Gold, - The trap.

Woke up this morning catching the tail end a dream that was saying something like, " ...because man worship gold he will always have difficulty in making changes in his ways. Hmm, what does it mean? So here I sit and am trying to unravel this revelation an the first thing that came my mind is that, gold is immutable, incorruptible, hence the answer to this message in from my dream?
Gold is Money.. Gold has been money for thousands of years. And one of the easons gold is money is because it's immutable. That's just a fancy way of saying it can't be changed or destroyed...
.
But humanity in more than one way needs to change, man needs to change his ways or he will not survive as a species into the future. How can man change, how can I change if that which i hold most dearest is an immutable element, gold (wealth)? With gold, life can happen in a much more expansive and productive ways, for gold is a symbol of wealth and wealth leads leads to good health or so it seems. But as gold is corruptible through a chemical process as my father who was a Goldsmith by trade had proven to me, wealth often turns to greed. Gold can be made into an alloy by melting it down and mixed with copper. Muslims it is said should not wear any form of pure gold for it is believe that it saps your energy and so the gold items were 'watered down by mixing with other metals., wealth too if acquired without obsessiveness is commendable. So what does all these got to do with the dream I had?

I do not know if i had interpreted my dream as accurately, but it was the first thought that came to mind as I was waking up from the dream, that it had to do with the fate of man being possessed by greed instead of wealth. We cling on to and desire for more than is needed, never enough. This is one of the cause for our inability to
transcend and change our lot for the better; we as a species are stuck with acquiring the impermanence rather than seeking for the more permanent in life.
