Topic: Is money the root of all evil as the poor to thinks? - page 2. (Read 1461 times)
Not money, but the root of all evil in the barbaric thinking of man. Money only increases a person's abilities, but the tendency to do bad things is entirely a matter of human psychological thinking. Too much money causes pride and arrogance in people and causes them to engage in various evil deeds. Money only creates opportunities for these bad deeds, but it does not teach people to do all these bad deeds. So it can be said that money does not motivate people to do bad deeds but it is human nature to cause it. So you can’t completely say that money is the root of all evil.
Money is not the root of all evil. Everyone thinks that it is the root of all evil because human dominance makes money the root of all evil.
Wouldn’t it be a bit simple to use money to judge people’s good and evil?
Everyone likes money, and no one dislikes money. It is because some people are too greedy to make wrong choices, and because greedy chooses to commit crimes to get money, but this is only a part of people. Not all people do things or thoughts that hurt others because of money.

This is generally a misconception. But, well, it depends on how you interpret it. Basically, it presupposes that people are doing everything for money itself. I mean, they are willing to cheat for money, step on someone's toes for money, even kill for money. That's what we see everyday. Wealthy people are shirking tax responsibilities. Government officials, although already rich, are into corruption and plundering the nation's wealth. Law enforcers are accepting bribes. Companies are not paying staff and worker well. On the ground, ordinary people are also doing their own stealing and cheating for money.
But I personally don't think this is all about money itself. It is more about people than money. I mean, yeah, money could make you do whatever you want, but it's one thing to have lots of it and feel empty and another to have just enough and feel genuinely satisfied.
You are absolutely correct with all the points you mentioned, but I also think that it is all about money. Whether you "have lots of it and feel empty and another to have just enough and feel genuinely satisfied" is a different thing altogether. The main problem as you have said is, people will go the nine-yard to do anything for money. Family members, community friends are beginning to see others as failures if they don't have money. When you have everyone is your friend and once it's gone, even your closest will ditch you. The spark for everything is that money, whether you do good or evil with it or you are satisfied with what you have or not is also a different case in IMHO but, money will always be at the beginning of it all.

Money is not all evil, so we can't generalize money in this way. I think people yearn for money because it brings happiness to people and is a tool to create happiness. It depends on our personal thoughts, what is the original intention of using it, and what is the purpose.
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
Money is naturally what everyone yearns for. Money is not the source of all evil. Money is only an indispensable tool for people in social life. It depends on the person who uses it. It should not be an item that can only be controlled. Define whatever you want.
Money makes people have some desires. These desires must also be divided into good and evil. This desire promotes some evil behaviors. Therefore, talents are the root of controlling desires, and human desires are the source of all evil.

No money is not the root, its the human behaviour his own thinking and his manners. How a person is being tought by his/her parents is the way he reacts.
Yes money brings attitude in persons and he start to become rude with poor ones, but its not the money its his manner, a rich person can also be humble with poor ones.

The hatred is not for the money, but towards the rich (i.e successful) people. And the politicians are to be blamed for this hatred. In order to polarize the population, the politicians have made the poor to believe that the rich people are exploiting them and they are the reason why the poor still live in such abject condition. If you look at the left-wing politicians from around the world, you can see that this is the classic methodology used by them. Poor people are emotionally driven, and many of them believe in this BS.
Money isn't the root of all evil, because if so why would they ask for it in church? I think people are innately evil, it's just that because of money, it allowed them to do evil deeds in a much larger scale than let's say what a poor could only do. A poor person wouldn't be able to commit tax fraud and money laundering, a poor person wouldn't be able to commit murder and get away with it. A poor person wouldn't be able to step on other poor people because after all they are in the same social class. So for me money isn't the root of all evil, humanity is born evil, and money just enables them to channel that evil in more ways.
Is it really evil If you "Love" to earn more money? (In a decent way) like most successful businessmen does?
Because for me, I think the other way around.
"The lack of money leads to an evil deeds." I mean literally.
When a person lacks of money, he can do several crimes such as stealing, selling drugs, and other illegal activities that involves huge sum of money.
A humble advice, you don't need to make 3 separate consecutive posts in one thread. It'll only look like you're flooding.
Loving money for me isn't really evil and I would have to agree with you on that. Everyone would love to be able to put food on the plate without having to worry the next day, everyone would love to be enabled. It's how you use that money that makes you evil or not. Charitable institutions accept money for noble causes and of course they love money but we don't go around telling them they are evil (well, except for PETA).
Sure it was mentioned.. But the correct phrase is NOT the above but rather.
BUT FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY is the root of all evil.. Kind of makes a big difference.

I think that it actually depends on the person. Because not every person who has a lot of money goes crazy and start doing bad things. Or not every person does everything for a big amount of money. But it's also true that a big amount of money have the power to be able to change even someone's character. So I think that it's really a complicated thing.
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?"

I once believed this myth but I have realised, over time, that it is just a misconception that has been passed down through history that makes it seems real and true.
Money is a means and it is neutral. It is neither bad nor good. What makes money good or bad is the purpose for which it is used. If I used for my money for a bad or wrong purpose, that would make it bad. However, if I use it for good, say charity, then it is good.
I also found out that it is only a mentality that keeps the poor poor. Go check and you'd realise that no rich person has this mentality.
I think this is not just about money, but the mindset of the user of the money. If you will use your money to do harm to others, then it's surely an evil thing. But if you will help those who are badly needed, i think you are using money as a tool to create good deeds and serve humanity to mankind.

And before you go launching into some diatribe about this being communist or socialist.. I AM ONLY TALKING ABOUT THE SHOVEL...
With a shovel you can dig a hole and help build yourself or your neighbor a house.. You can dig for gold. You can give it away to someone else if they give you a small part of whatever great thing they were going to do with it..
But you can't get anything if you just fucking sit on the shovel. You have to work with it to get the reward..
OR.. You can just bash your neighbor over the head with it and take their shit(@WAR)...

If the shovels are equitably distributed about the system, lots of work gets done.. But if you allow shovels to be hoarded by a small number of people, suddenly work comes to a stop and people now have to work to get the shovels first before they can actually do what they wanted to do in the first place...
That is our system... Shovels are hoarded by the elites(not the rich).. constantly devaluing any shovels you have in the banks by creating fake(inflationary) shovels which aren't real. And when you think you have a shovel and go to use it, you realize you only have 10% of a shovel and you have to go and find 90% more of a shovel to do the fucking thing you wanted to do in the first place.

It's just that some people, on the contrary, earn a lot of money precisely because they are evil, ruthless to their neighbor, have not the best moral principles and nothing can be done about it if it happened completely within the law. Also, do not forget that everything in this world is relative and it is not always possible to say with great confidence where the border lies between thrift and greed, good and evil. Much also depends on the cultural attitudes of the society in which we live, a specific time, a specific country and region. In different places and cultures, the same things can be both approved and condemned.
The bad part is that it is easier to make money that way as well, I understand the insides of a person who want to make money the easy way without caring about what happens to others. I could just start a project today that is basically a ponzi scheme but in the end I would make it look like it is not, then I could convince a million people to participate in it and suddenly be super rich.I really could do that, at the school I studied there were teachings of how to spot a ponzi scheme (or many other schemes) and not fall for it, however that also allows people to learn about what people look for when spotting it and covering those bases as well so you learn to be a scammer technically, or how scammers get caught to be more precise. Why don't I do it? Because I am not a shitty person who wants to steal money from others, that is literally the only thing that keeps me away from it.
Maybe not at all cause I've observed in some poor in there that living in the high way maybe they just suffered and living Vulnerable scenario cause they know already that they live in a risk place but besides there's status their hard work and perspective that they can eat 2 times or 1 time in a day are still remains and they never think and evil deeds.
The reality is that humanity is evil, and for some reason people do not see that, the more power you give someone the more evil they usually become. Of course there are exceptions to this, of course there are people who are not evil, even if they get a lot of money, but most of the time there are evil all around the world. Sometimes it is evil like Chinese dictator killing Muslims because he can level of horrible evil, but sometimes "I avoided tax because others too and this caused poor in my nation to be even worse" level of evil.It is cultural as well, in some nations doing small or even big evil things are seen as something okay, in other nations it seems horrible and looked down on, depends where you live. Trump for example came out and defended his 750 bucks tax return and others defended him too, do that in Germany and you would be considered crazy and a psychological evaluation would be done to you. So it is not about money, money just shows the evil inside of you to other people.

Money is a means of trading goods. Instead of bartering your skills or products, you store the "value" within a coin or note format. It is not evil at all, however some people have been able to accrue much more than they will ever need and hoard it greedily. Capitalism is the best of all systems, but it needs solid regulations in order to work correctly and all too often the financial incentives to law makers are overriding the wider public good. That is how resentment builds up because the system starts to appear unfair. Education related to finance is also woefully inadequate in most young peoples lives, which can lead them to fall into all sorts of traps and make the process of building wealth much harder.

In the end we ourselves have to choose, whether to use money for bad or good things. But the sad thing is that more and more criminal acts are emerging because of money. People who are experiencing economic difficulties will lose their minds, they will turn evil to earn money. The surprising thing is that rich people can also be evil, because they can't control their greed. So it is not a guarantee that having a lot of
money will make us wise and good, it all depends on how we live this life.
