root of all evil

I don't think money is the root of all evil.There is nothing wrong with that piece of paper.Why should we blame on a piece of paper?(Actually that is a piece of paper.)Human being themselve is the root of all evil.We can take the example of a knife that we created.We can used it to cut/prepare vege or we can used it to kill people.What is the mind of the one who holding it?Good or evil? Hope I answered your question.
