You don't have do create enemies with anyone, money create enemies for you. You could mind your own business and not have a problem with anyone but those who greed will do bad things to get you.

Desire and lust. Money can also make people do crazy things. Some of us need it to survive in the world. And some use it for pleasure and worldly things. ( Quote), It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter into the kingdom of GOD... because money is all they care about. And it can make you selfish and care not about anything but money.

I think that money is the root of all evil. When someone gets money, usually they become greedy which can cause all sorts of sins.

Thats true also but what are the chances that you'll find a person like that. One in a zillion. Most of the rich people in this world probaly inherited money from their families and don't know what its like to be poor. What I'm talking about is what if everybody start out poor and would have to give up certain things or do certain things for money.

yes this is very true....almost all the disputes which arise in today's world occur because of money...like kidnapping, forgery, murder, theft....all these offenses are committed with the intention to earn more and more money....money is the main motive behind this

Sayings are not always applicable fully on day to day life. Without money nothing can be done. Gone are the days people use to feed free, provide shelter free and give work without qualification.

That never happened to me personally, but it's true. People would turn that way with money sometimes.

Yes it is true money is the root of all evil, just because you have money you can go into anythings. And that can make you land in trouble sometime.

I think that saying is a result of our society's pardigms. People tend to think such things, and in that way they explain themselves why they are poor, and the others - the evil ones - are rich. And why are they evil? Because they have a lot of money, and the more money you have, the more roots of evil you have, right? The moment you stop looking this way at the world, only then you can start getting rich. Money is not the root to all evil - it is the human nature that uses the money. I use money to charity - is this evil? Now that I have more money than before, I contribute more to society, is that evil? People shouldn't blame money for anything - a currupted man is a what he is, and a good man is a good man and that is it. Money is nothing but a piece of paper...
