Is Money the Root of All Evil?

Money is the root of all evil.

You sometimes hear people say negative things about money and for the most part these are the people who have none.

Some people will tell you that money can't buy you love. While this is true, it is a ridiculous statement. Love is an emotion, not a product available at the local grocery store. Do people who say this believe that you think you can actually buy love? Are they just expressing negative feelings for money because of their lack of it?

No matter what people say about money, the fact remains that is a vital part of life today. Money remains the only standardized trade for goods, services, information, personal debts and travel.

Without money you can't properly educate yourself. You can learn the things you are capable of learning or expand your awareness.

Without money you can't afford to eat the food that properly nourishes your body and gives you energy and vitality.

Without money you can't spare the time to properly exercise or have the amount of leisure to relax and put your mind at ease.

Without money you can't spend any considerable amount of time doing the things you love, and this is vital to your sanity.

Without money you can't travel and experience or understand a variety of cultures and societies.

Are all these things evil?

No they are not. In fact it would be hard to imagine having the lack of happiness in the presence of the things listed above.

The fact also remains that the good you can do on this planet is strictly limited to your presence, without substantial financial backing. I am not telling you that you shouldn't personally help people. I am saying that while you are personally help people, the money you have could be traveling the world building schools and hospitals, food banks and recycling plants. Your money could be researching the cure for diseases and making advancements in solar power and bio fuel.

Are these things evil?

I think people would be amazed how much free time they had if they weren't worried about money. Free time they could spend doing a multitude of things that would leave the planet in a better state than it was before they arrived.

Are any of these things mildly wrong? So who could call them evil?
