Looking for love in all the wrong places

OK there is this guy, and he’s lost his car keys. It is night and it’s dark and he’s painstakingly searching under a streetlight. A help stranger happens by and asks. “What are you doing?”

“Looking for my car keys”, he replies.

“Do you need some help?” the stranger asks.

“Why, that would be great, thanks!” And so the two patiently scour every inch of ground around the area. After a while, when it is clear that the keys are nowhere to be found, the stranger asks, “they don’t seem to be here anywhere, are you sure you lost the keys here?”

“Oh, no, the man cheerfully replies. I lost them in that alley over there.”

“Then why are we searching over here, under the light?” the stranger replies in exasperation. “Why don’t we search in the alley?”

“Are you crazy? It’s dark in the alley!”

It’s not enough to diligently search; we have to search where the answer lies, not where we want to search.

The answer and where it lies will come as no great shock or surprise. But first, as promised last time, something about money. Because that’s where we have been searching for some time.

What is money, anyway? After all there are lots of movies about “What is Love?” Why is it that nobody ever makes a movie about “What is Money?” Well guess what, someone did.
