To a pont money can be evil . I know money causes much stress and many fights . So , yes in many ways . People hurt people for money all the time and that is where the evil comes from .For me money just causes fights and stress !! Money holds alot of us back from the things we want to do in life , and enjoy .

lastest model/expensive cellphone... people who desperately need cellphone and don't have money to buy a phone. They turned into evil when they saw any kind of cellphone that they catch their attention especially the expensive and latest model of cellphone. So, they started to robbed it.

I don't think it's money. All things that are use in a right way would produce good.

Well. the Bible says the love of money is the root of all evil. And I would agree with that. As long as we don't make money the be all and end all it shouldn't be a problem. But once that becomes our main concern, than love becomes the root of all evil, as the saying goes.

the root of evil is not money. money is just a tool of exchange which is very useful. without money, our life will be not so practical as we are experiencing now. the root of evil is our consciousness...i mean our unconsciousness. if all people in the word have reached a certain level of consciousness, a desired level of it, i think there will be no evil in the world.

It is the love of money that is evil and not the money itself. I don't think love of money is the only cause of evil. Love of power and manipulation of other people is evil. Love of war and domination is evil. Love of cruelty and suppression is evil. Money, power, even war can be causes for goodness too, when they are used in the right way and not for evil purposes. Jealousy, hatred and meaness are bad things which can also cause evil deeds, so I can't name a single root of all evil. I believe it can stem from many things.

HEART with NO LOVE... because if LOVE isn't there, Goodness would be missing, and if goodness would be missing, EVIL prevails
