Money is NOT the root of all evil

There is a popular saying that "Money is the root of all evil". It actually depends on how a person interprets the real meaning of it. But most of the time, it is defined as - The desire for money drives one human being to possess a deviant behavior. The fact is that money is just a tool or a resource to get things that you want, you can never really say it's evil. The truth of the matter is that having lots of money is even better. It makes one happy because it somehow eliminates one of the major things that affects the lives of every soul in the world, and that is financial problem. The thought of you'll never have to starve again, never have to worry about your kids' educational expenses, and just being able to afford what you want is a wonderful feeling. How you make money and use it determines whether you are a being of positive or negative energy. It is true that some people commit crime to get money by stealing, cheating, lying and killing. But it is also true that people do good things to earn money by providing value to others, putting up businesses to provide employment, and other things to help our planet. Imagine the world without the use of money, do you think crime would not exist? Maybe or maybe not at all. Probably, we would hear a saying that goes "Barter is root of all evil". Money is just a currency. It even makes our lives easier and less complicated with that. It's the intention of the person that determines whether the money will be used for good or evil. It is part of living in an imperfect world and nobody can control that. We will always have good poor people, bad poor people, good wealthy people and bad wealthy people. It's a choice of who,what, when and where you want to be. I am sure you will eliminate anything that is associated with the word -BAD, I hope. So this leaves us with being a good poor or wealthy person. The problem with being poor is that you will still be a burden in the society. A portion of the tax that the wealthy people pay will always be set aside to fund their welfare instead of using it in other means to promote progress. Let me clarify, being born poor is not bad, but deciding to stay poor and depend on others is a different story. What do you think will happen if 90% of the people decided to stay poor and only 10% decided to be wealthy? Chances are the boat will sink and it's unfair for those who want to make their lives better. Money is instrumental in being a good wealthy person whether we like it or not. If you still believe that money is root of all evil, then you are probably looking at money negatively, and you just might find it hard to flow into your hands. Stay positive about this, and you'll surely enjoy all the wonders it will do to your life.
