In our world today what will be the basic need would say The Money because it could buy anything the food, technologies, or either houses, and Life of the people. (1)How does make it BAD? either that the Money can give us good things and enjoying our Life just like those people who were rich they can travel around the World and able to buy they want or need. But before answering that question (1) just think of it does the Money are the basis of enjoying the Life or an instrument to be a basis of successful one's?

Money is neither good or bad. It is a thing (or power) neutral in origin. It's attribute of being good or bad depends mainly on the user. Seriously? The thought of money as the source of all evil is just overrated and incorrect.
In this present society that we're living in--especially in cities, money is a medium used to purchase us things that is necessary for our survival now. It is good if we only use money to do legal things like purchasing the things that we need for survival and using money to entertain us.
Sometimes, money becomes the basis for enjoying life. Because (1)you need money to maintain your health. If you are without money, how can you keep yourself healthy (and your family)? How can you even feed yourself (and your family)? (2)sometimes you need money to buy yourself things that you take pleasure in. Such as a going to the movies or good restaurant food [in my opinion]. And (3)in case of emergencies, it's the money that you have that you get to help not only yourself but others as well. For example: You can't help those victims of calamities if you yourself is helplessly without clothes, a house, food, water, and financial support.
BUT, money is not a basis for one's successful life. Success is only achieved once you are successful in achieving the goals you have set for yourself to do. And once you've achieved your goals, you may achieve true happiness.
It is not money that will give you true happiness. It is merely a medium (possibly) to get you to enjoy life but it does not bring you true happiness. Hope this helps. Happy MyLotting!

At first, that was how I also think. Most renowned "successful" people now are working harder and harder. So does earning money that much becomes a basis for success?
But later, I understood something. These "successful" people, are they employees or self-employed or businessmen or investors?
If the person is an employee, the more successful he is on his career, the more he needs to work harder and harder and have lesser time for himself and his family because he needs to maintain his actual social status. The same goes for self-employed ones.
If the person is a businessman(a business owner) and/or investor, the more successful they are, the less they have to work and the more time they have.

that's what I mean many people who were rich or business man and yet they were busy man which not bad to have social status etc, for their respected job or kind of it. But still they have commitment on their self for their family and respected area I've notice not all but some business man that their family were intact yet their are missing with it to spend time to each other and responsibility to be as parent or a child. They were success in their carrier when their family would be it.

thank you, have good point on it, but when I face reality when the people have money tend to be so busy to work and work and not contented of what they will have it may have their goal to be in that level, Money will not be the basis for one's successful life and many people were disturb in finding money and might forgot what brings them to find money.

I agree, everything has an advantage and disadvantage or simply good and bad. When it comes to money, yes it could buy almost everything but since it's only a material in this world it can't help us to have a guaranteed wonderful life. The only problem with money is that some people always think that money has a great part on one's life which makes money control their life.

or might be the problem of some people that they want themselves to be in control with the money, still the person can decide when they don't want to be in control in money, yes that money were good as simply saying that let the money go after the person not the people will do after the money, its quite difficult to understand with it, but simply stating that many people will measure their success in terms of money or other way around.

Hi!According to the Word of God, the love of money is the root of all evil. We need money for our daily needs but loving it rather than loving God is the dangerous thing. Possible money will ruin your entire life..

Money is the root of all evil. I guess not. We decide if we do good or bad things. People tend to do bad things when they are broke or in a bad financial status. We need money to survive. It's a basic need. Happy myLotting!

it is just a matter of how you prioritize things, how strong your belief to GOD, and how you recognize bad from evil. Money is just a material things to think of.Why you need to spin your life to it. There are lot of things to be happy and satisfy in life. There are things in our life that is entirely free but we usually neglected. Why start searching it and not focus on money.

not all those having financial status were doing bad things but also those who were in the top the rich one's that the bad things they were greedy to have and being to be in the bed of money, not all rich were bad and not all poor ones do bad. when we say the basic need that's when the people to bad things eager to have money in their life not having money work for themselves, living without money is not bad rather earning money in the bad way will do bad things. can still a person be measure their success in terms of money?

Money is indeed important in our everyday needs. But money cannot buy the peace, love and happiness that will truly make us whole as a person. Money is just an instrument to be able to live everyday. But what makes a person himself is being a real true person, having the freedom to love and be loved.

More money is not good and less money is also not good. Some people start the stolen activity and more money means misuse the money. So sufficient money according to our capacity or requirement is good.

Money is one of the necessities of the life like a shelter, food and cloths. It is good when utilized in a proper manner instead of running for it badly and thereby hurting the feelings of others. Money itself is not at all bad but some people use it in a wrong way and there by it becomes bad. Money can buy a house but not a home, a temple but not a God.Everybody should have enough money to live peacefully and comfortably.

Money can be both good and evil. I like money, but I would never fall in love with money. I am happy with what I have, but would like some more. We do not have a lot of money, but God is more important to me than money. I prefer to worship God over money and would never make money my God. God is definitely more important to me than money. I think the love of money can be very evil. My aunty and uncle are evil people and love money more than anything else. Too much money gives people power that is bad. They lord it over people and pretend to help them, then make things worse for the person. My aunty and uncle have paid someone's debts off, then demanded all the money back plus more in one lump sum. Money can do bad things to people.

money can temp always people to things bad or either good but in the bad way or in good way. I mean that many are eager to get money at the same time they can shared partly small amount of they have and with consequences those people being shared those money will fall into debt hmmmp. yes it was good to do but in bad intention to give and expecting big in return? nothing else when we give, give without expecting in return.

It's not the money which is good or bad. It's the use we give to. Do we control our desire have more and more money? How much do we really need to live well and how much do we really want? Those persons who have more than enough, the rich ones, do the use part of it to help others? We have to put the limit to the meaning of money. But, it's also right that some persons consider money like a god.

let the money run for you and not you or our self run for the money. yes we must control our desire but those temp always be their when got money specially when a person filled or being promoted or earning high they would temp to use for good or bad, for gambling or charity?, for business or donation?. as the earth form the money runs go and through it may come from bad works or either good way money will rotate through out person's life.

Money is vital to survive. We are constantly in need of money even if we have enough of it. The question is how much is enough. The best use of money lies in how we make use of it. If we use money prudently to ensure our happiness and needs and save money for future use that is the best way to utilise money. However, some people become slave to money and let money control their lives. When money control our lives it can cause damage to us and everyone around too.

good point also, but is always the Money be so vital to survive? or doesn't make Money measuring device in how successful the person? hmmpp. too crucial to make an answer with it. their would two will differ with it the Money as good and Many as bad, when it comes bad your right the Money will become the Master of the people or person and good will let the Money go after you(people). but being Money as Vital? i cant imagine how its vital :D. Human will survive in 5 days without money as long as their would be food to eat and water to drink either years the Human would survive :D if its Vital to survive hmmpp... our Human race right now will not be existing, yes Money people's need, some will say they want it. :)
