"Money is the ROOT of ALL Evil" / myLot

November 2, 2022 1:19am CST

Happy Halloween my dear myLotter friends! :-) Am just dropping by to let you know I'm still alive :-D Solving a land dispute single handedlly can be the toughest, precarious and most convoluted on-going challenge I have ever experienced in my entire 48-years of existence. I had gone through the process of applying legal remedies. But still, administering land estate can turn into a complicated and ugly mess if you let your guard down. I MUST ALWAYS DOUBLE OR TRIPLE MY VIGILANCE, not only against unscrupulous "buyers" but also with "blood sucking" and backstabbing relatives of mine. So true the saying goes "money is the root of all evil"! Human GREED knows no limits!

Hello, glad to see you around. Do not tell me about "blood sucking" and backstabbing relatives, I had the experience when I inherited from Mom and we had to sell her apartment.

@sol_cee I was not interested in keeping the apartment. As I have a brother, I inherited the 50% of the apartment, the other 50% was property of my brother and I had no intention to share an apartment (and all the expenses and problems) with him, I also did not want to have the problem to make a tax declaration and to pay taxes in Italy. I wanted to sell the apartment as soon as I could.

@LadyDuck now I understand. That could have been putting yourself such a stressful situation. Glad you made such a wise decision

Why did you have to sell it? It’s your inheritance

People are greedy by nature and want everything that they can their hands on.

Well, actually it is greed for money that is the root of all evil. Money is just a tool for either good or bad it all depends on the intention of the holder. Money is either good or evil. It simply follows what the holder wants it to be.

Thank you so much. Normally, civil cases takes several years here in the Philippines but as long as the property is in our possession for more than ten (10) years or more with GOOD FAITH, we are on the winning side :-)

Relatives can be the worst people. There are several of mine that I stay as far away from as possible. I'm happy to see you on myLot. I had been wondering how you were doing lately. I hope you enjoyed your Halloween.

We have a saying about relatives in Italy "parenti serpenti" it means "relatives snakes".

@LadyDuck Some relatives are worse than others... That's a good saying!

@DaddyEvil I agree and you discover how they really are only when money is involved.

That should be : - The LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Sorry you had to go through that. Presently a distant family member of mine is in a court battle with his aunt over land.
