CONCLUSION

The issues of human sacrifices had been traced to money rituals and these had being a prevalence practice between the big and small, young and old alike. We can neither prevent nor fundamentally overcome money's general power of interpretation in our society hence the issue of getting by all means. But it is abundantly clear that this interpretation entails not only enormous advantages but also serious disadvantages: there is no clear-cut dividing line between individual freedom and the isolation of people. The ups and downs on the stock exchanges and financial markets which the layman puts down to fate leave feelings of helplessness. The gap between rich and poor is growing, inside societies and also between the countries of the world.

It is therefore important to repeatedly question the role of money and its logic from a critical distance. To do this requires autonomous thinking, and the challenge can be compared to "man's emergence from a self-incurred immaturity," as Immanuel Kant defined the Enlightenment. An independent way of thinking saves us from our being placed "immaturely" at the mercy of these connections. Money will not be able to give dispensation to anyone from the real questions of life. It will never replace a single friendship for anyone. Although it can assume what were formerly religious functions in a social context, it cannot provide a direct communion with God or our fellow men. On the contrary, it can even stand in the way of it.
