Dependence, out

Once he was born, the following 10 months with her son taught her patience amongst the rushed times, taught her unconditional love amongst the constant hatred thrown at her, taught her appreciation despite her longing desire for something more.

She didn't have any worries, no bills or rent to take care of. At all. Food, always around. All she had to do was write it on a piece of paper & stick it on a fridge. Her mother-in-law would go to the grocery store & she'd go downstairs to find everything in her list, there.

Money was no matter. Matter of fact, she didn't have it. She never asked for much & as for clothes? She just wore the same things that her dad purchased for her 3yrs prior to her relationship he was against.

And yet, without any money the problems existed. Seeds of miscommunication, envy & abuse were planted. & boy did they grow strong & tall.

So let's think. A world without money. For better or worse?

I think a world without money would be a lot better. If we all used our skills & intelligence to help one another & not expect to get paid, just taken care of always. How beautiful does that sound?

Alas, I continue to dream. Dream of our independence. It's a nice thought to be consumed by, if just for a minute. Then we can forget how much we depend on many factors to survive.

Long live America.
