Okay, now, I don't know about anyone else, but when I heard that Ty Pennington had been arrested, I screamed from shocked. I can't tell you how many times I have watched his make-over show and just cried with everyone involved.
We spend our lives working, planning, and plotting to be rich and famous, then we finally get there, and realize that life at the top is not all it is cracked up to be. In the last few years how many celebrities have been caught drinking and driving? No need to name them, we all know who they are.
I have always wanted to be a famous actress or writer, but my God, what will the price of fame be for me? Some people have lost their wives, their children, their minds, and their lives. And for what, just for a moment in the spotlight. Now my question is, would it be worth it to you? What are you willing to give in exchange for fortune and fame?

You say this, because it is the right answer. Most people will probably agree with it, though this is not the way that they live their lives. They will sacrifice their mother for the almighty dollar and it is really sad.
How many people have you heard of that have killed relatives for insurance money and things like that. See, the Bible does'nt say that money is the root of all evil, like most people quote it. It says the love of money is the root of all evil.
In other words, people have made money their God, their ultimate source and this is not the way it is suppose to be. Not only that, when you trust God, he can use otherr ways, besides money to give you what you need. A lady at my church gave my sister and her husband a Mercedez, now that's a God kind of gift.

I agree with you, though it's so sad to accept that a lot of people doing crazy things because of money nowadays. Well, there are a lot of factors that rooted this stuffs.. in general. If only these "roots" will be solve (if these can be solve, though it must be solve), then as a chain reaction, greed for money might dissapear.
