It is often said that the biggest difference between the rich and the poor has it origin from the mindset.
One major question that always borders me is "are we created with different mindset at birth and what role does environmental factors have to place on mindset of an individual".
Ubong King said "what you see determine the level of your achievement. The rich man orientation differs from the poor man orientation because While the rich man is thinking about wealth creation and self dependence, the poor is busy thinking how evil money is with the notion that money is the root of all evil hence they prefer to be poor than miss the Kingdom of God forgetting that our heavenly father who is rich expect us to take after him. Consider this,
"IS MONEY THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL?"

You are right that we were created with different mindset at birth.We grew up in different families and different environments, but I think that we can change our conscience and choose other variants compared to those that our parents laid in us.
For example my parents also consider money to be the root of all evils, and they don’t approve of my interest in crypto, but I don’t worry about this and just earn money here.

Remove money from our lives, and then you will know what real evil is!

The mentality of a poor man is based on the fact that what he lacks in life, while the more successful have something evil. For him money is evil, for him beautiful things, jewelry, good equipment or a car are also evil. Because he is NOT ACCESSIBLE. This is a legacy of primitive thinking, among people who are not able to force themselves to change ...

Yup, Money is just a tool of transaction which is legal to be a medium of payment and exchange. I dont agree if a tool is blamed as the root of problem. For example, when the motorcycle and car was invented then the amount of accident is large, whather the car or the motorcycle is the root of problems? is it true? I don't think so

Money can't be the root of evil but the love of it. Once you get entangled with making money at all cost you begin to nurse diverse ideas in your mind and since there is this desperation in your heart you wouldn't mind what it will cost you to make the money even if a life has to go in for it you no longer care because all you can picture is you having the money in your possession. Money is actually a good thing and a proof of fulfilment but the love there off has landed a whole lot into unimaginable activities.

It's actually the "Love of Money" that is the root of all evil. I forgot to correct you on that.
If it makes you happy, you will love it and desire it more.. . More like being addicted to something that makes you happy, which could make you go to any length to have more of it.

For the love of money is a root of all
kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. - 1 Timothy 6:10

People should remember it's Love of Money is the root of all evil. That makes sense because loving money or being too attached to it can make you do all sort of immoral things to keep acquiring more.
The irony of blaming this on the poor is that they (lots of the poor) seems to work harder than rich and are paid little (or they charge little) for their services.

money is powerful in all things , but if it is said to be the root of evil , I do not think so . because money is only an intermediary of the thoughts of people who have the nature of envy. and don't want to be rivaled, so the root of the crime is the man himself, opens money

yes it is true because basically it is as a means of transaction in life, only that nothing more.
What makes money very important in life is of course human intervention and consciously or unconsciously, humans as facilitators make money depend on their desires and one of them is money as a crime itself.
but of course not everyone who does this is only the thought of bad people who do it because of course everyone is certainly not all good and not all bad

I agree with what you said about the difference between rich and poor is about mindset. If a person set a positive mindset everything can fall into place. Most poor are stuck on poverty because of their negative mindset and because of that they limit themselves in anything that they can do. And just to survive a day without thinking about tomorrow, thats where evilness came in.

"IS MONEY THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL?"

Well if you asked me about this ten years ago I will absolutely say "No". It's not the root of evil but its their negative mindset, thier point of views. But now, when many things change, when the price of our daily needs increases but the income stays the same, when the people in power got greedier, corrupt and abusive, when poor was always neglected and not accepted on jobs just because of their background, and specially this pandemic that make people desperate, I can say that money is the number 1 root of evil. Many people can never resort on doing bad to have money if everyone has given a chance with equality and given more options.

The root problem is mentality of the person and his nature because I have seen many people who has bag loads of money with them and still down to earth and showing they are just as common to you.But sometimes people don't have much money but their minds always play dirty games and they do some robbery or kill someone.Money is just a source which can be used both in a positive and negative manner but it depends upon the user how he utilities it.Warren Buffet and others on rich list are not indulging into any dirty politics or cheap crimes.It is our greed and Nature which forces us to do evil things.

Indeed. It was really the mentality of a person and it's nature because what they have seen by other's, they might do it also or copy it. Today's society is governed by money and through money people become rich and poor and as we can observe, in every activity there is a corruption through money. Money is not the root of all evils because there are lot of poor people that even they don't have a lot of money but they are happy with the presence of their family. Some people use money on bad deeds. Money is only a means. It is neither good or bad in itself. You can decide to pay someone to do bad deeds or you can contribute to charitable causes.

People say such kind of stuff because with money you can afford fancy vacations and other things of life.
According to what I have experienced and seen is people being careless with life, such as some one buying a fast car and they push to the limit and it ends up taking their life, and the conclusion to this sad ending is somone having money. Of course not everyone is playful but to some extent this brings the evil thoughts to people.

Money is not the source of all evils. The source of all evils comes from the serious imbalance in the distribution of wealth in this world. Some unstable factors will definitely occur. Some developed countries are rich and you can't reach them. Some countries are poor and make people think that the world is purgatory. And such polarization will cause serious psychological deformities in many people.

Bitcoin at least allows me to see that a part of the proletariat has achieved a class leap through the blockchain.This is the best opportunity I currently see to realize part of the wealth to be redistributed.
You can understand how the rich suppressed Bitcoin.
I believe that Bitcoin will have a dramatic impact on the world's finances, and no one can change his progress.

The Buddha once explained that the root of evil is neither money nor lack of money. The root of evil is human greed. We have encountered many examples in life. There is a state official who is still doing corruption, taking people's rights, etc. They have a big salary though.

There are so many external reasons, why is money the root of all evil? Because money has the conditions for exchange with any commodity and is legal. On the one hand, money is a symbol of wealth. Money has unlimited influence. It can arouse people's greed. Another reason is that money is limited, and people's greed can never be satisfied. It is for this reason that people's conflicts can be aroused.

It just depends on everyone who uses it. when people treat money as a tool for evil yes it will be like that but when people hurt it as commonplace as is often the case, i think money is evil.
what makes money evil is that some people use the money for crime and fraud.
even if we are rich or poor it is not a benchmark and you cannot judge that every poor person considers money as the root of evil.
if you think that all poor people imagine this you are certainly too naive because basically there is no difference between poor people or rich people what distinguishes them is the mindset and without us realizing the thread you mention is like creating a dividing wall between the poor and the rich which makes all poor people so bad in their image

Money as was stated above is a tool.. So imagine instead of dollars, shovels...

Money is the nature that gives rise to different nuances such as greed, envy, jealousy, ...etc, money also divides people. Humans cannot live and survive without money, so creating and using money is almost a necessity. that's the damn thing of society. Money creates happiness and also kills people. The power of money is scary from which we cannot escape. Money is also the reason for the loss of fairness. Money - a tool

- When you have such an analysis, I can only accept that money is becoming the source of many problems, especially the darkest and most negative sides in life, money may not have its own intentions or voices but it is the bright spot in the dark faces of the poor, a rare bright spot and made the poor ignore their morals and pure souls. Maybe some people will preserve their morality and way of life in front of the money but it's just that they haven't been brought to the frontier of poverty and struggle, just fall into that line, morality and everything will be corrupted by money

You don't love money.. You love the things that the money gets you...

What the phrase is trying to teach is that YOU DO NOT LOVE MONEY.. Money is an inanimate object. It is a lesson on seeing through the bullcrap that the state tries to brainwash you with.. Chasing money.... And after a while you forget what the money was for in the first place.

Enjoying life. Bettering yourself and others.. Using the TOOL that money is.. You don't love your shovel.. You love the house you built with it. You don't love your hammer, you love the fact that you were able to put a roof on your neighbors house after a storm.

For the love of money-- is a warning.

I personally think so. Money is the source of all evil, but the source of all evil itself does not necessarily have to be evil. As long as it is rational, it can distinguish right from wrong. There are some factors that make us lose ourselves in the face of money and forget our own nature. That is the magic of money.
No matter how we understand the definition of money, the source of all evils is not always produced by money. Where there are people, there are benefits, and where there are benefits, they will cause all struggles. No matter what society, people will chase benefits. This behavior is The essence of mankind will not be obliterated.

Greed, envy and mental trauma are the roots of evil, everything other are just instruments. For example before money appeared, people cheat and kill for food not only because they were hungry, but because they felt jealous. Or rich man, who does not care about money anymore, act bad. And even if a person acts bad, there is no way he does it because "he is just bad", he does it because of past mental trauma.

Everyone does something of course there is a goal to be achieved, and usually will benefit themselves. so it is not surprising that people for a purpose can do cruel things to other human beings. It's not just greed that underlies it, but there are also those who, because they really need it, are desperate to commit crimes, for example, if a hungry person needs food to treat it, there will be various ways to do it.
