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.
I think the discussion you convey is very interesting to read and can be used as learning before we have a lot of money. maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow we will have a lot of money and hopefully we will really become good people in managing our money.
I would like to respond a little that money is not the root of any dynamics that are currently being faced, both in terms of evil and good, but what is wrong is how to manage money and where the money is directed. without a lot of money we can also live this life. I think like that
