In your country, today is money the real root of all evil?

[Bananington]

Hence, it is not “the money” but “the love of it” that is the root of all evil.

But can anyone say that they really do not love money, can they empty their bank accounts and not car about it simply because they have no love for money? I do not think so. Because of the position and how important money has made itself to be in our society, it is difficult to not love money. To have money, you must love it. The danger is to try not love it too much that you are willing to do evil to get it.

[S A KHAIR]

Human nature is the root of all evil in this world, human greed, everyone wants a lot of money, so he is willing to do anything to get it. Money is just a tool for us to use, don't blame it when our behavior is the cause of it all. Money is created by people, and people kill each other to get their hands on money.

[Negotiation]

The real cause of evil is greed and envy almost everything can be bought with money but the feelings of the world beyond the material things like respect love beneficence motherhood friendship etc. are never available in exchange of money is definitely needed in life. Money can't buy you happiness directly, but money can buy things that will make you happy we must avoid greed.

Sometimes what we want to use the money for can make it seem to be the root of evil even how we get the money, our mindset on how to get the money can be the cause of it too. If we have everything in life I see no reason why we should look for a different way of getting money to satisfy our need, if you're broke you can have the mindset of going into stealing or maybe using someone for money ritual, you can as well cheat to get a bigger share of money too, so for me is how we think that makes it look like money is the root of all evil.

Money has Never, ever, been the root of all Evil.

People are the root of all Evil.   

Get that in to your head right now.   There is No "Thing" that is the cause.  Except for humans.   We are the cause.   


We are also the solution.

Peoples greediness to get more money is the reason why they became evil since they are willing to do all just to earn that money and money is just a tool to anyone its just they mis concept  and blame this for other who became evil due to this reasons.If people thinks fairly and afraid of consequences of their actions for sure they will not commit any money related crime.

Is money the real root of all evil in today's society

I think I will support this with the present situation of my country. Due to the rate of poverty here, everybody including the young ones are in search of money in all ways. Some are ready to do anything because of money. Imagine pastors involving in crime just for money. It is also said that ones true character is not known when you are poor. In some cases, when you have much money, you behave as if you are the only person in the world.

If we're talking about the people running the country, the government, they are evil because they are pocketing the nation's money. That's obvious because there is a lot of luxurious stuff that a government official with a salary cannot afford, and many people have bribed the government to let things "slide"; hence the money came from to buy stuff.

The evil part is where people are addicted to money, or the love of money, in this case, causing the "evil actions." It's important to know that money isn't an evil thing; it's people who do the evil deeds.

The one who uses the money is the real evil for me. But sometimes I agree that money if everything, if you want power you need money. This is based on what we are experiencing here in our country. If you don't have money you are nothing to the society, justice is nothing only rich people can have justice. It is quite frustrating sometimes that these people especially government can help people by using the government money the people's money but then they are using it to use with their own personal purposes.

Money can affect everything, even money can turn corruption prisoners free out of prison to watch sports matches abroad, so money will be dangerous if it is trusted by greedy managers of wealth, especially corruptors from the government because they cannot buy luxury homes, cars and much more from salary except for corruptors from the tax money charged to the people. But if the money belongs to a philanthropist then whoever works for him will be given a high salary because they care about your welfare so you get a decent salary for your monthly income, I have experienced that we need more philanthropists to reduce poverty

The extent of how people are fascinated with the POWER of money, is what creates evil, in my opinion. Everyone is a good person but there are just factors which makes them not and that includes money; greed, selfishness, frustration, grudge and the likes. Mentioned emotions creates actions of how an individual will satisfy a certain emotion. Needy individuals would make way to fill their tummy, in any way possible. Rich ones would continue desiring to be more reach because they are aware of what they can do with more money. But if it is a general question whether money is the root of ll evil, it is people I guess. We are all different.

As Dave Ramsey says, the money will make you more of what you already are. If depressed, you will become more depressed. If you are an alcoholic, guess what? But if you have a big good heart, you can even change the world. So it's not the money that's the problem, it's people's intentions and values that drive their actions with money.

I hiighly agree, it all depends on the heart of who is holding that money.  It is the person's intention on what to do with the money.  It was stated that it is the love for money that makes people wicked and do dirty things to acquire them.  Money is just a tool, the evil one is the person using that tool.

This is highly misunderstood verse from the Bible because people tends to cut phrases and forgot the lines before it or don't even bother to understand at all.

What's happening in your country is happening to all the other countries, it's all the same because it all comes from people. I won't blame money, but human behavior. It is greed, the growing selfishness of people, that has created the distance, the distinction is measured in money. Thereby making everyone think that to be respected by others, you must have more money than them. The root of evil is the human heart, not money or inanimate things created by humans.

Blaming money is the easy way out, if money was so bad as to be the source of all the antisocial behaviors exhibited by humans, if we banned money would those people stop their criminal behavior?

And we do not have to go through the trouble of banning money to know the answer, money is a recent invention and those behaviors have always been there, what we need to do as a society is to give more opportunities to the poor and during the last decades the rate of extreme poverty decreased, but the pandemic increased this number again and we have yet to recover from it.

Without even being told by Dave Ramsey, money does not create any problems in this world and is also not the source of any problems in this world. Because all the problems that occur in this world are based on the intentions and desires of people who live in this world with various goals in their hearts, including for the purpose of adding wealth by accumulating more money.

So the first trigger for every problem is human beings with myriad desires, not money. Because money was created to be a medium of exchange or a means of payment even though it can be used to solve every problem in this world. So in general I also agree with what Dave Ramsey said about money.

Nope.

If you ban money or fiat, people will use gold to store their wealth. Next we will see many people will blame gold is the root of evil.

If you ban gold, people will use house, land, garden and animal to store their wealth. A rich people will have many houses and land, also they have a long yard full of garden and animal to consume for their daily life.

What do you think the poor people who only have small yard and don't know how to expand their garden? they will become a criminal by steal the vegetable and animal from the rich.

I get it. It's really annoying when those in authority use their position for their personal benefit. It's not only politicians that engage in this behavior; major organizations and corporations may be just as corrupt.

A lack of ethics and principles seems to be at the heart of the problem, since these individuals appear to look out just for themselves. That's why it's crucial for people to be informed about politics and demand accountability from their leaders. We need to be morally grounded and willing to challenge convention when doing so is necessary.

However, it must be kept in mind that not all people in authority are corrupt. Numerous individuals do their best to improve their neighborhoods because they care deeply about such places. Just that the actions of those who don't tend to eclipse those of those who do.

Quote
I do not think so, it’s like saying we don’t 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.

The inept use of certain means always leads to sad consequences.
A kitchen knife is a murder weapon. Weapon for defense - becomes a weapon for murder. Money is used for illegal purposes and deeds... And so it is with everything. Money is not evil! evil when they are used by criminals!
And all these fairy tales "money is evil." Before money, gold was evil, before that - breeding stallions, and even earlier skins and pieces of iron. Any object or entity turns into evil only by the person himself!
PS I always laugh heartily when priests of the Russian Orthodox Church, dressed from head to toe in gold and driving the most expensive cars, tell the parishioners of their churches that "prosperity and wealth is evil" ))

Is money the real root of all evil in today's society

If according to my conclusion that money does not cause evil, what causes evil is from the way of thinking that actually uses money and the heart of the user of money itself. Because money can be someone can give orders, want to be ordered to commit a crime can and can be ordered to do the right thing too. So what is wrong is not money or money is not the source of crime. The money wasn't wrong. What's wrong is the person using it.

In my own opinion, I think money is not he root of all evil.

But the love of money is the root of all  evil.

Most people will have money but they don't no what they want to use it for and they might be using it to intimidate others who don't have.
