Topic: Money root of evil and root of fear (Read 2123 times)

So, in my opinion, the root of evil and root of fear is man.

Money as root of evil and root of fear.
Maybe it's better If our goverments will just provide us food and housing and we rather own nothing at least we don't need to worry about getting more money more more more ....i think even those wealthy people are tired of chasing money together with other people in society.

The fear that money is finish all the time could be the reason why we live in very stressful and depresive world.
We can say that that's way how it is but we haven't tried different ways.

Even tho you working at the Job the goverment should always guarantee for you no matter what you have food and housing what ever you work yourself that's for extra.
I belive it's all possible with AI and with more automated world when robots can produce a lot things cheaper and way faster then human workers.

Right now the person value in society is based on how wealthy they are and what they own and how much that costs what they own.

Instead of that the fair system will be judging person value by the merits of the person doing in society not just how wealthy they are or how good they are to take from others with super greed but instead of this how much they give to others in terms of their skills talents and knowledge.

So If robots and ai machines coming then it could be possible that goverments can support us fully no matter what right now there is too much money chasing by everybody and person don't put his energy nowhere else then just chasing the money it's like the shadow you never catch that If goverment become on full aid for people then many people can live without that fear that they not getting enough money and people can focus on their talents skills energy and time to be more creative and useful for society instead of just chasing the money.
Maybe it's even ban money for indviduals and instead of money you get "tokens for food travel and clothing "
Im sure If we eliminate use of money people will be less evil and more happy also the fact that you own something and i don't own it's unfair and If your life is better by luck that you had maybe some wealthy parents so you live better life that's unfair and it's not based on person own merits in society....maybe it's better If nobody owns nothing or If they own that would very very exdronary case

Im not sure but it seems that Kamala Harris moving on that direction slowly.
Also the state of California in USA.


I like to test this idea i myself not poor Im quite well financially but i hate that our society have lost sense of humanity and only will considering you as human how rich you are or how much money you have.
It's even in the real life people see that If something happens with someone .....before they go to help or something they first run "the quick check in their mind "how wealthy this person are what's the status of person or other stats and then they make decisions...If it's worth to help by them.
We do lose sense of humanity more and more.

From what you say, you cannot say that money is the root of everything, human consciousness and behavior are the root and cause of everything. Money is just a means or tool for us to use and whether we use it for good or bad is entirely up to us.

Except for Earth, almost everything that exists in the world is an invention and creation of humans, and the purpose of creating them is to serve human needs, including money. If humanity could control greed, jealousy and envy there would be no more evil and vice versa. Humans not only do not want to control greed, jealousy, envy...but also use them to treat their fellow human beings and evil is born from that. So, in my opinion, the root of evil and root of fear is man.

It has 2 sides, depending on which side we look at. I think it is not wrong to say that money is the root of evil, because it does not eliminate the fact that money can also bring good. On the other hand, money can bring good, but we cannot deny that money can also be a source of evil.
This depends on the person himself, something that is good can become something that can be destructive if someone uses it wrongly. And also something that is considered dangerous can become something useful if it is in the right hands.
The point is that we cannot claim that money will bring evil without being able to bring good, and vice versa, because as I said before it depends on the person.

Evil and goodness are usually formed or occur based on the intentions of the person who wants to do it and this can also happen without involving money or something else with a certain value. This means that money does not need to be associated in everything except for a means of exchange because money is a tool used to buy something else including buying someone's intentions, be it bad intentions or good intentions. However, we also need to understand that people who can be bought to do bad or certain crimes, usually those people are cheap people. Because people who like to do good, usually do not have to be told or bought using money in a certain amount.

It all comes back to yourself, we cannot say that money is the root of evil because on the other hand money can also be the root to create goodness so that money can change or be utilized on both sides, it depends on how we manage money and I think evil or goodness is not always because money all comes back to yourself so I conclude that money cannot be linked anywhere to evil or goodness.

If we say money is the root of evil it means that money doesn't do any good but if you think critically about this you wouldn't really describe it this way. There are lots of people that made money from working hard for many years and are now enjoying the reward of their hardwork, while there are others that have nothing doing but aim to have an extravagant lifestyle, these are the people you are supposed to look out for, they are the ones that look for shortcuts to make wealth this might make them commit all sorts of atrocities just to become rich overnight, The love and obsession of money is the root of all evil not money itself.

Money is actually not the root of evil, I agree with you on your view that a person's value in society is now a function of how much is in your bank account this is so because over time money has been worshipped and taken over the place of God, because the value that has been given to money by society is too much that is like if you don't have money is like you don't even exist

The opportunities that rich people have are more open compared to the opportunities that poor people have, I think there will be differences of opinion from some people

In the end, money is just an object and the nature of them depends on us who are the subjects using the object.
In actual conditions it is not wrong to say that money is a source of evil but it needs to be underlined that not everything happens like that because in the end there is not a little money that is indeed a source of blessing when used by the right people.

Therefore there is a notion that do not want to be enslaved by money and indeed it is a thing that I agree with until now because in the end even though we all definitely need money because this is one tool that can change anything even that cannot be changed but we also should not be governed by money because when that happens it is precisely what is listed from the title where money becomes a source of evil can occur, Not a few people who go crazy and even darken their eyes just because of money so this is our function in placing ourselves whether we want to be the devil who only focuses on money and makes it a negative thing or instead we try to control money and do it as one of the blessings for ourselves.

I dont think money is the root of all evil. It's more about how people choose to use it. Sure, some people do bad stuff for money like crimes, stealing, killing others, but that's on them, not the money itself. It is the person that is doing those stuffs who is evil. There are tons of people who use their wealth to help others and make the world a better place. Money can be used  for good if you let it. Blaming money is kinda missing the point - it's really all about personal choices and morals. Plus, without money, how would we trade or get things done?

I guess then you are living in the wrong society. You should start looking for new friends that wont judge you by your wealth.

Are you trying to contradict what the Bible have said  or bringing it in your own way? Money is the root of all evil because the word "root" means foundation. We all want to make money but their are some people that would not mind doing illegal things just to make sure that there is money in their hands. Their are people that don't want to work but want to be making money which is obvious that such kind of person can go extra miles to ensure they make money. This is where the evil aspect comes in. Due to the high level of inflation in various countries, it has lured many people to think of scamming others just to make this money and buy properties and lots of cars living a luxury lifestyles.

As we put it this way, we really need money to survive in thislife. We may not aim for riches but hard to get by your everyday survival without money.
