Money will move you away from you God, your friends, and your family members. Many people kill for money, they are called professional assassins, others simple use money to break other people's marriages, money is the root of all evils no doubt about it!

@academic2: It really depends on how you view money. Don't you think churches don't need money in materializing their missions and activities? Don't you think pastors and priests will be there preaching the word of God to church members if they are not paid a salary?

Money is not the root of all evil, basing it on the good book where the quote came from, take note that " it is too much love of money that is the root of all evil". It only becomes evil when more important things take a back seat like God, family, friends,health, morality etc...Remember my friends money is not everything but life would surely be hard without it, all of us deserve to be rich, it's how we earn it, how we treat it and how we spend it decides whether or not it becomes evil or good.

Money is needed in life as it gives lot of things in life but it takes away many things in life when getting many things money gives also a lot but takes away also a lot of things. money can get luxury but it cant give health, money can get bed but it cant get sleep, money can get books but it cant get intelligence to any one.

Money itself isn't evil, it is the love of it that can cause problems. The thing of it is, we all need money to survive on, as everything costs so much more than they used to. I really think it is what you do with any money that you get, as it can be used in a bad way but also in a good way. If it is used in a bad way, it can be a detriment and not a help to us. Money doesn't make us happy, but it can make things easier for us. It seems that the more money onee has, the more they want, and I think tha tis common with most people. It seems like some just can't get enough, and always wanting more. I just want money to pay my bills and other things so I can live a normal life. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

Money itself does not make anyone happy I think, but a lack of it can make people unhappy for sure. So a balanced financial situation is the best for most people.

Money alone cannot make one happy. Happiness depends on many things. But as money is very essential in life, we cannot do without it.

Money is a necessity for our basic needs. Also, we need money for some additional things like Vehicle, good clothes, eating out, watching movies in cinemas etc, which makes us happier. However, money cannot solve each of our problem, and cannot eliminate our sorrows fully.So, try to earn more money, but do not be greedy beyond an extent. However, sometimes, we do get more and more into money making, and forget that taking time off and relaxing is also important.

Well, money does make some people happy. But, money is not the root of all evil. Money will never be evil. The greed for money and the lust for money is what makes money evil. Money is just paper, so why is it evil?

Yea money does make people happy upto a certain level. But it cant make you happy for all the time. You also need some friends and family to live happily as money is not everything in our life. Happy mylotting. Regards, harry.

no its not the root of all evil. it depends on the person on how he/she is going to use it. yes there are some who uses it to do bad things but there are also some who shares it less fortunate people. they give things to help other people which is not evil. and yes we cannot live without money because almost everything wee see can be bought with money only.
