Is money the real root of all evil?

[Renampun]

if you think that money is the root of the devil then we are looking for the devil, not money...
money is a tool for human survival in this modern era, without human money, it will be difficult to carry out its activities, money has become the most important human need and cannot be eliminated.

I absolutely agree bro, of course, one cannot survive without money. Especially nowadays you cannot even breathe without money. but should not be a slave to money. Risking everything for money leads people to crime.

a very reasonable view but do not make money more important than life will certainly be problematic. that you have made money is everything, because not everything can be done with money. but we do not deny that money is a useful need to support life, not the opposite.

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.

But making money is the top priority, we cannot deny that there are still many who think that without money everyone cannot walk and do any activity. because currently everything is determined by money so like it or not money has made the king who can control people. people do not hesitate to corrupt and feel still not ashamed.
although it is also not always true that money can dominate people, reality has determined it.

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 love your perspective. But think of it this way. All the evils and atrocities that has been happening around you ad the world are large, don't you think they are in one way or the other attached to money? I won't even want to start giving instances. I have thousands here.  I personally think money is evil itself

For me money is not the root of all evil because money is just a tool  humans use to commit evil things. Greed what makes a human do evil things that is where the love of money will emerge. Don't let money controls you, control them instead.

There is no evil with money only in a person who has it. It exactly does how anyone wants it to accomplish and nothing is more than that.

We should think extensively on this topic.  You don't necessarily have to be the one that will be evil just because you have money.  What of people around you?

You got this word from the Bible right?
The bible did not say MONEY is the root of all evil.
The bible says "The LOVE of Money" is the root of all evil. Which simply mean when you so much desire getting money by all means you'll never care how much harm you make on anyone/anything to have it to yourself.

I agree with you. If we love something excess is not good, let alone money. It is undeniable that money is everyone's basic need for survival. But we must be wise in reacting to it. Because in my opinion money is not everything.

[Dreamer]

Not at all! Decisions are the main root of evil. You may think of doing something evil when you don't have money and you may think it when you have money as well, but the decision that you will make is the root because your decisions will have two choices for you, whether to do the evil thing or to do not, but not money which will decide.

[Sahillatif78]

You are saying that money is the root of evil just because it is used in wrong works. If we use money for helping others and for poors than can we say money is root of goodness?
It's all depend upon thinking what you think about using money. If I think I will help others with my money than that money will be root of goodness. If I think I will use money for bad works than that money will be root of evil.

Money is everything is this life, if you do not have money, no one will respect you. If you have money, you have power, you can buy anything, you can buy happiness, you can buy health, everything.

[Seerge]

Money can be said to be the source of life for humans all over the world, without money we can never do anything. Then is it true that money is said to be the source of all evil, I do not agree with this.  Because in fact the crime is in the brains of each criminal himself.
