Having money is truly a necessity, and one can be able to sort out a whole lot, and live a very comfortable life, when one has a good amount of money.
But money isn't the root of all evil, it's actually the love of money that can lead to the root of all evil.
I have heard a lot on the news, where people kill a fellow human for money or to get rich, and painfully I've even heard and seen in the news where a person even killed his own mother and sacrificed her body parts in order to acquire riches, really sad you know.
Every human love money because it's a necessity, but if one takes this love for money to a negative angle, it becomes desperation, and at that point one can do ANYTHING just to make money, and this is what brought about the saying of money as the root of evil.
