The Wisdom of Money

This is a hard one.  There is wisdom in money and other financial instruments, but only if they are earned, spent, invested, saved, and donated judiciously.  It can be a hedge against future times of famine, so to speak, a safety net, a life-saver, a protector and comforter if used properly.  It can be the motivator of the worst kind, inducing already weak and twisted individual to new depths of wrong-doing.  The only REAL value money has is the one we (society) sets on it.  In and of itself  it has neither meaning nor value.  It can accomplish great good, make dreams come true, save lives, but you already know the flip side.
