    Hello,
    "The love of money is the root of all evil"

    I would like to read your opinions about this quote.(if possible with pro and contra)

    I will start with mine.
    pro:
    people are killing other people for money
    you can never have enough money (" a bit more could not hurt")
    contra:
    money is just like any other thing we use to trade things
    money is just a product, the reasons behind evil things are from other nature.

    People are killing each other over religion.
    People are killing each other over food.
    People are killing each other over water.
    People are killing each other over race.
    People are killing each other over land.
    People are killing each other over ego/pride.

    Money is harmless. And love is a good thing.
    Humans are the root of all evil.

    My laptop is in the other room running through a proxy, maybe I've been sitting in there posting as "liu l" without realizing it?

    DP manages to slide further into the muck every day. liu l, I salute you.

    I agree with it for sure.

    There was a time when I thought more money would make me happier, and I was willing to do things I wouldn't have otherwise. Ended up being the unhappiest years of my life.

    Money is required for living but when the urge to earn more gets out of hand and goes through the roof, then comes the evil through the hole in the roof :)

    If you stay in your limits and use the money for good reasons, then there is no evil
