Still many people believe that
money is the root of all evil. But if we will analyze this into its proper
perspective, money is just part of the daily lives of human beings. How could one live without
money ? He has nothing to buy something he needs in order to survive. Even the farmer from a far-flung barangay needs money to buy fertilizer, canned goods and almost everything he needs to continue living. There is nothing wrong with money because this is the monetary currency of every country. Those people who say “
money is the root of all evil” is not really aware of how money operates in order to make this nation survived. Think of a day when no one has money to buy food, many will suffer of too much hunger and many will be brought to hospitals. Even the Holy Bible speaks of the importance of money in everybody’s daily routine.
Having no money is, in fact, the root of all evil. Why? If you listen to news reports on the radio, television and newspapers, many criminalities were done by poor individuals that has no money to buy food. Snatching, robbery, hold up, swindling, thief and all other petty
crimes were orchestrated by people whose lives are threatened by too much poverty. When a family man has nothing to eat, nothing to support his family, his option would be to do bad things in violation of the will of God. When God is no longer in his right mind, that is the time for evil to come in and temp the man to disobey God and commit sin by doing thieveries and other crimes. Money is not the root of all evil but having no money is.
