Too Poor to Pay Attention.

The economy is based on the flow of money from one location to another, money being worthless in a situation where it is completely stagnant. The currency of life is attention and it too is worthless unless it flows from person to person, particularly in relationships where the flow of attention should be a mutual cash cow.

However like interest in the world of finances it adds up fast if you spend attention you don't have, or miss payments on attention that is borrowed. The payments can easily become overwhelming. And don't forget the demands of those who expect payments that can't be made. Unfortunately if you can't pay the proper amount of attention, you tend to not get paid the proper amount of attention and since one can not easily survive without attention, like one can not easily survive without money, one will do what it takes to get attention. Beg, borrow, or steal, is the popular phase for money, where as tantrums, drama queens, and misbehavior would be the methods for receiving undue or past due attention. If these methods should fail one may always resort to bankruptcy, which is in essence the governments way of forgiving you your financial mistakes. How does one file for an emotional bankruptcy?
