenses. It's all about money. In the end, they can be taken in hand!
⠀
- All right, but not quite. When we hold money in our hands, we do not see it, but what we want to have in exchange for it. We rejoice and look forward to something completely different. And when we calculate expenses and profits, our thoughts are not about money - they are about how profits and expenses will change our day. Or tomorrow. Or our whole life. But all these our thoughts and emotions are in the head, not at all in the wallet.
⠀
- That is, the money in the wallet is just ...
⠀
- Yes! just pieces of paper or metal.
