Our current money system, for all its flaws, gives us a chance to figure out how we want to be in relationship with other people. What we want to do or provide in exchange for the means to meet our physical needs.
Superficially, we can treat this opportunity with a soul-less approach. Just prepare a resume, and get a skill-matching job. Or ride on the back of market trends, and do what we see other people in business doing.
Or, we can access meaningful work outside of ourselves, by first looking inside of ourselves.
