The Psychological Boundaries/Limit We Create For Money
As humans, we like to create limits especially when it comes to money. This is because, at its base core, money is one of those objects that directly derives value from man and still has the extrinsic ability to still control him (man). Originally, because money derives power from people, things like money policies or central bank reforms can take away the worth of a fiat currency, making it as worthless as a piece of paper.
However, this is all abstract and has to do with the formalities of central money entities. You'll be surprised to know that at the baseline, there's a psychological worth that is being derived from money's ability to purchase.
Purchasing Power Is King
This is why it can destroy ethics, compromise principles put moral standards in jeopardy, tests loyalty, financial resolves, and equally annihilates all the barriers that people set up in order not to lose themselves in the endless loop that comes with its chase.
I use to hear people saying there are things they cannot do because of money
but this is only theoretical and doesn't apply to the practical aspect of reality. Like I said earlier, people create limits because they feel it's particular standards that define their humanity, meanwhile, these standards they've set have not been broken because they've not encountered life situations that can break these standards.
Money Is Practical
For example, some people say they cannot steal because of money, but the truth is that these people will steal for money, the only thing is that situation that would make them break those moral codes has not yet been activated in their lives.
For example, a person on the brink of losing their loved one, not because of an incurable illness but because of their inability to purchase good medical care might loosen their sense of morals about stealing, especially if there's a possibility that there's Money somewhere to be stolen and solve the instant problem and agony of them losing their loved ones. We must understand that loss is a big motivation that compromises every one of our moral codes
Upholding laws, ethics or principles is questionable or comes under scrutiny when people are faced with experiencing a certain loss that might change them forever
Losing Compromises Our Money Ethics
I do think that it's not everyone who has experienced the highest stage of money dilemma because I can categorically tell you that people who have, are the ones that have fragile standards and limits as to how far they can go for money. People often underestimate their capacities when it comes to money. I know that one of the reasons why is that we partially understand the potential ability of money to control people beyond their reckoning.
One of the ways we keep to our standards about money is by making sure we're not in compromising situations where we'll need to choose survival over morals or standards. There are questionable things almost everyone has done for money and sometimes when we think about it, it's unbelievable to think that we could ever do such things.
Money & Questionable Actions
This is because we do not consider these things to be undoable when we're faced we challenge, we only consider them to be so when we do not have these issues. This only proves that the human mind is purely hypocritical. Most of the money limits we've set for our lives will be broken immediately after the appropriate issues with loss sets in.
One thing I've come to understand is that irrespective of the problems we might be facing with money, not a lot of people have experienced some of the problems that would take them to the tipping edges of life. What this point does is strip people of their moral standards, and this is why it's good to understand that we're mostly not capable of the things we are.
The Tipping Point Of Compromise
I do think of the thing people would not consider doing for money is losing their lives because this is the highest tipping point of compromise that changes the whole narrative. Nevertheless, there are still people who will give their lives especially if it'll secure the lives of someone they love for example.
At the base, we're capable of anything when it comes to money, and not accepting this is one of the biggest stages of self-denial. We have to understand that money is an experiential commodity and the only way we can truly understand its capabilities and how it determines a lot in our lives is by going through the lessons that come with profit and loss daily.
Imagining The Possibility Of Doing Anything For Money
When people are not open to imagining these possibilities, then the only thing they can do is to keep working hard, stacking emergency funds, and having enough savings and assets. Nevertheless, no matter how much money we prepare in order not to be exposed to the possibility of doing anything for Money, we still have to understand that no matter the pinnacle of wealth we get to in life, no one is completely immune from loss.
In life, what we mostly hold on to is the sentiment of hope, hope not to do certain things for money, or hope not to compromise ourselves when the possibilities of such things are likely especially when we're faced with the risk of extinction. People can do anything for money this is a certainty, but we hold on to hope that we might not see circumstances that might make us.

Something you have right, we the humans are hypocrits beings.
Money is very powerful and it is the most important thing on earth even though people are the ones that gave money value it can control us, bend our morals and make us do unspeakable things.

Exactly, some people still live in the opinion that they cannot do anything for money. Meanwhile it's because they've not been exposed to some life-threatening positions or Possibilities.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
True. Most people that are still in a favourable place or stage will say they can’t do anything for me. Yes, because they have not have a critical reason to do so.
Except from losing my life.. killing someone is also what I cant do.
Human mind can easily be controlled according to situation.
This is why we do not pray for life threatening positions that wouldn't compromise us in any way. These things are possible in life, we cannot outrun them, but I just feel it's foolhardy to set limits of people what we cannot do for money, when our endurance capacity has not been tested.
The way you tell the facts about money is impressive!
Agree when you said just one situation away to break moral codes... When I see hustlers working hard for money the one thing most have in common is they don't want to get into situation where money make em corrupt or made them choose other way. People who believe or say money can't do anything or buy happiness are just living in illusion created by those in power.
People are liable to break moral and ethical codes when it comes to survival, although I won't say it's everyone, but we wouldn't know unless our capacities are being tested.. it's a crazy world we live in.

Indeed.
Couldn't agree more.
That's the whole truth, for some, these positions might be inevitable
Very true, most of the standards we set concerning money has not be tested and when tested might fall. As you said we can only hope we never get to that point.
In life, we try to strive, so that these tests wouldn't hit us bad. We try saving schemes to ensure certainty in finance, but if we haven't been tested by difficult situations, then we're lucky
Indeed…really lucky.
Well put! Money is very powerful, the possibilities are endless
It's definitely a huge dilemma when money gets involved. It reminds me how there were quite a few people like Rogan and others who took the money bags.

You're right, the compromise that's realistic with money situations are endless. It creates a test that people cannot withstand when they're setting standards.

It's uncomfortable to think about the edge so we make constructs and try to live within them as much as we can. Life has its way of testing our moral principles and when it comes to money, most of us don't mind failing the test just to save ourselves or those we love from an unrecoverable loss. We like to think we're good people (which is very true) but there's also a beast inside that will break limits just to have it its own way. And money has an uncanny ability to wake up that beast.
This is the truth. We like to think we're good people, which isn't far from the truth, but our goodness has its limits and it can be mindbending to even think of those scenarios where we face compromise to our ethics and moral codes because it's either we do so it don't survive. The need for Survival Compromises people a lot.

Yes, it is a basic instinct and morality is non existent down there at the base level.
I voted for your post but it was worthless. could you give me some tips?
Honestly am new to this community in terms of engagement, but this post about really reflects on the psychological effects money can cause, you extensively discussed it, you talked about the tipping stage, which I wish no one should go through, I think I have an idea on my next post from yours, thanks.
Eso es asi mi amigo, todo lo que usted dice es cierto, pero hay cosas que no puede comprar el dinero y es el amor, la union familiar y los valores del ser humano.

If love that is a mere feeling can make people do silly things how much more money that solves 90% of our problem?
Our biggest prayer is that we don't find ourselves in positions that we would have to compromise, especially positions that will lead us to beating ourselves up for the rest of our lives.
Nice one @josediccus
This is true, but some people are still of the opinion that there's a lot of things they cannot do for money, I'm glad you're agreeing that there are endless possibilities that happens with money.
This would definitely be our biggest prayers.. thanks for coming through.
You're most welcome.
I have seen many movies where people are asked to "state their price". Many people think they do not have a price because they have not been pushed to some limits and the worst has not been brought out of them. But is some other sense, some people rise above those standards and I think that is what we should focus on if we want a society with better standards.
As you've said, price is everything. It comes to a situation when we shatter normal standards and code especially when it comes to survival. We cannot trade anything for survival or thrival, not even loyalty or commitment. I just think we can only hope not to experience such real-life situations.
True. I have seen similar situations in the hospital where people fall short of belief in humanity. But more often I see beds with loved ones beside them. I think that is as close as I have come to seeing people sacrifice their potential to make money just to be beside a dying loved one. It almost brings tears to my eyes (especially when I am not too exhausted)...
Great post, I learned some new things🙏
