Theme – Money = Evil?

Is money the root of all evil?

No, money isn’t the root of all evil. It’s a catalyst. The root of evil lies within humans themselves and is brought out by a myriad of catalysts. Money is just one of the more common ones as it has become a focus of capitalistic societies. Money makes the world go round, but it also turns men(and women) into ‘evil’ beasts.

That’s why I try to keep from taking money seriously. Or take it in context, noting how much I’m better off than much of the world’s population. I might not be a man of grand means, but I’m comfortable with my pittance and the small luxuries it allows me.

Bravo! We need more people in thsi country who understand that money cannot buy happiness, rather we create our own happiness.

We also need more people that understand that while money is a catalyst for evil and does not necesarily bring happiness, it is human nature that causes evil, not the money itself.
