While waking up this morning, I could just about feel the energy of money and the comfort I gain by spending it and the tension that's relieved by quickly converting it to material goods or by "investing" it in some new learning experience. The unspent money is like raw energy, pure potential. I feel a need to bring it down to earth, to contain it by converting it to some specific form. The raw energy and pure potential of unspent money—I can apparently handle only so much of it.
