I know firsthand the experience of working hard day in and day out and ending up with nothing monetary to show for all the hard work you do. It’s the kind of frustration that can drive people to acts of desperation.

Everybody would prefer their life to be so easy where they always have all the money in the world they could possibly ever need and never have to work for a cent of it; but life just doesn’t work that way. Even if money grew on trees all the money trees in the world would all be owned by the big corporations, and every money tree would be heavily guarded from every potential money tree monkey. No one would be able to just walk outside and pick money off a tree. Anyone wanting money would still have to earn their money from the money tree owners, or else they will have to plant their own experimental seeds and hope that one or more of the seeds they plant will eventually grow into a money tree that bears fruit.

I suppose there’ll always be people who aren’t content to settle for what the money tree owner is willing to give them in exchange for some traded service, who also do not have the interest in trying to grow their own money tree, who will prefer to try to steal money or scam people out of money than to obtain their money rightfully.

Admittedly, it can get frustrating struggling to grow your own money, not seeing the kind of results you want to see in the time you want to see it; but no amount of frustration with the struggles that come with earning money the hard way justify turning to criminal activities to get the money you want.

If you’re disinclined to settle for what someone else thinks you deserve and is willing to pay you for services rendered on a weekly basis, plant your own seeds and try to grow your own money; but remember, every seed a farmer plants doesn’t grow into a fruit-bearing tree. Some seeds never even germinate. Some begin to sprout up and then die. Some start to grow and look promising but then something goes wrong and they die. You probably won’t turn every seed you plant into a flourishing money tree; but every seed you plant requires application of effort on your part to properly care for it and guide it in the direction of growth. If none of the seeds you plant ever grow to full life, consider the possibility that your method of caring for the planted seeds could be where there is a flaw that needs correcting before you get fed up and quit believing that you’re planting useless seeds.
