Topic: Is money the root of all evil as the poor to thinks? - page 4. (Read 1380 times)

When there say money is the root of all evil doesn't really means that money is evil and won't be used or touched because same Bible still told us money answereth all things, so i think it's just an idiom which simply tells us how people is ready to do so many dirty things in order to make money which is very bad, in our world today people cheat, kill, lie and do all sort of bad things in other to make money this is why there is a saying that money is the root of all evil but that doesn't mean money won't be made because it's evil.

It's just a normal slang by the average and low life individuals. If they said money cannot buy happiness, I want all the money in this life should be giving to me. I know how to  channel such money into something that will bring huge happiness towards me.
Cycle of poor people aren't supposed to be, we are meant to be mixed together  share knowledge and not stay in the lowly life style with lower thinking capacity.

Human greed is where the main issue is because everything would really be needed for us to live but there are people who do really aim for more for other reasons that they do have in mind which i can say to be naturally be part of human nature on asking out for more even they had already enough but well we do know on this reality that theres no such thing about being enough as long you do able to accumulate or save up money then you would basically
be doing it because the more the better kind of mindset we do have.It is just on how people been treating up their money because not all would be having the same aims in mind.

Money is treasure, and gold is treasure.  So money is actually neutral.  However, because it is used by people who have a high sense of obsession and greed, it could have a bad impact.  The poor and the rich should not measure it only in terms of material things.  Because they may become poor because of their own choices and become rich because of their fate.

It's just that in modern human civilization, money is quite a universal equivalent, thanks to which you can get goods and services. It is much more convenient to engage not in the natural exchange of some items for others, but to introduce something that replaces all this. The idea turned out to be so convenient and productive that it conquered continents and states around the world and the economy is built on this. If there were no money in its current form, precious metals such as gold, which were the prototype of modern fiat money, were blamed with exactly the same success earlier.

Why is it the root of all evils? These are just some "sayings" that people spread so that people don't become obsessed with money in their life. Money is not the root of all evil. The root of all evil is the intention of the people. People with bad intentions will always try to cause harm and problems in other peoples life. What I am trying to say is that someone with good intention can make good use of money. They can help people with it. On other hand, people with ill intention can use money to destroy everything. So money is just a medium.

Actually depends on how money would really be used and it would really be depending on a certain person because not all would really be having those bad intent when they had been holding money this is why its really hard to give out all the blame as we do know on how importance money is when it comes on  sustaining our lives and it isnt really just should be focused on the the negative side of things because as said earlier on where it would really be depending on the intent of a particular person on how it would be ending up depending on how he would make use of those funds

It is about greediness what money can bring to us. It defines power which makes many people show their evil side if it is involved. People become a slave for money because it is always needed to buy necessities like food, shelter, bills, etc. Lower-income people are easily looked down on by those above them because they can't do anything without money. While government officials and authorities are easily corrupted just with a huge amount of money by doing illegal stuffs.

In my own opinion money just became the center of the evil deeds of the people because we are living in the world where money is the only way to purchase goods and services, money became the man's center or source of happiness because it can give him a ticket to buy anything he wants, whatever he liked to do he can do with the use of money, greedy of the people also take them to the evil deeds. It is a sad but a truth that we are now need this money to be able to live, to be able to purchase our foods. Today, there's no free you need to purchase everything and that what makes people treat money as their God.

In fact, money can help us and can harm us too,
because after all it all depends on us whether this money we have to buy our needs or just for things that are not necessary,
we must be able to manage money well because otherwise it will backfire on us

I don't think the poor will think money is a source of crime. Being poor or rich is not God's destiny. It's the level of a person's effort in determining whether he wants to change his fate or not. The mindset also has a lot of influence here. I've heard the saying "Success depends on two things the book you read and who you hang out with". Now from this definition, it can be seen that the environment is very influential on the good or bad, success or failure of a person. If he hangs out with successful people I'm sure he's not far away from getting the knowledge of success. But on the other hand, if we associate with killers, we will not be far away either.

Easy to say but it is really hard to resist when you are in the actual situation on where poor people or to those who are in need will definitely
be agreeing up into those things easily as if they know that they could earn money on just simply following orders or whatever theyve been asking and most of the time people wont really be that much in concern if those things were bad or not so we cant really draw up some
conclusions on how things should be done because here on this world money is really indeed everything and you can do all you do want
and you can manipulate people.

Most rich people were born rich, they didn't become rich and changed characters, they were always rich. Want examples? Jeff Bezos is the richest person, born into wealthy family, took 250k from parents 20+ years ago (which is a lot in todays money due to inflation) to build amazon, and kept taking money to survive, so he was capable of letting amazon be a place that didn't make any profit for years thanks to his daddy's money.

Second is Elon, who comes from south african slave owner family, his daddy used slaves to mine valuables and gave him his start, thats how he was capable of building it all, he didn't even founded tesla, he just bought it and people think he is smart for building it wrongfully. Third is bill gates, dudes family was one of the richest in the area, he was capable of studying at best places with best education that allowed him to even try what he did and succeeded, without that money he wouldn't be able to.

I can go on, every single rich person in top 10 had rich daddy, you are not going to suddenly be wealthy from poverty, does it happen? Very very very rarely but it is a pipe dream, if your parents do not have tens of millions of dollars, the chances are you won't become like them, but you can have tens of millions of dollars from poverty and then give your kid a chance to be like them (hopefully in a nicer manner).

The worst thing is when these rich people forget who they are.
They use their money to make evil and they win. They take such advantage over the poor people, that is the truth.

For example,
If I am a poor person, I will take the offer and follow what they say. I take mine and they will take what they want, it doesn't matter for me. But honestly, this is a wrong practice for poor people. They just wanted the rich people to make evil things, if we never allow this thing to happen, they can never think that way. It is not all about the money, but it is also the participation of poor people.

   Yes absolutely people must frustrated if they do not have enough money to support their wants to buy. That's why somebody think and evil mind cause they can not go somewhere with out money, and already mind set in people that without money you can not eat, and buy they wanted. So people think evil like crime , some are stealing in bank or in groceries to get what they want.

I totally agree with your thoughts, but the reality is that the imbalance in society makes us have different perception of life.
We didn't understand and misunderstand it from the beginning, so go back and see how much we understood it.

It is clear to me from reading your comments that many of you are really confused about money, economics and what goes with it. Once more, money is an important tool in our lives, it can be the cause of much suffering, or a source of serenity, it all depends on how we relate to it. If it's true that money doesn't make happiness, its lack generates insecurity, deprivation, disputes, turmoil in the family, etc.. This doesn't necessarily mean earning more will solve all your problems. Rich people are not necessarily people who earn more than others. Being prudent means knowing how to manage one's finances well, investing one's money in productive activities and consumption (such as business and personal training), being thrifty, not overspending or indulging in luxuries beyond one's reach. In simple terms, this means: use the money you have available so that you will never find yourself in a state of need. Knowing how to manage your finances well also means being able to help others, whether through charity work or the job opportunities you can create.

It depends on the person who has the money, and their thoughts can influence when they use the money, which is sometimes used in a negative way, and vice versa.
Money is a valuable object that is often used as a tool to do anything, which basically money can help many people in economic life.

based on the evidence in the field and the people who gave testimony, it is evident that money has actually been the cause of all crimes on earth.
That money can cause people to commit crimes cannot be denied.  That money can tempt a wife who originally came from a good family to run away from her husband and children for money, is also not nonsense because there is a lot of real evidence that happened.
But in fact, if people use money wisely, money can also be a means to do good.

Yeah, I realized that over the course of years is that, money also changes people, that is just true and a simple fact, 99% of the time they become a "worse" person and 1% of the time they become a good person. That "bad" person is not actually bad in all of that, it separates into categories, there are things like people who become very busy and only work for money and do not care about their friends and family too much, why do you think all those business people and movie stars constantly get divorced? Mainly because they just do not care about each other anymore and spend time at work or work related stuff.

Long story short it is not all bad as it seems but the level goes higher and higher, like there are people who are willing to work slaves at this current day and age in order to make more money, in USA there are places where prisoners work in order to shorten their sentence, all for free, and inmates are always there, one goes in and one goes out so USA always have free labor thanks to it.
