Is Money the Root of All Evil?
Comments
18th of Jul, 2006
We all need money to get on with our day to day living so money can't be the root of all living. Its when money becomes our God, thats when we start having problems. Therefore let me just say that its the LOVE of money thats the root of all evil!

This note came at the perfect time, as I am in a money issue with someone whom our relationship has been mostly via online and we are planning a meeting.
The money issue as already reared it's ugly head. You gave some excellent advise that I am going to use from now on. Using the phrase "I need", and what it represents is a useable approach to take as you've pointed out.

The article while good reading is completely off base, money is NOT the root of all evil, nor is the LOVE OF money the root of all evil. Money is just evil's tool the root of all evil is knowledge.
FOLLOW ME... If you take a bill any bill (one, five, ten, or twenty) lay it in front of you it will do absolutley nothing, it only becomes dangerous when someone picks it up, with (evil) intent to use it. Money takes the place of everything we as humans hold dear to us (honesty, respect, loyalty, trust etc.) Think about it.. name one thing that money itself has created. Still thinking aren't you!
Well you might as well stop because you won't be able to come up with an answer. Everything on this earth was created by man's hands! Money is an everyday reminder of just how weak the human race has become, We depend on it instead of each other, and since we've fooled ourselves into beleiving that we can't survive without it, when it's included in a relationship (personal, or business) the end result is usually very drastic, because unfortunatly when and if the money runs low so does the love!

I don't think money is the root of all evil if you know how to use it. I am a single parent who has a beautiful home, car, job, I actually have good credit! I spent a lot of time when I was in my 20's trying to make my money work for me. I took lots of classes, and now I am debt free and loving it. I even have a great college fund for my daughter who wants to go to Harvard or Princeton. If you know how to work that cash, there is nothing evil about it if you are making your life better in the process!

money is indeed the root of all evil, a woman had to cheat on her husband to get the money for her son's medical bills when her husband travelled overseas and falled to support them. she wouldn't have done it if she didn't needthe money so badly.

People worry too much about money. It's more trouble than it's worth.

I THINK THAT PEOPLE SHOULD WORRY LESS ABOUT WHAT YOU GOT AND WHAT YOU CAN GIVE ME AND SPEND MORE TIME ON GETTING TO KNOW THE HEART OF THOSE INVOLVED.. LOVE ISNT AND SHOULDNT BE EVER ABOUT MONEY OR THINGS OF THIS WORLD.. TO FIND A LIFETIME OF HAPPINESS ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS STRIP AWAY THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD AND STAND NAKED AND SEE OPEN YOUR HEART AND GIVE YOURSELF ALL TO ONE PERSON AND SEE AND FEEL THE LOVE..

Some people actually for in love with the money one has, and lie to them that they love them. Once married, it becomes the root of all troubles.

Money comes and goes... it doesn't break up anything!! It's what PEOPLE do with money that causes issues!!! Stop blaming inanimate object for your problems people-- you control your money and what you do with it... we make the decision who we marry and have to live with our decisions every day... people blame bad decisions on money because its ewasier than saying 'dang I messed up!!'

Its amazing what money does to people. It turns them into things they are not and usually shouldnt be.
19th of Nov, 2006
Money is not evil.Its loving money more than anything else.
20th of Nov, 2006
Seriously, make your money work for you. It only seems to be evil when those who don't have it, want it, and those who have it allow their greed to make them want more. Seems like a vicious cycle to me.
20th of Nov, 2006

Money is definitely the root of all evil during the holidays. People are so busy trying to buy the perfect gift that they forget what the holidays are all about.

I agree with Fala---X-mas has nothing to do with presents...giving or getting!!

The first or second thing that I'm always asked when meeting someone new is, "What do you do for a living?" Which really means how much do you make. I no longer try to date because of the money thing. I'm disabled and have a very small fixed income. Women do not see me as an option because of my lack of income.

Money is only evil when you don't have any!

If money is the root of evil - does that make me an angel since I don't have any?
We all need money to get on with our day to day living so money can't be the root of all living. Its when money becomes our God, thats when we start having problems. Therefore let me just say that its the LOVE of money thats the root of all evil!
