Is money the real root of all evil in today's society
Quote
I do not think so, its like saying we dont need money, but money sustains life. It will always depend on how you used your money. There are many meaningful things you can use the money for; e.g., building hospitals, feeding the homeless, building schools, a fund to teach people, charity workhelpingelp technologsupportingort the government in enhancing its citizen's way of living, and other many things you can do with worthwhile money. I have read about the love of money, it talks about every behavior of an individual, not money itself that as the source of all different types of evil and distress. Money is ethically neutral; I believe there is naught wrong with money or the ownership of wealth. But, once the money starts to control a person that is when the trouble began. People being controlled by money will feel superior and takes pride in power which leads to greediness and obsessions of an individual. He or She will enjoy the luxury of life, they will use their money to dictate and control other people for his or her will. Money is a necessity that is why people do fraud, insult, kill, and do bad things to have it. Hence, it is not the money but the love of it that is the root of all evil.
The inept use of certain means always leads to sad consequences.
A kitchen knife is a murder weapon. Weapon for defense - becomes a weapon for murder. Money is used for illegal purposes and deeds... And so it is with everything. Money is not evil! evil when they are used by criminals!
And all these fairy tales "money is evil." Before money, gold was evil, before that - breeding stallions, and even earlier skins and pieces of iron. Any object or entity turns into evil only man!
PS I always laugh heartily when priests of the Russian Orthodox Church, dressed from head to toe in gold and driving the most expensive cars, tell the parishioners of their churches that "prosperity and wealth is evil"
