I feel like life is moving so slow at this moment. See my self doing the same thing over and over. Its so frustrating it is. I just wanna make people happy. But i feel like currency is a system that is holding all of us back. As an artist, i don't wanna charge people for my creations. I want all of you to have it. Just take it! But what kind of artist ill be if I'm making you give me something for something that i love to do naturally. That at the end, i just want you to have anyway. But it costs money to get the things that i need for art, and to go get it. How do you put a price on natural resources that we need to survive. Thats evil. That means that if i don't do what you think is right enough to pay me, and in the currency of place, then i cant live. ill just die? No wonder you have thieves. I just wanna be able to eat without having to pay for it. But it cost a lot of money to get that food so of course I'm going to make you pay. That kind of mentality needs to leave. Giving is how you get. You get what you give. I need money. So i can use it to make people happy with my art.

First off, trade exists even without currency. Secondly, even if trade dissapeared, the society would collapse because too many people would have no reason to do anything.
If you dont want people to pay for your art, make a Patreon. The people that give you money there probably have enough to spare and the same goal as you, to make your art available to everyone.

We either have to work to survive or rely on someone else to support us, that's just how life works. If we didn't need money to survive, people wouldn't want to work.
But getting money for something like art that you have a passion for seems strange to me too. One way of going about life is to just get a job where you get enough to survive and can have a lot of free time. As someone who's moved out and only works 3 days a week, it might be the kind of lifestyle/situation you're after.
But Patreon does also make sense because it's people supporting you rather than them having to pay you to see your art.
Also, just wondering but do you have devient art or something like that? I'm just curious what kind of art you do.
