The energy of cash
In physics, energy is understood as the ability of a physical system to do work on other physical systems but despite of such explanations there is no complete understanding of what energy is.
According to the law of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed by itself. It can only be transformed.
We often use power as a synonym of energy. Power is not a complete synonym but mostly refers to the conversion rate regarding the above mentioned law.
Even though we have science that explains the natural facts, we still divide the knowledge into several streams – Physics, Chemistry, Biology, etc. Due to the shortage of time and static point of view, none of us is capable to see the facts in their completeness, called Nature. On the other hand we’ve created our own laws that are corresponding to the natural ones, but are designed to serve our own egoistic interests.
Money is power. Pharmaceutical industry is chemistry and money. Medicine is biology and money. Economics is math and money. Everything in our life is connected into a symbiotic circle where energy is transfered by money. It would be perfect if the human race was an independent physical system. But it is not. We are just tiny part of another big (from our point of view) system of life, where energy is the most important component and it has nothing to do with cash.
As soon as we see that, we’ll understand the whole picture.
