We can stuff money in our ears and ignore it. It can be an excuse for not changing, for not having to change, for standing aside or apart.
It can ignite. Pour it on the fire of passion and progress. It can provide the tools for those fighting, or equip yourself for the same purpose.
It can be a distraction. A shiny bauble taking the focus off the fundamental work that needs to be done. The tool can become the thing. The money is not the thing, it is a tool, a symbol.
We can use money to participate, to protect, to provoke, to pretend that there is nothing we can do, or perhaps to actively prevent the inevitable change.
But let’s not forget that we are not powerless. We are making a choice.
Change happens, often radically, and our money is a part of that.
