We all grow up with the words “money is the root of all evil.”
But money is an object, how can it be evil?
I personally think that the love of worldly things is the “root of all evil”
Trying to live up to the Jones’s instead of living within our means. What does it really matter if the Jones’s have a more beautiful house or a Mercedes SLK
While you only have a Toyota and a smaller house. Somewhere in the world there will also be someone that has more than the Jones’s.
That is life. Be happy and grateful for what you do have.
Rather concentrate on having a wonderful, loving and caring home, where everyone feels welcome and loved.
A home of love that everyone will look up to as a role model. Making time for our husband and children, serving them with love and dedication. Communicating and working together, having fun together.
Nobody remembers what huge worldly gifts you gave them, they only remember how you made them feel. That is the essence of life.
Money is truly a blessing if we want it to serve others and not for personal gain.
Money is a facilitator. A method of exchange. Money itself is not evil but the love of money to the detriment of others can be.
Money is not an object it is a man invented idea represented in the form of trust through trade by means of medium of exchange or personal memory and words...if I borrow two eggs from the farmer down the street and promise to pay back two eggs when my chicken lays the trust is the currency in that instance...so money is a man made idea of trust and nothing more
Thank you for that wonderful explanation. I agree with you money was a man made exchange method of trust.
I agree with you Grizgal. Money is only a method of exchange. it is the love of money that make people change, greediness and power becomes the most important thing in their lives, as they climb the ladder to success.
I think some time it's true money become roots of evil but not at all :)
Thank you Farhanali, yes the love of money is the root of all evil. Money as a exchange method is what we all need to live.
It's all about how you use money. It can be roots of evil, but it can also be roots of good...
Thank you Trendo, yes money if used wisely can accomplish a lot off good. But if used for personal gain to get power and to use it as bribery it becomes evil.
Moving the restraining concept of "family" into the liberating concept of "universal family" should do the trick anywhay.
Thank you zenmotherfucker yes if the universal family shows love to everyone money will have no influence.
It's both good and bad, it is the way it is :)
Thank you classydapper, yes it is can go both ways, it all depends what the person with the money's intention is.
having money is not a bad idea, but having money and using it to oppress the mass is evil,
I agree having money is good, using it to oppress s bad. If everyone in the world will love his neighbor as himself, we would all be rich.
The correct quote from the Bible is "The Love of money is the root of all evil". So money in and of itself is not evil, it is just a tool which can be used negatively or positively. It is the love of money, greed, avarice, which is the root of all evil.
Thank you so much flashstormic, you have expressed it so well. I agree money is only an exchange method, but it is the person behind the money that determines if the use will be for good or evil.
