Zeitgeist: The end of the monetary system?

A Sunday at home, doing not so much but resting, and enjoying spare time without any worries.

I was told last year about Zeitgeist The movie. And I did not see it until today.
It proposes a new world system based on resources, not on money.
It made me really think about how this world would be with this system, without being worried about earning money, having all the basic needs covered and only worrying about further issues, as research, about the Universe, about things for developing out knowledge and human society.

Why do we put barriers to ourselves?
Why do we stop the development?
Why are we slaves of the work, for earning that thing called money?
Do we really need the money?
Do we really need brands?
Do we really need to have ads in every corner of the world?
Does the society have to be based on the money to continue growing and developing itself?

These among many other ones, are questions to raise now in my mind after watching this documental:


Zeitgeist - Addendum

They are Spanish versions. But you can find different versions easily.

I have to say that before this I always was thinking that the money is not the solution for our problems. It is a barrier that is stopping us to develop and grow.

After watching this, now I know that many people think in this way, there is a big movement supporting it and I am really glad about reading it on the net, the place where the REAL, and not manipulated by media testimonals, thinkings, and opinions are reflected.

Blogs, portals, social networks, and many other ways to publish contents can really make a change.

Sites of the movement:

http://movimientozeitgeist.org/ (Spanish site)

Now it is up to us, to all of you, to the ones who are living on this planet. Our planet.

Think about it.
