After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing. Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do. I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time. I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do. If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking. I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.

Personal feelings could never work for this. Business dealings and efforts rewarded (jobs) have to have a physical substance of value to be used, spent, and stored.

Money is a medium of exchange for goods and services, how exactly would you use love, wisdom, or compassion to pay a light bill or buy a loaf of bread? If you can't then none of those can be considered currency, and that isn't something we can change. You seem to lack an understanding of what "currency" actually is.

Children are jealous and have no sense of Independence therefore have no reason to develop a viable moral code. Which is the key to a mature Sense of life. And being able to see the big picture as well as the small one. they have to mature. Children are jealous and have no sense of Independence therefore have no reason to develop a viable moral code.

At our present state, we as a species are incapable of such mature behavior. The only way is by transcending their humanity.
