Cash

I was thinking last night about cash. Money; what we call in Tshelete. This is a thing that has no past, no memory. In consequence the use of it is all about the here and now. Credit is allbaout the future and debts are all about the past.

Cash lives purely for them moment and that is its value.

When we seek cash we are looking for value in the here and now. By agreeing to credit terms we are placing our trust, our faith in the future value of the things of life.

How might we create a value system that is less atomistic? A value system that incorporates past, present and future without having to rely merely on cash?
