Is Money truly the root of all evil?

Money. This is the current medium of exchange in the form of coins and banknotes; coins and
banknotes collectively, However Money is always said to be the root of all evil. Is money truly the
root of all evil or do people just use money as justification for mans evil nature.

Many people, from even a long time ago, may say that they think money is the root of all evil. As
Benjamin franklin stated “Money has never made man happy, nor will it, there is nothing in its
nature to produce happiness. The more of it one has the more one wants.” This shows that he
believes, and probably many others too, That nothing relating or having to do with money can
produce happiness of any sort.

However, money is said to be the root of evil because man have a wrong usage on it. Actually,
money is just a medium of exchange. Money does not have brain to think how to hurt people. It is
the thought of human that used money as a tool for evil purpose. Many of them did wrong looking
for a quick buck or two and end up doing some action that hurt another people. But they blame all
the fault on money when in fact is actually their brain that causes this evil.

Money is not the root of all evil. In fact, the love of money is the root of all evil. When a person love
money so much, he will get jealous of others with more money and he tends to get more money
than him in every possible way even by committed crime. A man greedy is also another negative sign
of loving money. They never satisfy the amount of money they have, they want more and more.
They steal, rob and cheat to get quick money to fulfill their greedy.

In addition, the wrong definition towards money is also causing the evil. Many people think that
money is everything, no money mean no life. But when we look backward, the ancient people still
can survive without money. Money is just a tool that used to exchange goods. People nowadays
become slaves to the money. They willing to do anything include immoral action in order to get
money. Money is not a dictator. It is just a kind of metal or paper only.
