So you think that money is the root of all evil?

Have you ever asked what is the root of money?

Money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them.

Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value.

Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force.

Money is made possible only by the men who produce.

Is this what you consider evil?

LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Why do people always get this wrong? 🤷🏻‍♂️

To have money means to have options. It's quite natural for all beings to try to move into the position from where they have more options. If you live in a dark corner, you might dream of a life on the hill top - you might love to have a position of more options. Love of money is nothing more or less than that, isn't it?

Not at all. An aspiration to improve one’s position in life is VERY different to a love of money. Hence the saying!
