The oldest profession in the world, for me, is also the most honest. Because both parties are aware of what they make out of the transaction. Man pays girl, girl makes love to the man. The love making is fake, both the man and the girl knows it. But its ok. Because money made the transaction real. In this sense, it is honest, because both parties know it is fake.
We are all prostitutes. Trading ourselves for money. I go to work and get paid for my time. And most of us also fake the busy-ness of everyday grind. Doing just enough to not get fired. Just like a prostitute trades his time and "services" and fakes the love making just enough so the client returns for more business.
When prostitutes stopped asking for money and men stopped giving money, the only thing that can become a currency is love. And sometimes this happen. When you stopped working for money, what you do will always be for love. And everything will be free. This freedom goes both ways. Freedom for you, and freedom for others. You own nothing and thus you own everything. By you I mean, all of us.
I just recently discovered that at the core of every religion and philosophy is the ability to think of money as it is. As real as it gets. If a crow snatches a coin, he doesn't know what a coin is for. To the crow he sees reality. A shiny round object. But a person sees it differently. A person sees the future of the coin. What it can be traded. While the crow sees it as it is, the present, just a useless piece of metal.
Jesus, Gandhi, Buddha, Einstein and all the Greek Philosophers have gone the divine path of giving away their riches for achieving this enlightenment. Jesus called it heaven and or God. Buddha called it nirvana, the Greek Philosophers called it divinity, Gandhi called it nature and Einstein called it the universe.
Modern religion has been the victim of their own teachings. If religion followed their teachings, where everything is for free, then there will be no religion. I do believe that modern religion has interpreted the teachings of Jesus the wrong way. If we do, we all be wise Philosophers and Buddhist and Scientists all at the same time.
We humans give persona to things. Just like Christians think that the bible is the word of God. Just as everybody thinks money is freedom, or happiness or power or sex. We also label ourselves, "I'm a Christian, I'm a Muslim, I'm an investor". This is ego. We gave persona to ourselves.
Jesus have said that the pagans knew the word of God. Without even being a disciple of his. He even went so far to say that the word of God is not written in books but is written in all creation. They knew it already. The pagans worship nature. They respect and lived with it. They worship trees and animals. Jesus is not a Christian. Jesus has no religion. Just like the buddhist and the philosophers knew. They were all wise. They were right. We are the universe, we are nature, we are God. And living according to nature, seeing reality as it is, is the only path to heaven.
Money is not good or evil. It is our ability to give it a persona that is bad. If we see money as it is, a piece of paper. Then money will have no value. Then we wouldn't judge people by their net worth. Or their car. We can then open our eyes to the world with no judgement. Because you, me and everything here is all part of heaven. We are all part of nature.
There is nothing in this world that is permanent. Working for money is prostitution, no matter what kind of job you do. But if you do it for love, for the sake of doing because it gives you joy, then you are living according to nature as said by the wise men of our times. Money then becomes irrelevant and you'll be able to start living and experience heaven in which Jesus has promised.
All the things that have been said here are not from my own. They have been said by the people mentioned and a thorough reading of their works will reveal the truth. I am just merely summarizing it as I understood it for myself.
