Don't blame money, it is always the people that need to be blame. Our nature of being greedy is the root of evil. Sometime people want things so badly that they don't care what they did to get money will affect or hurt others.

Money is not the root of all evil. However, money can be the driving force among many conflicts. There are disputes among people regarding money all of the time. Trust me, the number of lawsuits that go to court, the vast majority of them is not about pain and suffering caused. It is about the money. Plain and simple, that is the bottom line. Many every day fights are rooted in money.

You have got it wrong. It is 'The love of money is the root of all evil'. Yes loving money over everything else can sure be the root of all evil but not just money per se. "Money makes the world go round".

It's more of idolatry or worship of money sparksss :) (how many sss are there exactly?)
Any person would love money because that's what they use to get things that they need in life--food, shelter clothing. That is not evil.
The advent of the use of money made commerce run much more smoothly. Not evil.
Doing whatever it takes to have money and control of it, however is evil.
