This rum shop owner takes the bill, lodges it among others in the bank, and the five dollar bill, crushed, filthy, soiled and perhaps even a \u201clittle drunk\u201d (HA HA) is counted in by\u00a0 the expensively dressed bank teller who is so happy for being chosen for the job but whose perfumed fingers are already turning black from the corruption of the dirty money bills.<\/p>\n<p>In a way money is a great unifier, for we are all united in purpose with a passion for finding it wherever it may take us and as fast as we possibly can.\u00a0 It has not however been called the \u201cRoot of all evil\u201d for nothing, because it uses people and turns the minds of even the most mild into cauldrons of conflict and ferment.\u00a0 Money they say is like seawater, the more you drink the thirstier you get.<\/p>\n<p>The honest pastor becomes a seeker of expensive birthday gifts from his congregation, the accountant steals from his employer, the merchant overprices his goods and the politician cannot believe how lucky God has made him or her to be in control of the treasury.<\/p>\n<p>When people cannot find employment and that precious five dollar bill becomes more and more out of reach then the breakdown begins- of mind, soul and body and of course principles.\u00a0\u00a0 In our Caribbean all the governments are talking about youth indiscipline but\u00a0 if we continue to hear of\u00a0 large numbers of dollar bills covertly moving through high places and sudden wealth to those in higher places, then the moral authority to correct disappears and though people generally do what those in authority tell them to, they also follow what those in authority seem to get away with, be it right or wrong and that five dollar bill may go to places that not only make us shudder but will collapse our principles as well.<\/p>\n<p>As you read another five dollar bill is getting ready to leave the bank on its journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"How the money is made, or where it comes from is of little interest\u00a0 to us, just place it in\u00a0 our hand and its \u2018home sweet home.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 But the five dollar bill which is our lowest value paper bill has&#8230;","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[81],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-just-dennis"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
