Because WHAT Is Number One?

I'm noticing so many people in anguish about money...creating dramas, wrapped in blames, tied up with bows of sarcasms and hurled angrily at their loved ones. Why?

Why does "paper" and all the significance we attach to it cause this kind of challenge - especially between people who truly LOVE each other? Does money and our perceived problems with, without, or about it - cause love to collapse under the weight of it?

If a loved one had cancer, would we say "f" you? Yet when a loved one has a money problem, we DO say "f" you. The stress of both/either has the potential to tear even the best relationships apart.

So what is the difference, other than money is so much more important in the head than our health? What sense does THAT make?

When we come together in cancer - somehow our love calls forth our passionate strength and we grasp hands, stand beside each other with respect and jump. TOGETHER.

When money problem raises its head and roars, we juggle the reasons and realities, point fingers and blame, then say "f" you. The price we put on how much, or little, or "than others"....on and on...the ego demands that we demolish the cause of the pain, and it since it MUST be YOU - the finger points and LOVE jumps off the cliff.

Why?

LOVE is the one, unshakeable solution, because the only one charge of "losing" it, is us.
