Interesting Thought for the day

One of the great things about my job here in Thailand is that I get to meet so many interesting people from around the world in a face to face setting. Today I was having a great chat with a really interesting Israeli guy and we got to talking about money. The topic of money corrupting everything from religion to politics came up, and he tossed in a really interesting point. In his somewhat broken English he told me that as human beings we are all corrupt to begin with. Money is what allows us to act upon and express our shortcomings as the flawed beings that we are. That concept definitely got my brain working and will give me some food for thought. It just goes to show that you never know when, where or from who these little tidbits will come from. In this case it was a bit of philosophy from a small Jewish Orthodox community in Israel. Enjoy.
