like all in life need a balance, money and the pursuit of it applied to this phrase, in this modern era we need money to survive, money is a power around the world that we need to have for food, services, education, etc... but like all things, much money for one person actually have a negative result in the live of one person.
Yes, everything needs a balance. Without money, it's impossible at all, but you do not need to pursue too much money.
This is something that is always going to happen due to human greed and want for more and more, you can'y just simply tell someone to stop going ahead and trying to get money because people are never going to know when to stop and what to stop for.
Greed is a horrible thing, but you can't simply balance out human greed just by saying that people trying to get more and more money are going to have negative consequences, no one is going to care in the least.
People know money is the root of all evil, you don't see anyone doing a thing about it though, do you?
