Topic: Money root of evil and root of fear - page 2. (Read 2097 times)

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

Yes, you are right and it is a fact that things are that way , sometimes the capabilities of people can make them even poorer , a person who has a lot of wealth can use it to get better Opportunities , what happens is that in most countries to be able to study you have to have a lot of money, there are countries that Allow free education, therefore that is what you have to see and Understand , in a country that offers you free education there are no excuses for Poor People , because if you are poor it is because you are lazy and you do not like to Work , but if you have Opportunities to get ahead by working it is something that should be done.

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

It is not wrong about what you said about the point of poverty and also the point of becoming rich, because in my own area the poor people are people who do not have a job that is so decent so they do not have a stable income in their own lives. In addition, those who are still poor also have shortcomings in creating new things to attract everyone even though they have the opportunity to do so. However, because they also have limitations in terms of the knowledge they have, their time and opportunities also become useless so they have to continue to work hard with their own physical abilities without caring about other things they can achieve.

One can have money in illegal ways, do we say such person is a person of good value.  Some people can be wealthy but still be stupid and their lifestyle is affecting the society negatively. Value shouldn't be base on money but what impact is one adding to the society both in characters and to the development in the society.

because in poverty, work becomes a determining factor for someone to progress or retreat, because this situation becomes a certain motivation, which is closely related to a person's survival depending on how the individual assesses it, and each person has their own thoughts about the solution to their own way out.

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

For that reason I say that poverty is mental, it is not about what or what they want to be poor, poverty is something that besieges, in some cases it is due to a lack of opportunities, in a country where there are people who have studied have the potential to contribute and do not have the opportunities that is another thing, that they are poor only because of that, even so they point out what they can do, then poverty is something that besieges but it is coupled with the lack of motivation and inventiveness for work, because in most cases there is work, they just don't take it, for me the way out of poverty will always be work.

This happens because humans are starting to lose empathy and a sense of social humanity and today's life no longer sees the value of humanity. Rich people easily order poor people when they need help because maybe they can give money when asking for help. But poor people have nothing to give so asking for help from others is impossible to do. Today's life seems to have lost its direction, where the rich are having it easier and the poor are increasingly oppressed because no one cares.

In the past, when we held any event, people would come together to help, but now people will choose to help. This happens almost everywhere and even social life is increasingly lost, especially for those who live in urban areas where everything must be paid for. This problem will make it even more difficult for the poor because they cannot afford to pay when asking for certain assistance.

For that reason I say that poverty is mental, it is not about what or what they want to be poor, poverty is something that besieges, in some cases it is due to a lack of opportunities, in a country where there are people who have studied have the potential to contribute and do not have the opportunities that is another thing, that they are poor only because of that, even so they point out what they can do, then poverty is something that besieges but it is coupled with the lack of motivation and inventiveness for work, because in most cases there is work, they just don't take it, for me the way out of poverty will always be work.

While poor people only show sadness so that they can always get pity from others so that those who are still poor will certainly find it harder to do evil even though at this time there are also some poor people who are desperate to do evil in order to eat. But not all poor people will dare to do evil like people who have power and money in their lives.

That's the point mate, it's who's in possession of the money that we have to blame with whatever wickedness he decides to perpetrate and not to say it's due to the money he has, because there are people that has so much than that very person but they chose to use theirs in touching the lives of people positively and making good name for themselves. There has never been a time money has been bad to own whether in excess or moderate but what you make of it is your responsibility.

Yea poor people are known to show appearances of pity but there are some among them that don't let their poverty take away their pride and dignity for any random rich dude to trample on them because they need helping as poor people. And those are the kind of poor fellows I admire, and I think they are the kind of poor people that don't let the rich people use them as tool to carryout their illegalities in return for money.. what I see is that poverty or being rich is a thing of mindset first before money itself.

Nowadays most people will really care about those who have a lot of their wealth and that's right as you said, most people will very easily agree with any advice given by them because they have a lot of wealth and related to the sense of humanity today has slowly disappeared, it is possible that it is because most people today are very difficult to find a job that gives them income so that They will be more concerned in helping the rich because they think that there will be a reward after they help them and this has made people who have a little wealth no one wants to help them because they will not have any reward after helping them.

Everyone always has a certain reason when they want to do something including when they want to do good things with money and also evil things using their own money. This means that in this kind of thing, the one who should be blamed is the owner of the money because it is a human being who can move money wherever he likes for various reasons. I also quite agree with what you said that everyone will show their true character when they have power and also have a lot of money in their life.

While poor people only show sadness so that they can always get pity from others so that those who are still poor will certainly find it harder to do evil even though at this time there are also some poor people who are desperate to do evil in order to eat. But not all poor people will dare to do evil like people who have power and money in their lives.

Its not money that is bad it is people that are bad and they get to use money to want to cover their evil. Money is just a tool with purchasing power and just like any other valuable tool whatever you chose to do with it that's what you will get in return.

It is said that if you want to know the true character of any man give him power in other words give him possession of so much money and see him manifest his real attitude that have been lying dormant due to poverty. Some people are inherently wicked but they just needed to have money to manifest it.  While other just like involving in evil things so they use their lack of money as excuse to perpetrate evil.
