Money root of evil and root of fear

[wiss19]

It is in our nature to spoil each other. And money is the tool that gives some people success, because they tried for it, and others failure. I mean that all this is part of natural selection. And if we all become equal, and our skills and struggle among ourselves will not be counted in any way, then it will be very unnatural. Therefore, money is an absolutely natural tool that shows our success, and we cannot refuse it. And agree that it is better to get rich and live well than to work all your life and know that you will never get anything more than your allotted portion of food.

When you say spoil, it is like you are rewarding yourself. It is not wrong but as long as it is about good things only and then we must still do it in moderation. I won't say that it is in our nature because there are still people who are only humble and doesn't spoil their selves.

Success must be measured in different things and one of it is having money (lots of it) like you said. I feel bad or sorry about the people who are like that. That is because I also agree about what the OP is saying that money is the root of all evil.

You know, there are some who are able to do anything (including committing crimes) only to have money. If there are successful people, unfortunately there are also those who fail but it is fine because at least they have tried. They should move on and try their luck on other fields again. Indeed that god created each other to be unique and if let say not, then there will be no more challenges or thrill on living this planet. I'm sure that we will still complain 'more' and say that it was boring.

Nothing is permanent in this world and so as on working on a job but if we are still young, we only need to choose a job that really fit for us, so that we won't feel like we are working. Lastly, we can't have it all in life. We need to accept this sad reality.

I hear this in biblical preaching, and most interpretations of what is written in the holy book is not always gotten right. The writer may have a different perspective to it, but money is not by any means evil. Just that money could make people do things they never wanted to do in their entire life.

Removed the biblical passage and all of that, we should understand by now that money is not the root of all evil. Everyone wanted to get rich so that we can live comfortably with our kids and grand kids, in short build a generational wealth. But the thing is that no one can be that small percentage to build that wealth overtime. But we can still live a good life if we can earn and attract money that way we should be. So there is nothing wrong with money or it is being labeled as root of evil, it is not. And I have this belief that money is for everyone, and if we look at it, God gave it to us, we just need to know how to earn and used it wisely.

Money is just an object and paper that still has an exchange value and has a circulation time, what actually makes money evil is when we are enslaved by money where income is less than expenses, which in the end we will do anything to get money and greed will make money potentially evil. Because in essence money will always be lacking as long as we are not grateful where happiness is not always commensurate with money.

Try how many possessions our bodies have, would we exchange one of our eyes for one billion, try to count. So basically money is not a measure of happiness even though in the material world we always need money but if we can use common sense then money will come in a good way. Money is not always evil, if we are smart to be grateful at least having money can provide a sense of security to survive.

Money as root of evil and root of fear.
Maybe it's better If our goverments will just provide us food and housing and we rather own nothing at least we don't need to worry about getting more money more more more ....i think even those wealthy people are tired of chasing money together with other people in society.

Talking about evil do you think that there will not be any evil in the world if there was no money?, actually I don't even believe on such because even if life was very easy evil would have still existed because human being are hardly contempted with what they have so they will always project for more things, one thing you should also no is that if there was no money and we only depends on the government to give us houses and food the high rate of suffering would have even be more severe than how it is in most of the places because the government would have been treating people however they like because our chances of survival rest on there shoulder, so actually reasoning on my point of view money is never the roots of any problem or evil because it helps to reduce it a bit.

In the end, media is the way to control, they keep pumping news that are not huge, small very unimportant stuff, talked about for hours everyday for months, becoming big in peoples minds, so they do not focus on the big bad wolf.

If they let everyone be free, then the talks will all be about how the wealthy people are stealing from everyone and getting rich that way, every single company that is big, is doing one thing or another that is unethical to get there, something that makes us poorer, it doesn't matter which company, you name it and I will tell you what they are doing wrong to get rich, it's very clear, we just don't talk about it.

Just look at how football is made and the media tries to influence the public to be the center of attention and even the expectations of players who are bought are not in accordance with the high prices and all of that is influenced by the media in creating public opinion about a player. The media has a role to make something more known, that's why the journey process now cannot be separated from the media's game in creating opinions.

I want to listen to some media so that I have references and maybe you can explain how the Google company makes people dependent on the products they create. They set something up for a good purpose but there are still negative things that may arise for people who misuse it.

Instead of that the fair system will be judging person value by the merits of the person doing in society not just how wealthy they are or how good they are to take from others with super greed but instead of this how much they give to others in terms of their skills talents and knowledge.

What you propose, some countries have already tried to do, intending to build socialism, and then communism as the most just system of social organization. What this inevitably led to, we have recently witnessed: the stronghold of socialism - the USSR collapsed, burying this grandiose plan of human stupidity. At the same time, almost all socialist states slid down the path of authoritarianism, where justice remained only on paper.

 Perhaps humanity will return to something similar. But for this there must be a completely different level of consciousness and self-awareness, as well as the highest level of development of science and technology, which can lead to an abundance of material goods. But it is also possible that this will forever remain in the dreams of individual romantics.

You wrote correctly that success is measured by money. And unfortunately, this is true. And it means that of course the job we work at is very important. After all, at work (for those who work full-time) we spend a third of our lives. Therefore, if someone does not like his job, then half of his conscious state is simply wasted. But I have a questions: And if someone likes his job, but it is poorly paid?
Should such a job be changed to one where the earnings are high, but the work itself is unpleasant?

Money as root of evil and root of fear.

Because that is what we already put in our minds. But if we make our lives too simple and humble despite the great achievements we have, I'm certain this will never happen to us. We witness several changes happening around where we could really say that those who have money or rich people have too much power as well. They can make use of their wealth to control someone and follow what they have said.

Whether we agree or not, it is too difficult for now to live and survive without money, which is why people are working hard. Well, we could say that they have reasons, but I don't think it is enough for them to do foolish and stupid things. It was our greediness that drove us desperately.

Wanting something beyond one's ability of course they have to cheat to get it because they will never be able to get it reasonably so they commit crimes to achieve what they want and hope that the government will be able to fulfill all the needs that we need of course this is very impossible because there are many things that must be regulated by the government in order to run their government system properly and as you said there is truth they can make policies as they please because they have fulfilled all the needs that we need.

With money, it will indeed be able to fulfill every need that we need and it is also very impossible for money to be the source of various crimes that occur but everyone is fully responsible for the money they get and also how they get it.

[Davidvictorson]

Money is not the root of evil. There is so much greed in the hearts of humans and that is where evil emanates from not money. Money is only a medium of exchange. Money doesn't cause stress, inequality and loss of humanity rather it is people who cause stressful situations for other humans to have to deal with because of greed, they want to accumulate more than the others and so it leads to inequality because in doing so they oppress and suppress the weak in the society. Even if the government provides these basic amenities, social media and the world we live in would try to convince others that they are not living well enough because they don't have a car, or the latest of whatever is trending. I don't think AI can change the situation either. Humans created this mess and only humans can fix it.

[TastyChillySauce00]

Money is not the root of evil. There is so much greed in the hearts of humans and that is where evil emanates from not money.

definitely, it's the greed not the money, people want to hoard whatever precious thing that could guarantee their safety and apparently in this age this thing is money, since we can pretty much good anything from money.

but back then, kingdoms also hoarding foods, golds, and so on at the expense of other at some point, it's the same thing but with different tool.

the root of evil and the root of fear is always greed from the start, money as I already stated just a tool which can be abused or can be used for the benefit of other people.

so the statement is invalid.

[dansus021]

Money root of evil and root of fear the short answer is yes I mean money itself is two sides of a blade, Ever know about this "Money doesn't change people, it reveals them" with big money it reveal the true human is there is people who see money as a tool to help the other but there are many people using money as tool to do a bad things.

This is no secret but the truth is, the world we living in right now is not as beautiful as we imagined  . Tho about tax if government can self sustain without printing money they can help their own people

[Qiubell5]

Money is not the root of evil. There is so much greed in the hearts of humans and that is where evil emanates from not money.

Yes, in the explanation it is very understood, money is just an object whose use depends on us to spend it, or use it for good things or vice versa depending on the person who owns it, and that is a choice that we must understand with broader thinking.

And thats the danger if you would really be that making yourself that being too desperate on trying out to acquire things on which you are really that trying out to go into those non ethical or simply
committing crimes or non right doings just to get on what you do want. You will really that putting up yourself on such trouble and on the moment that you will be on such condition then this is where you would really be doing those realizations on which you should have done this earlier. Be contented on what you do have and never ever make yourself that too desperate on something that it is really that beyond your capacity.
The only main reason on why people do really commit out such step because they arent contented or simply having that kind of jealousy on what they could see from others. Money is really just that a tool and
regarding about being evil then the ones who do make use of it would be the ones would be considered whether they are using this tool on doing something evil. This is why on the time that something been busted out
when it comes to evil doing or criminality then it would be always tagged up with money involved on which this is really that very usual thing.

Yes, in the explanation it is very understood, money is just an object whose use depends on us to spend it, or use it for good things or vice versa depending on the person who owns it, and that is a choice that we must understand with broader thinking.

The only issue on here is on someones greediness on which people wont really be contented on what they do have. On the time or moment that they will really be on such situation on where
they wanted more then they would really be doing into those extreme heights and even if it means that doing something which is really not legal. They will really be just that trying out
to make those kind of realizations on the time that they will experiencing some issues or problems. Its really that important that you should really be sensible
on how to make use of money on the right and ethical way.

In addition to depending on the person who holds it and the person who will spend it where, money is also a means of exchange for everyone in this world where everyone can still use it to buy and also to make other great things in this world. However, we all must also understand that there is nothing more in money than just as a means of exchange when we want to buy something or when everyone wants to build something more useful. So besides depending on its use, money can also lose its value if the price of goods can continue to be expensive due to inflation or due to the purchasing power that continues to decline in the living environment.

It can be said that money is the cause, the catalyst that causes evil, that causes fear, but I do not think that it is the root of all those problems. If you are not greedy, selfish and jealous, you earn money with your own ability, you use money to help others...how can you say money is the root of evil? But if you are greedy, selfish, make money by harming others and use money for evil deeds...In this case, money only serves as a tool for you to carry out your evil deeds. The root of evil is you, it is your actions and thoughts that motivate you to use money to commit crimes.

Money is just a tool of exchange, an inanimate object created by humans to serve humans, how can it be the root of evil?

Money is really just that indeed a tool on which a human being do make use and the main purpose of it is to make use when it cones spending. Things do becomes that turns out to be bad on the time or moment
that you will really be making use of money in the wrong way or method or something which is really that non ethical. It will really be that become the root of evil on the time or moment that you would really be doing yourself having such kind of act on which you are making use of money in the other way around. Fear? It would really be just that become evident on the  time that you will really be doing such act.
Human beings are the ones who would really be having that kind of behavior when it comes to deal up on things on which arent that ethical and since they are financially capable then they could really do
on the things that they do want. It will really be just that basing up into someones intent on how they would gonna lead up their lives basing up into the ideas that comes up into their minds.

Yes I do think it is. The reason I consider money to be the root of all evil is because people will sell themselves for money. You can compare someone’s loyalty by offering money. It will truly question the persons integrity and also see how much a person is willing to sell themselves for money.

That is why money is evill because people will quickly sell you out for their financial gain. Another great example is someone who has escaped from prison and has a bounty on their head.

[mamesso]

As long as humans still have lust, they will do anything to get money. This proverb implies how important money is and that as a normal human being we must always try to get money to fulfill all our life needs. Money is just an inanimate object, its function depends on the person who uses it. If money is in the hands of good people, then the money will be used for positive things, and vice versa.

Human greed has changed everything, they never care about the norms of goodness in life, as long as their desires have not been achieved, they will do anything to get money. Money never sides with anyone, but due to misuse, the term "Money is the root of evil and the root of fear" arose.

What about people who use money to help others? There are many people who are donating money or even spending their own money to help people in need, the poor...so is money the root of good things in this case? And is there anything evil in this case?

Money is just a tool, a measure of value that we use, and whether it is used for good or bad purposes depends entirely on each person, it is not the root of anything. When you do evil, it is because you cannot control your desires, or when you do good, it is because your goodness is awakened. So it can be said that the root of evil is our own desires.

The OP got the quote very wrong because the right statement is that "the love of money is the root of all evil". It is when people love money more than anything they will be willing to do the impossible to get it. If you love humanity more than money, you will not kill to make money neither will you harm others because of money. Money is good and necessary to make life worthwhile but we must gauge our desire for it so that it does not overtake our sense of justice, becloud our heart and replace our value system. As long as these limits are kept intact, money will always be used for what it is meant for.
