Money Is The Root Of All Evil

What is money?  I bet that everyone knows "money" very well.  In short, money is the medium in a trade. Yes, money is nothing but only a medium in a trade. But, I totally disagree that money is the root of all evil. Money itself is not an evil, it is harmless.  In fact, evil comes from money users, that is, we, human beings!

Again, money is an object, a medium in a trade and it is harmless. It is labelled "an evil" because of human beings - their evil thoughts and actions! Because of money, a lot of crimes occur like robbery, snatch, theft and burglary. People are willing to commit crimes mentioned because of their greed. They desire wealth, status and power. Laconically, greed in mankind leads them to crimes, but not money!

Take gambling for instance - a game, which requires people to risk their money, in order to get more! Wow, we could win a big amount of money in a gamble if we are fortunate enough! We could "earn" money without working! How wonderful it is! Obviously, most people will risk their money in gabling, in the hope to win great amount of money. Like the Chinese saying goes, if a little money does not go out, great money will not come in. Because of this sort of saying, most people especially Chinese are willing to risk their "little money" to win "great money". Some compulsive gamblers may encounter bankruptcies as a result of indulging themselves in gambling. Is this money's fault? No, it is not! It is the fault of humans - their evil thoughts! In general, greed, again, causes evil, not money.

As a conclusion, evil is not caused by money. Money looks like ab evil because it is used by "evil" humans to accomplish their "evil" plans like the points mentioned above. Consequently, humans themselves are considered as the root of all evil, money is only a "victim".
