IS MONEY THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL?

While the love of money is the starting point of  evil, most misunderstand the meaning Money is the root of all evil, having grown up in the church I've never heard it explain from the pulpit fully how it should be interpreted. While they're riches greater than money, money matters and makes a great deal of difference.  

What matters is how you view money, is it about Power and control, or is a tool, is a means of bettering one's life in the form of trade for goods and services.   Money in itself is NOT EVIL  and for so many who live there life's with a poverty consciousness, simply because they lack the understanding that their beliefs about the subject is what is paralyzing them.

If you are among those who would use the phrase, MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL, don't say it unless you fully intend to explain it, what you're saying impact life's, and  in ways you may never understand, and if you are of some authority, keep in mind how, what you say will impact others.  

"When a man is down and out and on the street, unable to get any job at all,
something happens to his spirit which can be observed in the droop of his
shoulders, the set of his hat, his walk and his gaze. He cannot escape a
feeling of inferiority among people with regular employment, even though he
knows they are definitely not his equals in character, intelligence or ability".

Think and Grow Rich

For those finding them self's in a predicament such as this, they will often find even his or her friends seeing them self's as superior to you and viewing you as a casualty.

They are  employers who seek to take  advantage of those who may be down and out rather than seeing them as a asset to their business.  Instead they offer wages intended to keep you down , showing one example of greed which leads to that evil derived from money.

This is the type of ignorance in business that leads to our present economy issues. Yes it's a way that will work for awhile, Then what we repeat the cycle again in another 70-80 Years.
