People only think about money.

There are many sad people who think only of money.
It is much easier to live if you can be a good person without spending money.

I know this is a naive idea as long as I still have money to live with.
But I think it is more exciting and fun to live a free and unstable life than a constrained but stable one.
Of course, living free is hard. But soon you will feel the happiness of having a place to eat and live from the bottom of your heart. And I think you will be able to be kind to others in the same situation.
There are many apathetic people who don't know what they are doing these days. Because they are not doing what they want to do. They are hanging on to their money, constantly dissatisfied, and look like dead fish.
Will they be satisfied at the end of their lives?

So what happens without money?


You will live desperately. You will get into a lot of trouble. And how do you think you will understand people's feelings ?
I think you will grow because you live desperately, thinking. If you learn how to get along with people, you will enjoy it even more.
If we focus on helping each other directly, away from money, we will get what we need in our lives and understand how others feel.
And thanks to making more friends and helping each other, it will make you materially richer.
Isn't it killing two birds with one stone ?
If you have money, you can just buy luxury items to make yourself look good or buy something for others. But it doesn't help anyone.
I don't think money alone is enough to lead a truly fulfilling life.

As I discovered earlier, that Mr. Maezawa also posted his opinion that he does not need money on social networking sites.

*The following is a quote from Mr. Maezawa's NOTE
https://note.com/ysk2020/n/n928e4d3b3e1d

The way I think to make the world peaceful is to "eliminate money from the world.

While money is convenient, it also divides people's connections if it is used and meant in the wrong way.

It makes us forget love, appreciation and respect for others and amplifies disparity, inferiority and powerlessness.

There is no denying that money has played a major role in the evolution of modern civilization. And it is because of money that we are able to enjoy the affluence we enjoy today.

Frankly, I think it's a wonderful invention.

But that wonderful money has taken on more power than it should. It has entered our lives more deeply than we could have ever imagined.

People's lives are now told in terms of money, and the feelings behind things and things have been replaced by a number: price.

People were ruled by money and feared money.

People became concerned about their neighbor's wallets and felt as if their quality of life was determined by the amount of money they had.

I fell into the illusion that a country's wealth was measured by its GDP, and that the greater the quantity, the happier I was.

Less money led to a sense of inferiority, and more people became involved in crime.

There is no end to the number of suicides who end their own lives because of money failures.

With the one-sided imposition of capitalism that economic activities that increase money are justified even for the people of countries that do not prioritize them, wars have been launched, people and buildings have been bombed, and a rebirth that suits the victorious nation has been repeated.

When might we be used for money that should have been well spent? Money is not the main player in our lives. It is ourselves. We must reclaim the leading role.

War, terrorism, murder, robbery, abuse, poverty, starvation, and suicide could be reduced considerably if money were eliminated.

When people are freed from the brainwashing stereotype that they cannot live without money, they will rethink the meaning of life and work.

They will regain their true humanity.

Now, let's actually imagine a world where money is no more.

One day, money suddenly disappears from the world.

All financial transactions will cease and people and businesses will have zero account balances. No matter how much you have saved, no matter how much you owe, it is all a charade. All that will remain are the relationships and trust that have been established.

At the same time, all goods and services will be free.

You will be able to get whatever you want, for free.

Bringing home food from the supermarket, wearing your favorite brand of clothing, or living in a house of your preferred size and layout are all free.

Now what do you think?

Will there be a worldwide panic, goods disappearing from store shelves everywhere, people scrambling to get their goods and services, lots of robbing and looting, even people hurting each other?

I don't see that happening.

What about labor production?

If you can live for free whether you work or not, will people just consume goods and stop working, as long as they are good enough?

I don't see that happening either. In a world without money, people who consume excessively or engage in flamboyant extravagance would probably not be respected. Those who do not work at all would likewise not be respected.

In a world without money, people who work at what they love and are good at, and who please and inspire others, will be appreciated. Many will also realize that work is what it was originally meant to be. People in the financial industry who were engaged in the banking, securities, and insurance industries will lose their jobs as soon as the money runs out. When such people engage in businesses that address social issues, such as primary industry and welfare, for example, and create innovation through technology and brains, the richness of people's lives will be further enhanced.

As long as those who produce goods continue their production activities as before, and those who distribute and provide services continue their activities as before as well, the things necessary for people's lives will not disappear from the world.

The world will change from a world where those who pay more money are the best customers and are as great as gods to a world where those who produce goods and services are noticed and appreciated.

Thank you for producing delicious farm products.
Thank you for making nice clothes.
Thank you for paving our roads, cleaning our toilets, and carrying our things.

It restores a sense of gratitude and respect for those who make and provide something, which people have almost forgotten due to the presence of money.

The requirement is an annual income of at least 100,000,000. Pay-for-performance principle. Green car or first class. Credit card color. Winners and losers.

Various uncomfortable feelings that divide people disappear, even though no one wants them to by the measure of money.

Now, how will you live in a world where money is gone?

You are the master of your life.

The end.

Thank you for taking the time to read this long article.

We also received many questions. We answered the typical questions here.

Finally, I am writing this as I am sure you will definitely point it out.

Well, I get what you're saying, but how contradictory is it for you, a rich man, to "lose money"?

You are right.

Really, you are right, but unfortunately the power of money still cannot be ignored in the current capitalist system.

The reason I write these writings and the reason you can read them like this is because I am fortunate enough to be financially blessed within the current capitalist system and have the chance to share my thoughts with you.

Strange as it may seem, I believe we need to have more money in order to eliminate money.

I would like to be a person of influence and transmission in the world and continue to ask everyone in the world, "Why don't we eliminate money ?".

What we can do immediately is to continue to strengthen our ability to communicate through economic growth in company management, publishing books, making movies, and meeting leaders around the world to exchange ideas in person. Through such activities, we would like to help you develop an image of a world without money in your mind as much as possible.

Ultimately, there is no way that one person or one company can do this, and I know it will be a long, life-long challenge, but we will continue our efforts.

P.S.: We would like to make a film about "a world where money has disappeared". If you would like to help us, please contact us.
