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?"

When we do talk about religion it has a long way of debating to choose what or who is right because it differs from everyone's beliefs. I think it depends on who you would ask for this question because I think it depends on who the person you are talking. Let's say you ask a priest of course, you'll expect the answer would be carried out from the bible but if you ask a businessman like Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, I don't think they will refer to the bible since they were atheist. So expect that they give you a reasonable explanation on to why money is important and why do you think or ask money is the root of all evil.

Money was introduced to make life easier for men as for exchange purposes but then, the way people hoard it, especially the government and high status people in our society has made it a weapon for which the poor wishes to escape using any means available. The evil is the man not the money. Money did no wrong but the wicked heart of man is where the evil is cultivated. The creation of scarcity and the conditions for which money could be acquired is where the sides to the story becomes dirty and ugly.
There would always be evil in our world and money isn't what is going to bring it, it might propel it but, its not the origin of it. Men are!

Money is not the root of all evil if you will just treat money as to take its real purpose and usage of why it was created. The problem is that money got involved into those people who was possessed by greed making them to think and to act like evil doers that will do anything for the sake of obtaining money. Greed infused with power and influence by a certain person or a group of people wanting to gain more money creates more evil for the range of possible things they can do for money. It is the people's greed that makes evil in the society and not money alone.

Money is the most basic component of a life but the essence of money is not an evil, the essence of evil comes from the human psyche, the basic desires that stimulate people to come to money and do everything to get it, especially this thinking is very serious among the poor, life without money has made them taste too much difficulty, this objective cause has made them the devils of money. Besides, passions that have no basis and income to be served, which also make people turn into a slave and let money control them.

This is proven from the waaay back before "money" was even a thing. Barter period of humanity is a very very early stages and we do not have too much information about that period, but when you look at all the evil done in the ancient periods we could see that even things irrelevant to money were things that were evil.

Slavery was a thing and it wasn't even money related, not because it would be expensive to hire workers, which would be, but because people were seeing other races as inferior and used them as slaves, all the great achievements in life comes from evil, all those Nazi Germany deaths?

We got nearly a thousand different experiments on human body that proved helpful today with medicine, without those horrible crimes we wouldn't have these medicine, or would get them later, all those pyramids? Slave labor, all the genocide on native Americans? Biggest nation in the world. Basically without even putting money into play, "power" is a better word for what is evil, power is evil.

In my opinion, no. Money is not the root of evil at all. It's just that many people are using money incorrectly and getting controlled by money that they become evil. Money is good, and can bring world into a better place, however greediness destroy it. And about the different mindset, i guess maybe that's because the poor haven't experienced how money actually is, or maybe they're just saying it's the root of evil just to validate their inability to have those money. Having and not having things will surely affect the perspective of people, that's why it's such a normal thing.

actually there is a truth where many people commit crimes because of money. with money they can enjoy a luxurious life, especially for those who have position, doing various ways to seek personal luxury. I think what the poor people think is true, but it's not all true, because there are still many officials who really think about the welfare of the people.

i am poor and i dont think money is a root of evil ,for me money is an ambition , to get anything i want , and mostly i am happy after get what i want and sometimes i feel greedy . to get your ambition , u must think how to get it without bothering others.

In a competitive world, I am pretty sure that you will be bothering a lot of people because our society was designed like that, a dog eat dog world. Also, I think the reason why people think that money is the root of all evil are probably jealous.

I don't deny the power of money to change everything, but see it as just this life's tool to help us accomplish our goals in life.
Self-satisfaction with the present life will help us to see the material problems in this society simply, and we often look at the results rather than the process.

If we can treat money like it well, we will not see money as the root of evil because, with money, we can help other people who needed. It depends on how we can use money properly, not to use the money for bad things.
It is normal for people to think like that because it is easy to see the results than to judge the process easily. But behind the process, we can get something that will benefit us.

Rather than money, itching palm is the real problem. I think that it is really the root of all evil. It can make people do something really bad for money. So it is very crucial to control ourselves and don't give ourselves in to this.

I think the problem is wealth is unevenly distributed，and it leads to all kinds of evil things happen，we are all homo sapien，why is there such a big gap since birth. As a poor，i think money is the root of all evil. Sometime i would think if everyone was as poor as i am, might be i would be more happy.Haha，i am so selfish.

"IS MONEY THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL?"

Isn't money categorized as an inanimate object, in my opinion, money is not the root of evil? 'money' is neutral, everyone needs money, no exception, but if someone loves money he is the source of the 'evil' loving money can make humans greedy, money is earned by doing anything, no matter the victim even if it's from their family, not even taking care of their own health, because of the love of money, with this factor evil can appear everywhere, which is basically: the root of evil is not money, but greed and evil committed by humans.

Money and assets as a person's benchmark is rich or poor, liking or not.
And money is everything to do something for life. Even though money is not everything but everything needs money. And therefore, many people do anything for money. But of course this depends on every individual and environment.

It is true that how money is managed will usually depend on the natural environment of the person. Just as people can't do anything without money so many people are better off with less money poor people usually chase after money because they want to survive by eating two handfuls a day.

From a purely philosophical point of view, money cannot be the root of all evil. One only has to imagine a single event (such as a husband killing his cheating wife). The evil is unrelated to money at all.

I suppose, less technically as noted

If for a given population, the majority of the population would be willing to do..to sacrifice anything..if nothing is truly "off limits", given the right price, then then this greed would certainly tend to show such love of money as 'the root of all kinds of evil'

Compare rates on different exchanges & swap.

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.

Interesting, actually I never blame money for any criminal act that related to it. But I blame the people who did it. For me money is just a medium of exchange, but nowadays people start create a monetary system which can make people who only have fixed income become poorer because of inflation.

People like to twist things around because they are so scared of responsibility that they want to always justify their actions but in a way that they aren't the one to blame. The problem with the system is that salary doesn't go up in proportion to the rate of inflation which can be easily solved.

It is often said that the biggest difference between the rich and the poor has it origin from the mindset.

This is mostly said by the rich, they need to justify somehow that they are not rich by chance, by family or by the people they know so they say that they have special "supermindset" qualities that make them rich. Anyway, being honest, there is some truth on this. For example Elon, who I dislike particularly, could have settled with the money he made from the Paypal sale and he would have lived a nice life, he chose to do more.

What I am not certain is that being a business adrenaline junkie is a desirable trait, even if it makes you rich.

that was true for the rich but for the majority of poor it should be : they are busy on the things that makes them happy or entertain like ex. watching a movie , scrolling in social media , games but this things cant make them rich but it will only make them lazy and unmotivated .
it wasnt true that money is the root of all evil but its how you spend your money and treat others .
some poor are busy working hard to make as much money

Maybe that is why the crime increases higher in someplace because people who commit crimes think that they must have much money to enjoy their lives. If they can think that committing crimes will not make their lives happy, they will think twice about doing that and search for other things to make money. But money is like a knife with two faces that can become good or bad, depending on how you can treat that money.
