Another interesting way to look at the relationship between real money and energy is to think about how real money is a store of value.
Is your time a store of value?
Do you know how much you have at any given moment?
What would it be worth to have that knowledge?
What would you "do" with that knowledge?
Ironically, this is exactly what we're discussing, though, isn't it?
I have no way to recycle my time like silver can be recycled, no way to repurpose it once it been spent, no way to reclaim it once it has passed from the now in to the future and then becomes past tense.
How exactly does one store time for another's benefits at another time and place? And why would one choose to? Why not choose to eat, drink, and be happy because tomorrow we may die?
Why do men plant trees while knowing they will never experience their fruits or the shade or eventually the warmth of the fire that they will fuel?
My time and the potential for usable things of greatness and wonder and beauty to inspire, or shade, or feed, or warm those who come after us without any glimpse of expectations of receiving anything for this foresight of action in the present is noble and virtuous. It defys the rational of the parasites who only understand the urgency of the grumbling of their bellies, who are incapable of seeing life beyond their hosts uppon which they feed.
This is the difference between kings and slaves, between nobility and peasants, between holiness and sinfulness. It's the very understanding I chose greatness because it's my birthright. Therefore, my actions embody it.
This Thanksgiving may all rise to the honorable call of virtuous acts of gratitude in gracefulness to the graceful or wrathful rejection to tyrannical. Accountability is long overdue from some perspectives, yet to pay favor to wrath is more devine than investing in lies.
