What besided money can rule and cultivate the world? If only the strong make it in life then who are the weak in the world who dont or cant make it in life? What do the weak need to be considered the strong in the world? What can make those strong in the world become weak?
Strength and power are not the same thing, one can be weak and powerful while another stong and powerless. Money has NEVER ran the world, people run the world (that and the forces of nature) those who do so are in a position of power, while not necessarily strong are able to push their will on to others.
if one has real strength, they will overcome the world. being 'strong' according to the world is absolute weakness, if you'll study the world's most powerful people, they are a bunch of SICK FREAKS....so why strive to have their strength (which you never will) when Goud hates such things as the so called 'strong' do? didn't Jesus tell us that "weakness" in this world is preferrable to "strength"? how tough do you have to be to give in to every twisted whim and desire you have?...not at all rant rant....eh

love can replace the money.bcos only it has some chances against money .people who are kind and have lots of friends become strong and mean and creepy people become week
Money only runs our lives because we let it. People only have power over us because we give it to them. When we find our inner strength and realise we don't need all the things we've been programmed to think we need we begin to take our power back. Nurture what you love and do more with less. Teach the weak that they have everything they already need, show them the strength they already have inside. Want makes us buy into what the 'powerful' are selling. Find ways to share food, shelter and the basics. Teach contentment, simplicity and solidarity. There is safety in numbers and united fronts, but individuals can also make a difference. Those that puff themselves up from our power depend on us giving it to them because they know only greed. Without our participation the corrupt will eat themselves. Collectively we should turn our backs on mindless consumption. So to me simply becoming aware of what you are doing in your life and how you are contributing to this mess is a step in the right direction, because we all do it in ways we don't even realise most of the time.
As Xac said m*ney doesn't really run the world, it's people who do... in this case however, money seems to be their motivation, but it could be ANYTHING else.
