No, it's a human instinct to love possession in the like of animals. This "illusion" you can only tell it's an illusion once you start thinking about everything with reason.
Correct it's all merely an illusion.
The question is not how much/many that you have, but what you are doing with what you have.
Thats the problem with money illusion... We are not sure what to do with what we have...
In some cases money value is in (- ve) i.e shape of loan, overdraft or borrow from someone.
We are struggling in those situations and creditors are giving us hard time.
That illusion is a big reality of todays world we must make ourself capable of earning money at the scales in which we are not struggling.
Whats the soulution of that ILLUSION?
Can we afford to come out from that illusion? (When we already experienced the conditions of those who lack in money.)
When a human start his life at school he/she trained to become someone who can earn lot some of money.so that he/she recognise as a successful one. Importance of earning money is injected in human brain how heart pumps blood to body.
Although i agree when one thinks and rethink about the money its absolutely a big illusion.
I see some people spend whole life chasing the TARGETS related with money and when they finished chasing the targets they realised they lost the life or wasted the life chasing those targets.
Some people are successful and some get unsuccessful in chasing targets but they never lived their lives end result is same whatever they chase they left behind and burried empty handed.
Some people worried more to protect that money what they chase along with those who are also worried to generate a bread or medicine for sick child..
Package of FEAR is applied on everybody i.e money chaser, money maker, money loser and money seeker.
Money is lifeless thing but appears it controls all the life. Lol
