    Someone shared this video with me and I was aware of this scenario and I'm sure a few of you also are aware of it. Yet the video explains it in quite a nice, easy way.

    [video=youtube_share;iFDe5kUUyT0]http://youtu.be/iFDe5kUUyT0[/video]

    The funny thing is, I'd long since figured this out, roughly, without learning it as it is the only logical way there can be so much currency out there.

    And it's the reason why I have no intention to remain as part of this system.

    Clearly not such a great secret if you figured it out by yourself. How exactly will you be withdrawing from the world of money?

    Well, there are two answers to that but I'm not sure if you're really going to listen to me with open ears. I'm wondering if you're already thinking I'm wrong before hearing me.

    In one way of looking at it, you might say you can't escape. So, for example, a person could choose a way of life such as monastic life, where they have no possessions of their own but the monastery being tied to money to a lesser degree than you might have been outside of such a place. I'm sure there are other kinds of communes too.

    In another way of looking at it, you can live in a rogue kind of way in the sense that, as the video says, money doesn't really exist and even the value of gold is only something given by people (I.e. If a dog came along and took a sniff of a bar of gold, he'd probably pee on it and then walk away). In that sense, you could try and live with that attitude and live somewhere it might be possible, I.e not Central London for a start.

    I'm not really a fan of debate, by the way. That's not what I'm here to do. Take the video or leave it.

    The more important thing is what we actually do and how we actually live our lives. I'll find my own way as best I can but one of the important things for me is not being part of that kind of system or having as little to do with it as possible. More important than that is trying to make myself a better person so I can be good to others and live in a way that helps others. At least, I'll give it a try.
