If money HAS TO become first, because it’s debt. And debt is money. So a carrot and a stick at once. What will be left to be genuine that comes in touch with that money/debt?

“Genuine love is rarely an emotional space where needs are instantly gratified. To know love we have to invest time and commitment…’dreaming that love will save us, solve all our problems or provide a steady state of bliss or security only keeps us stuck in wishful fantasy, undermining the real power of the love — which is to transform us.’ Many people want love to function like a drug, giving them an immediate and sustained high. They want to do nothing, just passively receive the good feeling.”

It will become a debt, a burden.

Me: Does usury influence the genuity of relationships?

ChatGPT (jan23):

Usury, or the practice of lending money at excessively high rates of interest, can potentially influence the genuity of relationships by creating financial stress and tension. High-interest loans can put pressure on individuals and families to meet their financial obligations, which can lead to feelings of anxiety, frustration, and resentment. These emotions can make it harder to maintain open and honest communication, and can strain relationships.

Additionally, if the burden of high-interest loans leads to financial instability, it can make it harder for individuals and families to afford the things that are important for developing and maintaining relationships, such as social activities, travel, and other forms of shared experiences.

However, it’s important to note that usury is not the only factor that can influence the genuity of relationships. There are many other factors that can play a role, such as individual communication skills, shared values and interests, and life circumstances. Additionally, while usury can create financial stress and tension, it’s possible to have genuine relationships even in the presence of financial stress.
