Most crimes committed nowadays were because of MONEY. Do you agree with it? For me, partly yes because it's a need for everyone to have money! And without it we can't buy food or anything we like, that some men rob banks, offices, stores, etc for money! It's pretty obvious huh! What is your opinion? Is MONEY the ROOT of all EVIL?

Money by itself is one of the purest things that man has crated, because it represents human effort and value addition. The greed for money is bad, it attempts are made to obtain it in wrong ways and means. Humans can be evil, not money per se.

for me, money itself, is couldn't be the root of all evil; rather, it's too much love of money that makes man do all sorts of evil things.

i think the root for all evil is the craving by a person to acquire money in easy way. Because all of us have a desire to earn more and more, but few of us have that excessive urge and go to any length to acquire money. We all know how difficult it is to earn money the legal way. And equally easy is to get the money through illegal manner.

No, not at all...but it's the 'LOVE' of MONEY the root of all evil. Money is actually not evil at all but it's the wrong use of it and the love of money itself, rather the money itself is only but a tool or an instrument for us to use to get what we need in our life basic needs.

money is never evil. it is said the greatest invention in commerce is money. look back at the barter system. if you are a shepherd then youll go to the market to exchange the sheep for commodity you dont have for example rice. what if the sheep got sick or stolen on the way to the market or if the rice get drenched in the rain. money is a capital that dont need large warehouses- it promotes investments, it improves business- it improves the quality of life. want of money is also not evil. whats wrong in wanting to have a better capacity in buying the commodity we need. money is a representation of commodities, which evil men try to acquire by evil ways.

Not exactly. If the money reach a very good man, the money can be used for charity or good deeds. It the greed for money that leads to all evil. Of course in life we need money. It is the commiter of crime that let money lead them to do evil things.

It depends on each people if I must say. If that person are strong enough to find money by making legal job, then money is a motivation for you. A motivation that drive you to work hard. But if that person try to make fast money without do any work, then he/she will rob a bank, office and etc. It's trully depend on the person themselves. Are they strong enough to resist a temptation ?

Money is the source of everything and therefore it also the root of evil and same as the root of goodness. Money could buy everything and i can't imagine life without the money. Maybe we need love but we need also money to survive our living.
