Is money the real root of all evil?

[Pusaka]

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.

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.

Some will say money is the root of all evil, while some will say it is not the root. Basically, money is essential and tool for living. Money buys you comfort and makes one to live a good life.

Some will say money is the root of all evil, while some will say it is not the root. Basically, money is essential and tool for living. Money buys you comfort and makes one to live a good life.

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...

We’ll, I will say money is the root of all evil and also it is not the root of all evil’s all depends on how you earn it , if you earn it in a bad way definitely you will lavished it in a wrong ways because you got it in an easy way and if you earn it with your sweat, then you will be very careful to lavished it anyhow or even plan to do evil things with it. Meanwhile! every one step someone take to use that money in day to day Activities you will always remember how you have earned the money, So for me it depends on how you earn it.

On the one hand, money is evil, on the other hand, money is the main motivating factor of society and the incentive to live. Therefore, there is a complete dilemma here and there is no clear answer to this question

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.

I have a question. Let's say money is evil. And now let's simulate the situation - the whole world recognizes that money is evil, and .... abandons it. And goes to natural exchange. 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?

...let's fantasize about "life in a world without money" ?

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.

The statement(saying) "money is the root of all evil" is a saying but often times it's always misinterpreted. Biblically, its quote that "for the love of money is the root of all manner of evil,which gives a different fostering or aiding .it gives the ideal that it's the much passion with money that leads to problems,instead of the money itself. Money, as source of exchange has its benefit in ensuring trade, facilitating economic advancement and ameliorating living criferion.   

[Gormicsta]

Yes I think so because even the bible say so.

[Uruhara]

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.

[Martyns]

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.
