I started thinking more on the content of my last post, I was thinking about the last time I used my chip & pin card.
Whenever I use it, I feel no connection to my finances, yet when I have a note or coins in my hand I feel more in control and it feels realler. Am I alone in thinking that this constant pressure for the quicker, more rushed way of doing things is contributing to our seperation from the real?

Absolutely not Richard! Things are getting more and more cerebral, you’ve only got to take a look at evolution, the way we think now and thought way back when; the way we use our bodies now and back in history…
But yeah, I feel the same when I use my debit/credit card. There’s nothing quite like handing over cash money (or receiving it for that matter).
