Sure it was mentioned.. But the correct phrase is NOT the above but rather.
BUT FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY is the root of all evil.. Kind of makes a big difference.
Is it really evil If you "Love" to earn more money? (In a decent way) like most successful businessmen does?
Because for me, I think the other way around.
"The lack of money leads to an evil deeds." I mean literally.
When a person lacks of money, he can do several crimes such as stealing, selling drugs, and other illegal activities that involves huge sum of money.
A humble advice, you don't need to make separate posts in one thread. It'll only look like you're flooding.
