He said money was &#8220;a way of keeping score.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h5>He is typical of many people who fear starving\u00a0someday although they are never hungry.<\/h5>\n<h5>How many of us evaluate our day\u00a0in terms of how much money we made or lost?<\/h5>\n<h5>Most of humanity is held in money&#8217;s thrall. The central bankers\u00a0are the puppeteers; we are their puppets.\u00a0 We are enchained by our material desires.<\/h5>\n<h5>The problem is psychological.\u00a0Enough is always a little more than one has.<\/h5>\n<h5>I am not talking about people who live paycheck to paycheck.\u00a0 They can be forgiven for fretting. I am talking about people who have ample income and savings yet are identified with their money. The more they have, the better they feel.<\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.henrymakow.com\/2018\/11\/what-we-cant-measure.html\">Continues \u2026 <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spiritual warfare takes place every second in every soul and every society<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39262,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[61],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-179763","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-Commentary"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179763","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/39262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=179763"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179763\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":179766,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179763\/revisions\/179766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=179763"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=179763"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=179763"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
