Money root of evil and root of fear

[bubilas]

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.

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?

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.

However, money is money, and we live in a world where a person is nothing without money. Try to explain to women that a man means something without a good income. You will never succeed. And that is right!
After all, women look at those who can support a family. They do not need a slacker who does not set goals for himself. A man whose only skill is to say beautiful words is a useless member of society, and you need to be able to see opportunities and develop your skills.
Money really does make you happy. It speeds up reality. It is not evil, but a tool that makes you truly free.

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.

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.

Well, yes there is rich people that does help others. They can do work for a charity and give it for a donation. But I do not think all of the rich people do this. If all the rich people in the world did give some of away there would not be such poverty and poor people everywhere.

Maybe I will seem like an evil person, but I want you guys to understand me correctly: I am against donations to people on the streets. I do not like those who stand with an outstretched hand, these people should go and work, and not idle.
My neighbor on the floor is an 86-year-old grandmother, and she still works! She says that she cannot imagine life without work. And therefore, when my rich friend gives money to people on the streets, it makes no sense. He feels like a lord, but in this way he will solve his pride, and not change the world for the better.

It is not only the rich who help others, many poor people are still trying to help poorer people and that shows that money is not the root of all evil. That is why I disagree with your statement that money is the cause and root of everything while many people are using money for good purposes.

On the matter of helping, I agree with what bubilas said: helping the poor or homeless needs to be done in the right place and to the right people. We should not expect the rich to help all the poor while they are lazy or addicts...Moreover, their wealth comes from their own efforts, hard work and sacrifice, why should they help lazy people or people who like to depend on others?

I am glad that you agree with me.
I want to say that what irritates me most is when young guys come to me and ask for money. And I know what they are thinking. Their way of life is simple: they once told themselves that they would not work on principle and would remain "free". So why should I, who am bound by many responsibilities and concerns with the prefix "need to do, can't rest" help them with my money? I will find 100 ways to spend this money, and I will not feel pleasure if I give my money to such lazybones.

The need for money in the world is great, but most of the wrongdoing is done for this money.  Requirement of money for living is very much without money life is stagnant.  So man earns money by his talent and labor.  Today the measure of man's honor is his money.  The more money he has, the more respected he is.

This wasn't the case back in the day but also was the case at the same time. People that are rich were a bit more warm hearted, while also having slaves at the same time. Loo kat the middle ages, there were people who imported slaves from other continents, but also there were people who became patron to people like michelangelo or leonardo da vinci as well.

Today, a painter who just wants to paint all day everyday has two options, either they get famous and get some money, or they starvation. Nobody suggests their kids to be a painter anymore, nobody lets people to do whatever they want to do, we all judge everyone's life based on how much money they make. It's like a games leaderboard, the more money you have, the higher you get in leaderboard.

People would prefer you being a lawyer making 10k dollars a month, over some starving artist who makes insanely good art but only make 500 dollars a month. This is why we are not seeing good artists as much as we used to .Loo kat the tv shows you watch today, there are so few that are good, and many keep saying how there is more politics in tv shows now, and how people are sharing agenda, why do you think that is?

Because people with agenda gets paid by those politicians and their lobbies as well, nobody does it just to say something anymore. Money became an issue that prevents people doing what they love doing and because of that I think we are not seeing anything decent.

Certainly, money is important in order to meet the basic amenities of life but I do not agree with all my heart that the only yardstick to measure a person's dignity is by his money. A person's dignity, a person's worth cannot be equated just in terms of material wealth. There are a lot of people who have riches in terms of their principles, in terms of their benevolence, in terms of positive contribution towards society even though they may not be wealthy. Money can buy comfort, but not all the time can money bring real happiness or respect. Respect is enjoyed by many people because of their character and values and not because they are wealthy enough. In addition, an excessive focus on wealth as a sign of dignity can make us lose sight of really important things such as human relations that lead to happiness and inner contentment. A great deal a lot more rich individuals are feeling empty or separated from others because they are running after material belongings without taking proper care about other equally significant spheres within life.

No worries, as long as you do not have the love for money above everything else, I believe you are fine.  Money is not the root of all evil but the love for it above everything is.  Money in itself is neutral, there is no wrong in acquiring wealth as long as it comes from honest work. 

In terms of people begging for some money on the street, we may see them as lazy and I agree most of them are but there are really some people who have nothing and is in need.  I think it is better to identify who truelly needs the help and who is not.
This money being the root of evil is just a misconception of people who read or heard some verses in the scripture and not fully understand or knowing the full verse of it.

the highly consumptive society incentivizes having more money.

some people even said that we can easily make money when we have money but we can hardly make money without money, i think this words is the truth in today's society,  that's why if you want to make money start grinding.
but I also have the idea that money is not necessarily root of evil and fear, it's more precisely the natural resources that's become the root of evil and root of fear because money is just a paper that represents value, where value derived is from these natural resources, and even since before century, people already trying to get as much natural resources as they can.

After all, women look at those who can support a family. They do not need a slacker who does not set goals for himself. A man whose only skill is to say beautiful words is a useless member of society, and you need to be able to see opportunities and develop your skills.

During dating, poetic words are the main factor that must be possessed in order to be said to be romantic by our prospective partner. .

However, if after marriage there are already additional family members, sweet words are no longer needed and our spouse wants to prove for himself that his husband has prepared all the necessities of their family trip, both education, health and others well and better long before the two of them have a family.

If you are someone whose really that good when it comse into sticking into your plans then this is something which is really that recommending or something that will really be that much prefer.
Its true that if  you are someone who dont have money.job,plans would really be considered as a useless person and this is something which is really that obviously that money is something that
you do really need up for  you to survive this life. There are people who do say that money cant buy happiness on which this is something which other people would really be opposes even me.

Who do heck would really be able to survive this shit economical stake on which everything is really that becoming that too expensive on which it do really simple shows that you would really be needing up
to have that money or savings in bank for you to be able to save up yourself.If you are someone who cant really be able to bare up such condition then you are really just that making yourself having
a hard time even just on using up some personal gains on whatever you are dealing with then this is preferrable rather than on doing nothing at all. The main issue for most people is that
they do become contented on what they do have, its not bad on being contented but making having no or less actions will really be not leading you nowhere.

The fear that money is finish all the time could be the reason why we live in very stressful and depresive world.
We can say that that's way how it is but we haven't tried different ways.

it requires money to live comfortably in today's world. If the government had assisted in setting up the right system in place so that you don't need to think too much about what will happen if you cease to work in your current job worry too much when things become a bit deficult for you, it would have been much better.

Money is not the root of all evil but rather, the love for too much money is the root of evil. When you make it look like you must acquire wealth by all means, it's at that point that evil thought starts springing in your mind and you can then go on to execute all the unthinkable tendencies that's in your mind just to make money. The government has a role to play in making life more easy and comfortable so you don't leave your life as though it's all about making money but if you build the right foundation and get the necessary skills, you will make easy money and wouldn't have to rely on the amenities the government can give you as an aid that will lessen the load of making money by all means.

Yea every human need money to live a convenient life as you have said already, everything in this world involves money except the air breath because our maker can decide to take it anytime and we can't question him for that, people are really bothered about there family well being as such they can involve in many things to keep being able to provide for their family, the system is very porous and this is the antics of our leaders to keep impoverishing the masses in other to subject them in being powerless to react to  whatever thing they do, it is normal for someone to get bothered when he sees himself not being able to get it right financially but the thing is that no matter how you bother yourself things will only get better when you are on the right track, lucky and highly favoured by your maker.

The government in different level has not been up to their duty especially in the African continent where the leader has not fair to their citizens, although I believe things will get better in Africa someday but it will take time because of the type of greedy and self centered leader that exist there but it would have been better for us to have a society thats free of crime because of the ability of individuals to afford their basic needs even though they are not earning much.

In conclusion, money is not the root of all evil rather the mind of men should be considered as the root of all evil because money didnt cause the action of you being evil but your thoughts did, for instance a poor man don't need money to do evil things rather he thinks about it and carry out the action based on desperation, though poor people can go extra mind to get money because of their situation but whatever a man does it is not actually the money that led to it, the action of every man is as a result of his mindset.

I believe that there is only one true view of money and how to earn it. And it is that you need to do what you love and love what you do.
Only then will people see this in such a sincere desire and it will attract money. I think that those who are engaged in some business but do not love it will never make this business successful economically. Somehow society feels sincerity and professionalism, and all this affects whether they are ready to come to such a person for services or goods.

What you said is not wrong because I personally have also felt the need for money which is increasing day by day and also seen rich people who are more respected because of their money even though the rich people do not have more knowledge in their lives. But ordinary people like us must continue to seek more knowledge while earning money through the work we master because this can at least slightly outperform rich people in the knowledge sector even though it does not outperform them in the financial sector.

We live in a society where money is the top priority and people judge each other based on how much money they have. Those who have more money will always be more respected and what they say is always right and accepted by everyone as a matter of course.


No matter how you make money or how you get it, as long as you are richer than others, you will be treated completely differently than those who are poorer.

Humans created money to serve us but we do the opposite, we run after money and worship it more than anything in the world.

One might even say money is the god in today’s world. People literally worship money. The more you have it, the more you get close to money god.

When you think about it Elon Musk and Warren B. are pretty godly beings too.

Elon sending rockets to space and dating hot girls. Tell me another guy that does it. This is as godly as one can become.

And don’t let me start talking about Trump.

The man dodged a bullet for fucks sake. God Emperor Trump.

It might be right to say that not all rich people have a lot of knowledge but usually people who succeed in achieving wealth in their lives are those who have knowledge that is one of their capital in achieving that wealth. And that is a common thing in life, but the point is yes I also quite agree with your opinion that the most important thing is to dedicate yourself to seeking knowledge, like the saying "study even to China" means gain as much knowledge as possible because usually when you have a lot of knowledge and experience then money will follow you, do not feel inferior with the success or success achieved by others, take the positive side like making other people's success a great motivation for us to keep moving forward.

Unfortunately making same money doesn't even cover half of what we need back in the day. We are trying to do better, but we can't really do better and because of that we just end up being poorer. Not all of us can afford to find some other job, it's something that we are stuck with and we just learn to live with smaller and smaller life.

These days, all I do is eat, work, watch tv and sleep, I do nothing else to make sure that I do not spend more. I paid for my vacation and I am already in debt for three months, think of how poor you have to be for something like that. I think it's clear that we are going to end up with much more trouble if we are not careful at all. This is why I believe that we need to consider this as a big problem.

We need to focus on doing something that makes more sense, if we could just avoid spending more, and find some good income from crypto investments, then we could get lucky and maybe save ourselves from this poverty.

By investing, it can be relied on, at least there is a change that we feel for the future, with the increasing number of needs that we need, that is what is always thought about, there are many solutions to overcome it and that can force someone to take steps for the future for the desired progress.
