Alan Watts | Money, Possessions, & Lifestyle

“If you say making money is the most important thing, you will spend your life completely wasting your time. You’ll be doing things you don’t like doing in order to go on living. That is, to go on doing things you don’t like doing. Which is stupid. Better to have a short life, which is full of what you like doing, than a long one spent in a miserable way." - Alan Watts According to Watts, money is the same order of reality as inches, grams, or lines of longitude and latitude. It is an abstraction. It is a method of bookkeeping to obviate the cumbersome procedures of barter. But our culture, our civilization, is entirely hung up on the notion that money has an independent reality of its own. Aside from this clip and quote above, Watts discusses this further in "Veil of Thoughts" in the Philosophy & Society collection. ▶ For COMMERCIAL-FREE Alan Watts talks | https://play.alanwatts.org/alan-watts... ▶ Who is Alan Watts? | https://alanwatts.org/life-of-alan-wa... “Perhaps the foremost interpreter of Eastern disciplines for the contemporary West, Alan Watts had the rare gift of ‘writing beautifully the un-writable’.
