It has 2 sides, depending on which side we look at. I think it is not wrong to say that money is the root of evil, because it does not eliminate the fact that money can also bring good. On the other hand, money can bring good, but we cannot deny that money can also be a source of evil.
This depends on the person himself, something that is good can become something that can be destructive if someone uses it wrongly. And also something that is considered dangerous can become something useful if it is in the right hands.
The point is that we cannot claim that money will bring evil without being able to bring good, and vice versa, because as I said before it depends on the person.

From what you say, you cannot say that money is the root of everything, human consciousness and behavior are the root and cause of everything. Money is just a means or tool for us to use and whether we use it for good or bad is entirely up to us.

Except for Earth, almost everything that exists in the world is an invention and creation of humans, and the purpose of creating them is to serve human needs, including money. If humanity could control greed, jealousy and envy there would be no more evil and vice versa. Humans not only do not want to control greed, jealousy, envy...but also use them to treat their fellow human beings and evil is born from that. So, in my opinion, the root of evil and root of fear is man.

No, I think you misunderstood what I said. I also agree that it depends on the person and I think I said that. Maybe I didn't explain in detail what I said, so it caused a misunderstanding. I might give another example, like a wooden stick. A wooden stick can bring good if we use it for something positive and a wooden stick can also bring evil and maybe even put someone in the hospital, if the person holding the wooden stick uses it for something negative, like beating someone up. Well, the same thing with money, I mean the same thing but in my previous presentation I didn't say that in detail, but at the end I still said it.
