Money is the root of all evil.When are having lots of money you can do business and
live a life just like a king. You can purchased anything that goes your imagination
whatever it maybe.You can buy anyone at anytime because you compensate him or her with your money,including their dignity because they know that you can give their price in exchange for the money.Money is really a good commodity,but only man has the capacity to used it to all who needs it very badly,and with your evil needs,it could be given immediately.

"The love of money is the root of all evil", is an old Biblical quote (forgive me if I have got it slightly wrong) - and to most people, it is indeed the "root" of evil (when in OTHER people's hands!). Now, while the love of money may cause people to do stupid or immoral things, I'm afraid I'm not convinced it's the root of evil at all. In fact, I'll go further and state this as an alternative:
"The love of POWER is the root of all evil". All the trouble in the world comes down to one thing - the desire for power over others. This is a tendency to be found in each one of us - except we rarely have the opportunity to exercise it directly. But to those who do, power corrupts.

Thank you for your response.You can say it to me that it is true that power comes from your money, and without money you could be powerless. The real culprit of this is not power, but the silent money, which I state last time as the real evil. You would never turn evil, if you have just enough money, but if you have more than what you like to spend, then the evilness of your character could interpret into a realistic monster in yourself.Some people desguises that they are fun of giving out gifts and donations to the poor for charitable purposes, but are just enclined to other profiteering schemes in their businesses, so that the amount that
they gain from the scheme would be slashed a few amount, and because of the hugeness of the profit, the public specially the recipient would definitely accept the big amount, not knowing that it is only a fraction of the profit.It is just a game of money.
