a forty fifth cartoon...'money'


Living in London you hear a lot of money talk - but it's too easy to dismiss it as vulgar or vainglorious: not everyone is born into wealth, and yet (nearly?) everyone who slides out of the womb kicking and screaming (an entirely natural reaction to arriving on planet earth) holds aspirations to do, or be seen as better - money is both a reward for achievement and a symbol.  However, one must be careful that money does not become one's main life pursuit (spending money on someone, for example, does not have the same value as spending good time with them) - even if money can provide the foundations for attaining the various incorporeal delights that (amazingly enough) do exist and can be found.
