What is it that makes money so dang evil in the world making people do stupid *** things often screwing either themselves and/or others?

Only the very rich, the religious crazies, and those in power say that money is evil. It's the lack of sufficient money to live in dignity that is evil. When people are living comfortably they usually don't do stupid things. They usually don't do illegal things. They don't have to.

The ultra rich, seem to be an aberration. They are willing to ruin our entire country to gain more money in spite of the fact that they and their heirs will never be able to spend all they have now.

The crimes committed by most people, would not have been committed if they had sufficient money to live in comfort and dignity. Evil is the lack of money, for all but the "1%".

They would love nothing more than to have power, and money can give someone that luxury, but it does not replace what really matters in life, and that's what you have to find out for yourself. People don't like to think of the small things they have as what they want, like spending time with others or family as a luxury. They can only see nice things as what they must have in their possession and money can get them that expensive thing they must have in order to feel happy. we all have something we want, it's what drives us to create, invent, and achieve our goals, and striving for the gold at the end of the mine, as one person might put it, is how some people get their, even if it hurts others/ themselves to get it. Maybe money wont be needed one day, because we will all be perfect happy beings, but that kind of world would be a bit boring now wouldn't it? :)

There is nothing any mire 'evil' about money than a bullet or a screwdriver!

All 'good' and all 'evil' exist in the (vain, judgmental) eye (thoughts) of the beholder!

The quote is that "Love of money is the root of 'evil'!"

That takes the onus from the object/money and leaves it where it belongs, you!

"We don't see the world as it is, we see it as we are!"

Because you can't get anything without it so people want it bad.

evil---D-evil. devil,

its that people care about the money more than themselves to satisfy there own personal amusement either its drugs or what ever it is. the government made money knowing people would sell their souls for money
