Money, in my opinion, is not the root of all evil, nor is love for it. Everyday people make the choice whether to be good or bad, whether to be honest or dishonest, whether to be scammers, thieves, or saints. They give in to their greed, their lust, their envy, and their jealousy. They allow it to drive their intentions and motivations. And before you know it, they destroy their own lives as a result of poor life choices and then blame it on money. This is not so. Money is not the root of all evil; people and their decisions are.
