Is Money a root cause of all Evil?

Money the root cause of all evil!!!! Is it true?

Hey friends, many times I have heard these lines over and over again.” Paisa ka Asar hai” or “Money is the Root cause of all evil” or “paise ke karan hi aisa hua”. All of these lines explain one thing i.e. according to many people Money is the root cause all evil.

Do you believe so? At least I don’t believe so. Yes, I don’t believe that money is the root cause of all evil. Money really matters my friend. Let me explain you with an example, suppose you are outside a shop and you don’t have a single penny in your pocket and you are continuously staring at the delicious food items in the shop and imagining yourself eating the stuff but, of no use since you can’t get the item because you don’t have enough money or rather you don’t have any money. So as per this example money is important since, it satisfies your hunger. Let me take another example you are in a shopping mall and have purchased some item within your budget but, suddenly you see some cool stuff and you think it will look good on your mother/father/girlfriend/boyfriend etc but of no use since you are out of your budget and you don’t have any extra penny to spend. So, money also satisfies your requirement.

So, in short money plays as a mediator in satisfying your needs or requirement or education etc. Although money is fulfilling all your needs, so why it has become the Root cause of all evil? Money doesn’t change you, it just helps to change your appearance, Money doesn’t make you bad it and neither does it makes you selfish. Money doesn’t have any human character to make changes in other person’s mind; so the evil is actually due to the change of the person’s attitude and not the money. The attitude of person changes and it’s not the fault of money.

Take the above example of boy standing outside the shop. Now, take 2 persons who are equally rich say Multi-Millionaire. Suppose Mr. A feeds the boy by giving him some bucks and Mr. B just look at the boy and does nothing apart from giving a grief look. Now, what will you say, is this the Money that is the root cause of evil or the attitude of person that is root cause?

Money is not bad at all. You should definitely have it. You should be satisfied with what you have but should definitely desire of having more. However, you cannot really say that money is the root cause of all evil.

Checkout the Money Quote that I have pasted with the help of various sites,

(a)I do agree that money can't buy happiness, but somehow, it's more comfortable to sit & cry in a BMW than on a bicycle! Anonymous

(b)Money isn't the most important thing in life, but it’s reasonably close to oxygen on the “Gotta have it” scale. Anonymous

(c) The Lack of Money is the root cause of all evil. Mark Twain

(d)“Money may not buy happiness, but I'd rather cry in a Jaguar than on a bus.”  Francoise Sagan

(e) The two most beautiful words in the English language are 'cheque enclosed.”  Dorothy Parker

So, have the money and be happy but, it does not mean that you should change your attitude with money. It is cool that you change your outer looks but, inside the outer appearance the original ‘YOU’ must not change his/her thoughts or thinking. Try to get more money but, first of all be satisfied with what you have currently and remember money is not the root cause of all the evils.

Be and Live Happy!!!
