hello friends,
We hear many people saying "money is the roost cause of all evils". But i feel all evil is due to ignorance and misuse of our mind. We need money for/to do all things, we want to do. Money is like a tide ,the ebb and flow is always constant. Like wise money increases and decreases, so we should make use of our mind properly. Friends ,what do you think? please share your views. correct me if i am wrong.

Good idea. But see that you don't drown in the pool.Learn to swim so that you will be on safer side.

Hi prashu, The phrase should be the LOVE of money is the root of all evil, but many people get this wrong. When we desire money to the exclusion of all else - then we are in trouble. You are right about using our mind properly. Money should be constantly flowing in our life just as blood must be constantly flowing through our veins. There is always plenty and to spare and it's always good unless we try to hoard it. Then, just as when our blood clogs, we become sick. Blessings.

Money is evil when use to do bad things.
And money is good when use for doing good things.
So it depends on how people spend or use the money.

yes , i feel Good things are rarely done using the money.Many never want to loose it.There are people who can burn the money and make it into ashes but never ever give to the needy.

I think you are right there. If we use money in a positive way, that would be beneficial for everybody. I think, it is not right to that in absolute, that it is the root casue of all evils. As it depends on how we perceive it. As long as we use it personally and not to the expense of others, that would be a good thing. Thanks

It is an old saying " Money and women are root cause of all evils". I would not like to discuss about women part but as far as money is concerned, this is true in so many cases. Somehow money gets a top most priority in life and it causes people to take so many actions or paths which may be morally, legally or ethically in correct.
It may be easy to say ignore money in life but in today's extreme competitive and practical world , money plays such a huge role.

Yes, that's true. Money becomes the root cause of evil when they are misused. It also becomes evil when it enters into the mind of proud and corrupt people.
It should be that, when we have so much money, we should learn how to share it to the needy, not be greedy and would like to multiply it more for insatiable reasons.
People should learn how to be contented in having enough money.

yes ,we should use it for the needy, but so sad very few people think that way. There is nothing wrong if we want out money to multiply as long as we wont turn greedy.

Well, if we see in the world, most of the wars, are made for purely economic reasons.
Ok, money is needed to survive (how else I buy food?), But must be used wisely. Money is not a God
The people I am referring to the majority, especially the leaders of nations, always think to make more money. This has an impact upon the ills of civilization!
However, since the world began, some have too much and those who have nothing!
Since the money is in fact indispensable for us, at least we try to use it wisely! This is what the human being must understand!

yes, people should learn ,how to treat money. Many loose their family and friends, in the race of earning money, this should not be there.

Very true. Money is like tide, it goes and comes. Many people misuse the money. They take advantage of others promising them money. The whole world is corrupted because of money. It seems the problem is going out of hand and I pity those who become victim of evil money. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead

Earning money is not bad, it full fills all our requirements but many don't remember this, they treat money as their life this causes the problems.
