One says that Money itself is not evil, but the love of money is. So, it is the root. And I agree it is the root of all evil because it makes man do evil deeds just to support his lifestyle which is beyond his means/income. There are others who had no money do evil because they have to buy medicines for their sick love ones, to buy food for their hungry children, and etc. While there are others who will go to the extent of killing just to rob or steal in order to buy drugs.

I agree with you 100%. It is the root of all evil as it creates such greed in people, that they will do things unthinkable for it.

Money is only the product of man.. Man had the evil in him all along.. Even if money wasn't invented, we still would do awful things just to make sure our own personal interest is protected. Better life, more control, there are lots of reasons and money doesn't always garantee them.

Money is the means of transactions in this world. So, if money was not invented, there will be other means of transation whatever they will call it. So, those who have more means, have more control and better life.

Some claim that money is the only rule that measures a person.They would regard you as a successful man if you have a large sum of money.And they would even consider you a fool if you are penniless.
Others try to prove that money is the source of all crimes.To illustrate,they say that some person needs money and he goes to steal or rob.And they would often tell the story that a millionaire pays off some plice so that he can do whatever he likes.
In my opinion,money is not all good or all bad.If you make money in the way of others,that is not good.If you take advantage of money to hurt or do harm to other people,that is worse.If you advocate money is no good and therefore you don't work,that is no good,either.Accept is or not,money is part of your life and you have to make it and spend it appropriately.

Thank you for the respond. I think money will not make people evil but it makes people do evil deeds/acts.
