Title: Is money the real root of all evil?
Post by: bosshyip on July 06, 2018, 06:39:25 AM
I do not think so, it’s like saying we don’t need money, but money sustains life. It will always depend on how you used your money. There are many meaningful things you can used money; e.g., build hospitals, feed the homeless, build schools, fund to teach people, charity works, help technology, supporting the government on enhancing its citizens way of living, and other many things you can do with money that is worthwhile. I have read about “the love of money”, it talks about every behavior of an individual not money itself that is the source of all different types of evil and distress. Money is ethically neutral; I believe there is naught wrong with money or the ownership of wealth. But, once money starts to control a person that is when the trouble began. People being controlled by money will feel superior and takes pride for power which leads to greediness and obsessions of an individual. He or She will enjoy the luxury of life, they will use their money to dictate and control other people for his or her will. Money is a necessity that is why people do fraud, insult, kill, and do bad things to have it. Hence, it is not “the money” but “the love of it” is the root of all evil.

I definitely wouldn't say it's the root of all evil, but it definitely gives entities who are evil more power and control.  Money is just a tool, ultimately.  It's unfortunate that being evil almost seems to make it easier for you to obtain more money, it's not always the case but you can definitely find more cases of corruption to get money than you can altruism to get money.

Sometimes money is being as an instrument for others to use it as power to control people, satisfaction of happiness, some use it to buy the equality and justice of other people. But if you will look it the other around money is one of our needs to survive in this world, money is something that you need to work for just to earn it, we need money because we have to pay for things that we need. Money is not the real root of evil it's just being over used by other people that do not know how to spend it in the proper way.

Money is most important of human being, in every step we make we need money all we needs are needs of money. But some people they use money to control people and some of them are buying friends for their satisfaction of happiness they used money to create bad things. On the other side, money is useful for us, for our daily needs and to survive in this world. It depends how we used money in proper way in this world.

Money is THE root of all kinds of evil.
Whether you believe it or not that's the truth.
Once you love money there is a big chance that you will kill for money,
you will steal as always, you will become more greedy even the money of charity and unfortunate people you want to get. We need money but we should not look to it more than our loveones.
Title: Re: Is money the real root of all evil?
Post by: CryptoZenWorld on July 10, 2018, 07:26:55 AM
Yes, Money is very important for everyone. Our day starts with money. We live with money and again we kill for money. But we can also do good activities with money.

- Evil deeds come from our mind. and to perform it we need money.

- Some people love to have a luxury life that's why sometimes few people become evils to get money not everyone.

- See, to live a normal life we don't need enough money. As a result, our mind doesn't hunger after money.

- So, every evil decision is coming from the mind and to perform it we are using the money.


Finally, we need to change our mind, I will say a bad mind and intention is the root of all evil. We should avoid greedily.

Thanks

Money is not evil! If we remember, before money was not and people changed the goods for the goods, or the goods for work. And then there were people better off and poor. I think this is not about money and not in the blessings that a person has, but in upbringing. As they say: A well-bred person will never spit from the Eiffel Tower!

Money is not the root of all evil it is just a creation of human for the purpose of in exchange of goods or services in the benefits of both parties. But if we treated money as the most important above all things in this world that's the time that we will be easily controlled by evil. We will be totally blind at the true meaning of life in this world to live in harmony, peace and love. If we adore money for sure we wil become arrogants that we wanted to be more suferior than others. The goodness of our hearts and good virtues that we learn from our parents and mentors will be replace by selfishness and most of all we will be walking at the wrong paths away at our loving GOD.

Actually, the money is a tool to facilitate us in making transactions. but because of that reason many also want to get money and they are willing to commit crimes to get the money maybe because there are also those who are just trapped.

For me money is one of them in provoking crime. Especially this in the Crypto world. It must be the goal of everyone here to get as much money as possible. There are even people who do not care about the loss of others, who do anything to get money, including cheating. I think it's a crime that is very painful for me and everyone here. I hope friends here are careful in doing something in this crypto world.

    You are right. WE need money for our needs to lived this world as a human being. In the other side it is true that money can be root of all evil but it depend on how people use it. If the people control the money it will be good and always use in a right things but if money control the people then it is bad because it may lead people to do bad things through this money and become the root of all evil plan. Money is very useful but always don't let money control your life instead be responsible to control it.

No, the person who handle or manage the money if the person have a bad attitude or so selfish in managing his money or using it in a bad way that is the time money is turning an instrument to make an evil's move. Money made as for  good, to help  us to sustain our needs.

You must have known and maybe you yourself once said "if money is everything". from that we can conclude that someone who is in need of money will do everything they can to get the money. Especially in this crypto world, where digital money is the most sought after by hackers to launch their crime. It is all based on "Money is everything".

I think humans are the root of all evil... money is just a status symbol that humans create to separate themselves from others.. the biggest problem with society is people just inherently do not work together.. and often don't care about those around them or at least their immediate personal circle.   Take away money and people will find another status symbol.. its a never-ending problem because the root is the source.

I was just to write this! I can totally agree. As Martin Luther King said - "Now that we have learned to fly the air like birds, swim under water like fish, we lack one thing—to learn to live on earth as human beings". When it comes to animals, we can learn from them how to care of each other. Money can be the root of a lot of good, but only if we will be good.

So true. Money is the root of all evil, Money is the mastermind behind crime anywhere including the Crypto World. Many criminals, burglars and hackers commit their crimes to users to get their coins by cheating, blocking accounts and others. It's all very painful, hopefully no one here is affected by the crime above.

Maybe yes...but in my own opinion it is all depends on the person who is handling and using it..money can buy everything even the impossible can be possible if you have lots of money..Once a person is drowned on fame and wealth and don't know how to look back and help others without asking in exchange..that is the time that the person became worst because he/she doesn't want to help or give back to others..They become more and more greedy and they forgot that the money they are using is a blessing from GOD..

Money is not the root of evil. We need a form of currency in order to barter efficiently. It would be much more difficult to not be able to exchange items for another without a uniform form and function such as paper money, or in ancient times, minted gold (https://www.no links to other forums/gold-ira-rollover/) and silver. As humans, the invention of currency is a necessity to survive so we might as well master using it to the best of our ability.

Nope, not money which is the root of evil but humanity itself, we cannot forcefully judge that just because the majority of things are destroyed for some reason, that is the cause, even though there are still other factors. In my opinion the cause of the crime is the inability of the environment to overcome the seeds of the crime itself. It can be started from the family. Family can't protect it as one part

Not money which is the root of evil but humanity itself, we cannot state that it is only because the majority of things are destroyed for a reason, that is the reason, although there are still other factors. In my opinion the cause of crime is the inability of the environment to overcome the seed of evil own. It can be started from family. The family cannot protect it as part.

Money is most important of human being, in every step we make we need money all we needs are needs of money. But some people they use money to control people and some of them are buying friends for their satisfaction of happiness they used money to create bad things. On the other side, money is useful for us, for our daily needs and to survive in this world.   Yes, Money is very important for everyone. Our day starts with money. We live with money and again we kill for money. But we can also do good activities with money.
Thanks :) :) :)

Money is both Evil And God   , but you have to remember gun dont  kill people  but people kill people with Gun .. No one on this earth  can live without money  ..  There  allot of animal in the forest but some animal  has been accepted as a pet , so it all depends  on how you will treat money .. if you want money to be evil it will if you want it to be God it will .. When you read a story about Pablo Escobar he treated money as both God and evil  ..  so it  all depend on you ..

For me, it's NO, the real root of evil is the person who use money to control other people and rules. Money is a necessity, we just need to use it wise and use it properly, I believe that money can bring happiness to person but sometimes people just let money control their personality which leads to evil.

You just need to be satisfied for what you have up to now, just be thankful when your money grows and don't change.

Two years ago I was to write an essay about the roots and the nature of all evil. Based on some of my favourtite philosophers (Like Socrates and Hobbes) I made a thesis that the evilness was a part of humanity since day one and it is dependant on the person, who does something bad. Like you said, money can be used properly and bring happiness to lives, but it's not always the case. Anyway, thank you for posting this. It's always nice to compare your opinions with others :D

Money is not the root of all evil. The Bible says, "The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows" (I Timothy 6:10). The use of money can be very worthwhile. It can be used to build orphanages and hospitals, to feed the poor, to preach the gospel, to build universities, to educate people in righteousness, to establish churches, and to broadcast the gospel. P> The question is, what is money being used for? Is it being used for God's glory, or is it being used only for pleasure? Is it being used for pride, to support dictators, and for the purchase of arms with which to kill people, or is it being used for a higher purpose?

I do not think so, it’s like saying we don’t need money, but money sustains life. It will always depend on how you used your money. There are many meaningful things you can used money; e.g., build hospitals, feed the homeless, build schools, fund to teach people, charity works, help technology, supporting the government on enhancing its citizens way of living, and other many things you can do with money that is worthwhile. I have read about “the love of money”, it talks about every behavior of an individual not money itself that is the source of all different types of evil and distress. Money is ethically neutral; I believe there is naught wrong with money or the ownership of wealth. But, once money starts to control a person that is when the trouble began. People being controlled by money will feel superior and takes pride for power which leads to greediness and obsessions of an individual. He or She will enjoy the luxury of life, they will use their money to dictate and control other people for his or her will. Money is a necessity that is why people do fraud, insult, kill, and do bad things to have it. Hence, it is not “the money” but “the love of it” is the root of all evil.
Evil or not, human communities cannot exist without money.
As long as humans exchange goods or services, they need a functional means of payment.
Bartering doesn't work.

Money has three main functions
a) a medium of exchange,
b) a unit of account,
c) a store of value

I don't see any evil in fulfilling these tasks

Money is THE root of all kinds of evil.
Whether you believe it or not that's the truth.
Once you love money there is a big chance that you will kill for money,
you will steal as always, you will become more greedy even the money of charity and unfortunate people you want to get. We need money but we should not look to it more than our loveones.
Money is a financial instrument in the hands of people. Money is not good or bad. So you shouldn't blame them. They are only the equivalent of the value of goods and other tangible and intangible goods. They make our life a lot easier, otherwise we would still have to deal with barter transactions. For good or bad deeds, they are guided by human hands.

I am underlining your statement that says a person's needs are constantly growing and creating evil and greed. It cannot be denied that sometimes necessity cannot beat common sense. which can make people unable to hold back and think positively.
they can do it in a good way, namely corruption and harshly, namely robbing, all because of needs that are not matched by the abilities that must be lived.

crime always happens because of thoughts that cannot be controlled with a reasonable mind, but all of that can happen because of many things, one of which is poverty (not having money) resulting in people finally thinking of committing a crime, because there is no other way otherwise they will died of starvation.
indeed, to stop this, there is a sense of concern from those who have more to be able to pay attention to those who are experiencing difficulties, so at least there are solutions that can be taken, although not all of them can be resolved.

Greed is in the root of a lot of evil, but no, I do not think money itself is. Money are a practicality, they don't provoke greed in on themselves. People were greedy even back when society ran on a barter system.

I think when we understand that money is only a tool, and our thoughts and desires must be in control, I think everything will be fine. But what happens now is that money has become a god in everyday life. This then drastically changes human behavior.

For me I don't think that money is the root of all evil but it was said that love of money serves as the root of all evil when man loves money more than its fellow , that can be dangerous but that doesn't mean that we cannot make use of money.
Money is the financial equivalent of a commodity. They are just a tool in the hands of man, and cannot be evil or good. Therefore they are neutral. Evil comes only from man.

The phrase "money is the root of all evil" is a commonly misquoted version of a Bible verse that actually reads, "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil" (1 Timothy 6:10). This verse suggests that it is not money itself that is the root of evil, but rather the love of money or greed that can lead to unethical or immoral behavior.

Money, as a tool of exchange and a means of facilitating transactions, is neutral. It is neither good nor evil in itself. It is the actions and intentions of the people who use money that can be good or evil. For example, money can be used to support charitable causes, provide for basic needs, or create opportunities for personal and societal growth. However, it can also be used to exploit others, fuel corruption, and perpetuate inequalities.

Ultimately, whether money is the root of all evil or not depends on how it is used and the intentions behind its use. It is important to recognize the potential power and influence of money, and to use it in ways that promote ethical behavior, justice, and well-being for oneself and others.

I don't believe that all evil stems from the use of money. One of the most important things we require to carry out our everyday tasks is money. We refer to the excessive concentration on wealth or the love of money as the source of all evil. The decision of the person in possession of the money determines the various uses it can have, both positive and negative. Everyone on this planet will be unhappy all the rest of their lives if peradventure money disappears. Although it is so awful that some people adore it, money gives life greater significance.

I read one of Georges Clason book titled the richest man in Babylon which actually talked about money, riches and wealth. Just as the quote below;

Quote
Money is the medium by which earthly success is measured.
Money makes possible the enjoyment of the
best the earth affords
.
Money is plentiful for those who understand
the simple laws which govern its acquisition.

Like it's said, money actually makes us enjoy the best things that life can offer. Most of the hearts of so many poor people are filled with different desires, dreams, and wishes, but because they don't have the money to fulfill their desires, they just remain unsatisfied.

It's good to have money, but not in an illegal way. That's why money can still stand as the root of some evil acts. Some people are too inquisitive for money and, as such, could do some ill activities just to have money. Money can be a root of evil for anyone who is chasing after money wrongly.

No, money is just one tool that was aimed at simplifying financial interactions between people, nations,...
And only PEOPLE have made it a tool of manipulation, profit, stratification of society....
However, this is one of the peculiarities of mankind - to turn useful things and discoveries into entities causing harm to ourselves or others.
And this applies to virtually everything that surrounds us and that mankind has invented! Chemistry - was born to study the world, to develop medicines, as a result there appeared poisons, poisonous substances, drugs to influence the consciousness, drugs....
Learned to make metal - got weapons for the mass destruction of their own kind...  and so on. Bottom line - it is not technology or a new concept that is evil, but the way people use it!

PS if we are talking about money, I would remember a wonderful proverb "money is a great helper, but the worst owner".

Thank you Jennifer! I wish I could give you a karma point but I don't know how...


Exactly

It's not the item per se which is evil, it's its usage - and in particular the intention behind it.

By the way, without money human society is impossible: no human society can exists without

a) a store of value,
b) a medium of exchange
c) and a unit of account.

so the question about whether money is evil or not doesn't lead anywhere.

 IMO, I think it actually does. Information and knowledge are power, and for the sake of knowledge, the question does lead to knowledge because there are people who lack the knowledge as to what Jenifer has said regarding the Bible. We all know that the Bible is for Christians, and everyone on this earth is not a Christian, so there is a need to discuss things like this so that those who don't have the right idea will do so.

Yes, money cannot be said to be evil or good, what makes it look evil or good is when people use it, in other words, it depends on how someone uses it. But here I will say that money can be one of the sources that will bring evil, not as an object but as a subject. We cannot deny that there are many crimes that occur because of money. It is just like a knife, if those who have the knife use it for good things then it will bear good fruit, but the opposite is also true.

Like you have said, money is not evil, but rather too much love for money can result in evil deeds. For example, because of the excessive amount of money that some people have, they can actually kill someone to take their money. In some countries, there is so much crime, like fraudulent activities, thiefs, kidnapping, and ritual activities, which are popular in some parts of Africa. So, there are some people who are doing different illegal activities just to make sure they have money. Money is not evil, but rather the activities that some people do to get it are what are evil.

That is why it is often said that money is the root of all evil. This means that money is often the reason behind every bad deed that humans do. It is the main reason why some people are capable of doing terrible things just to obtain the money they desire. Many people believe that money equals power and that power is the key to having and doing everything they want. Unfortunately, it seems that money truly is the root of all evil. Regardless of what we do, some people will always choose to do bad things as long as money is involved.

Actually it's a little different. First we need to accept the idea that everything in our world is relative!
What is comfortable for you is not comfortable for people living 5000 km away from you, and vice versa :)
There are many examples where people live on subsistence farming, and with a cashless “economy”. And they are quite happy and consider their life quite comfortable.

There really is a nuance - a specific system for building society, an extremely simplified scheme of consumption and goods/services. For you or me, this will clearly not be comfortable.

A large variety of goods/services leads to the fact that direct exchange/barter becomes extremely difficult or even impossible. For example, a resident of this tribe will probably be interested in a car dealership salesman to sell him a Toyota Sequoia, for arrows, spears, wonderful fresh fruits, and several beautiful pigs, or even plus - a hut on the crown of a tree :)

Another thing is the so-called In the civilized world, money has become not only a tool for TRADE, but also a measure of power, wealth, and even a tool for avoiding punishment for crimes, paying for criminal actions...

Money is THE root of all kinds of evil.
Whether you believe it or not that's the truth.
Once you love money there is a big chance that you will kill for money,
you will steal as always, you will become more greedy even the money of charity and unfortunate people you want to get. We need money but we should not look to it more than our loveones.
money can not be the root of all evil but the love for money fabricate it to be evil and even more evil than expected. The love one have for money makes one do any thing to get it by all means,while some of this means(ways) is not a genuine source of getting money therefore makes money root of evil. In some countries in the world today people do all manner of things in order to attain(get) money. The strong love and yearn for money makes one take a wrong decisions and steps with the intention of acquiring or making money, mostly the young ones. The evil money seems to be today all comes through the fact that humans are not always satisfy(saturated) with the minuscule attain. The evil people do to make money all come from a single mind set of decision making. making or having money  should not be by all means but by hoping and longing to have money some day and should not be by all means. The moment one have deep or strong love and feeling for money, its makes one go extra mind of getting the money through all means and by so doing its makes money evil and more evil.

What can you say about these prospects? How much would you like such a world? How will your real life (work, life, pension, gifts, vacation) look like in a world where "evil" in the form of money has disappeared?

When people say money is a root of evil, they don't mean it the way they say it, rather it's a literal meaning to what they are saying.
For instance, look at our society today where everyone is looking for money to impress people and show people that they have money, people are now doing anything to make this money. People are killing each other because they want to make money. In my place, there is really high level of insecurities going on and kidnappers are holding people asking for Ransome money, this is one of the things why people say money beget evil things.


Haven't you see people go to banks to rob and are ready to kill anybody that try to stop them? It's because of the desperation for this money and it's really bad for the society. There are some places where people kill to have another person wealth. Even in crypto, there are evil activities going on because of money, hackers are stealing private keys and seed phrase because they want to steal people money and that's evil.

Money is just like a tool. It can be useful, good or bad, depending on the user or owner of the tool itself. So money is not the root of all chaos. It's just that human greed and human egoism are the biggest threats in the chaos that exists in this world. So that evil does not come from money but from within humans themselves who are starting to lose control over themselves and are starting to be dominated by negative traits such as greed and egoism.

The pursuit of wealth and material possession can sometime drive greed.money can basically be used for so many things like, to fund charitable causes, and create opportunities for individual and the societies at large.prioritizing money above everything else leads to a high level bad behaviors and negative result.The great passion for money is been drive by unhealthy desires,it can also leads to various form or manner of evil.
money itself is not evil,rather its values, and action of individuals that state whether money will be used for good or for the purpose of harming others.A Strong affection for money can not create or result to a healthy relationship, naturally money is main to be used to carry out the responsibility that will benefit oneself and the society all the country of the world.

There are many meaningful things you can used money; e.g., build hospitals, feed the homeless, build schools, fund to teach people, charity works, help technology, supporting the government on enhancing its citizens way of living, and other many things you can do with money that is worthwhile. I have read about “the love of money”, it talks about every behavior of an individual not money itself that is the source of all different types of evil and distress. Money is ethically neutral; I believe there is naught wrong with money or the ownership of wealth. But, once money starts to control a person that is when the trouble began. People being controlled by money will feel superior and takes pride for power which leads to greediness and obsessions of an individual. He or She will enjoy the luxury of life, they will use their money to dictate and control other people for his or her will. Money is a necessity that is why people do fraud, insult, kill, and do bad things to have it. Hence, it is not “the money” but “the love of it” is the root of all evil.

money can undoubtedly promote corruption and greed, it can also be used positively. Donations are crucial to the operations of many charities and organizations, and the people who give these donations often have extra money to spare. Therefore, it's not so much that money is naturally harmful as it is the way we make use of it matters.

It comes back to each individual. Just like a knife, if we use it for something useful then it's good, and vice versa if we can also use it for something that can harm ourselves and others.

There are many positive sides of money, but not a few are also the root of evil. We can't say "the money" is the source of evil, but I think we can say "the people" are the source of evil.

Because money without someone to use it, it will not be something that bears positive fruit or something that bears negative fruit.

In short it is actually us that makes the money used in dirty or evil things. The love of money is what makes a person blinded that is why we sometimes don't care if it was used in bad things.
Well that's true, because money will never be good or evil without someone holding it. It is humans who make money or other inanimate objects good or evil, in short it depends on the human being.

It's the same with other objects. Wood, for example, is very useful for warming the body when cold. But if misused it will become a tool that will hurt others or even take someone's life. So it depends on who and how people use it.

Humans were created to be able to control everything on this earth, whether real or not. You are right in the analogy with money; it is in the form of an object that can be useful and does not depend on the human who holds it and uses it for what purpose.Likewise, with any object and any behavior that occurs, it depends on whether the human being can control it or not; everything depends on what situation he is in and what he wants to do.For this reason, humans must have faith and a good conscience so that they can act according to adab.

Humans are the only ones equipped with reason, and it must be used well and again it depends on the human. Now we choose whether we will use reason for good, or we will use reason for bad.

It is true what you say that everyone also needs a conscience in deciding something, sometimes just using reason is risky because sometimes our emotions have an influence.

Therefore, rules were created as guidelines for life, whether they are rules that come from God or rules created by humans.

Like a knife, which is as good for cutting vegetables as it is for murder. In this case money can be used for education, for enriching experiences, or to help others, just as it can be used for evil purposes. So, for me, the statement is too exaggerated, and therefore untrue. It is not that money is the root of all evil (or the love of it, as philipma1957 qualifies). We could say that it is the root of some because of its powerful character, but such generalisations are always false.

That's right, actually we are equipped with written and unwritten rules which will guide the life we will carry out. There are God's regulations and government regulations that are quite available and can serve as guidelines. But now it is up to us whether we are able and willing to carry out the existing rules.

Even though humans are creatures on earth who are given reason more than anything else, what you said should be true more. They should be able to use it as well as possible to be able to control things that are not good, aka despicable. However, there are still many people who always continue to commit despicable acts because they cannot control themselves properly. Actions through the intellect that has been given to them.

I do not think so, it’s like saying we don’t need money, but money sustains life. It will always depend on how you used your money. There are many meaningful things you can used money; e.g., build hospitals, feed the homeless, build schools, fund to teach people, charity works, help technology, supporting the government on enhancing its citizens way of living, and other many things you can do with money that is worthwhile. I have read about “the love of money”, it talks about every behavior of an individual not money itself that is the source of all different types of evil and distress. Money is ethically neutral; I believe there is naught wrong with money or the ownership of wealth. But, once money starts to control a person that is when the trouble began. People being controlled by money will feel superior and takes pride for power which leads to greediness and obsessions of an individual. He or She will enjoy the luxury of life, they will use their money to dictate and control other people for his or her will. Money is a necessity that is why people do fraud, insult, kill, and do bad things to have it. Hence, it is not “the money” but “the love of it” is the root of all evil.

When I hear people say that money is the root of all evil, I look at them like people speaking without knowledge..
In the society today, i will say that 99% of man's problems has only one solution which is money, making money to he able to afford what you want is what every body wants.
Money is not the root of all evil, because money can do good things in the society..
Speaking of those saying money is the root if all evil, have you ever imagined a life without money?? You'll suffer.
Make money legitimately and enjoy all the good things in life .

Have you ever observed who are those people who most of the time say the quote "money is the root of all evil"? Because in my personal observation here in my place when asked about this topic they answers it irresponsibly and unfortunately most of them are in poverty and is uneducated financially.

Root of evil they say because they are on a condition on which they dont have money and on the time that you do see someone having tons then they would be having impressions that those people are really that involved into something illegal without even trying out to realize that someones wealth do come from hardwork but well there might be some who do go into the wrong path but only a few. Not to discriminate those poor people but this kind of reasoning does really that shows about having that jealousy about others or someones financial condition.
Well, we cant really be able to avoid such reality on where inequality is inevitable.

Money is not The Root of All evil, money have no particular definition, but money is defined by the hand it find itself. When money enter the hand of a bad person people see the money as a bad money but when money enter the hand of a good person people see it as a good money, so money is defined by the hands it fine itself.
So it is the hand it enters that we can tell if the money is evil or good, that's my opinion.

Other to approach the problem is to examine what we appreciate as a society. In our way of life, we impose a high value on riches and physical belongings, which can lead to an unhealthy relationship with money. In other situations, people may even begin to associate how valuable they are as individuals with the quantity of money they have. This is a very harmful thinking, as it leads to a wide range of unpleasant outcomes. If we begin to give priority money over other values like as family, friends, and community, we are going to develop an imbalanced and detrimental country. So, one method to shift our viewpoint is to focus on what is truly important, such as relationships and personal development.
