Money and Interconnectedness

I was on break thinking about all the money i am having to spend on repairs to my basement which flooded....I had a little epiphemy!

You know money is just a symbol of our interconnectedness. The construction company will be helping me with my life by doing the thing that they do best...their "calling" so to speak. So I am paying alot of money, but they will take that money and use it to "pay" someone else for groceries, rent cars, etc. Think of how many people will be beniffited by trading services...it is very circular too...cause those people who this money is passed on to will sometimes use some of it to save up to send their kids to college...(where I work) and they will pay money for tuition etc. and tax payers pay taxes which all go in the pot that pays my salary for coming to work each day and being of service to my department that educates their kids. (my "calling")

I was just sorta wowed at how money can show me the interconectednes of all our lives and is simply an investment in each others lives.
