We are so accustomed to being a little bit ahead of the curve that we don’t realize that we are so in the middle of the curve. It is so easy to get caught up in the moment and feel anxious or stressed, but this is exactly what keeps the financial health of our families and our communities so vital. Money is a tool that keeps us moving forward and can be a huge help when we are in need.
Money is not so important in our lives, but it is a very important part of our existence, and our ability to function. We should consider money as a tool, not as a goal. To give you an example of this, imagine that you were the CEO of Facebook. You would be able to give or receive money, but you would not be able to make decisions without it. It would be a tool, and you would not be able to make major decisions without it.
If you were a social-media manager, you wouldn’t be able to make decisions without your Facebook friends. It would be a tool, and you would not be able to make major decisions without Facebook friends. But it would be a tool.
This is a great example of what I mean when I talk about the “mental-state” of a person. In other words, notional money is just a tool, it is a means to an end. We can use notional money to make decisions, but we’re not allowed to actually use it. We are only allowed to think about it, we are only allowed to write about it, and we are only allowed to buy it.
Yes, Facebook friends is a very useful tool. But the real benefit is in the relationship it creates between the user and the tool. It provides a way to share information, to talk about things you don’t want to talk about in person, to make phone calls that you wouldn’t have made in person. It allows you to talk about things with your friends that you don’t want to be talking about with your friends.
This is a very human thing (to not be able to stop talking about something you werent even really talking about) that Facebook has accomplished. As a tool, it is useful, but it is not a replacement for relationships. Even though Facebook is a medium, it is not a replacement for relationships.
Facebook is useful for keeping in touch with friends, but it is not a replacement for relationships. Even though it is a medium, it is not a replacement for relationships. Even though relationships are important in every way, they are not the ONLY way friendships can be maintained.
I think you’re missing the point of Facebook. You never really said they were a replacement for relationships. You’re basically saying that you’re using Facebook as a substitute for relationships.
That sounds like a misunderstanding. There are many forms of friendship that can involve money. For example, a friend will need to buy a friend dinner, rent a movie, buy a gift for a friend, etc. These are forms of friendship that are very similar to face-to-face relationships.
But for Facebook to work it needs to be more than a way to share photos and status updates with friends. It needs to be an actual business that needs money to do what it does. That kind of money is why Facebook is still successful. If Facebook stopped being a business (which is what you are suggesting) it would quickly cease to exist.
