Is money the real root of all evil in today's society
If according to my conclusion that money does not cause evil, what causes evil is from the way of thinking that actually uses money and the heart of the user of money itself. Because money can be someone can give orders, want to be ordered to commit a crime can and can be ordered to do the right thing too. So what is wrong is not money or money is not the source of crime. The money wasn't wrong. What's wrong is the person using it.
Greed is the root of all evil and not money. When men want to satisfy their uncontrollable desire for luxury and other material things, they become evil. Money didn't teach people how to steal, kill, defraud or become corrupt, people intentionally chose to act negatively to get money. The case of corruption in the government of Ukraine is a clear example of what people have become because of the quest to get rich quick. How will a sane person be benefiting from blood money without remorse? Ukrainians are suffering and dying, while some corrupt government officials are stealing from their predicament. Even in the face of war, some are going on luxurious vacations with stolen funds. It is not money that is caused these evil but selfish humans.
Of course money is not evil, money is just a good thing which people put blames on that it is the root of evil. A clear mind that lacks greed and that is contented and see the money available as enough will never do anything evil to acquire money. I think money is never the problem but greed, the selfish interests that wants to acquire riches by all means. So I think the blame should go to greed by saying greed is the root of evil. Money is just a paper that does not have any say but the heart of men to do evil to get money.
