... "money is the root of all evil"...
ChrisL
I believe the quote you referred to actually says, "For the love of money is the root of all evil:..." It was the Apostle Paul addressing Timothy in First Timothy chapter six, verse ten. The LOVE of money is GREED. So Paul actually said greed is the root of all evil. Money is neutral in the equation, it is a tool. No better, or no worse than it's user. Take a claw hammer, for example. It can be used to build a house and it can also be used to kill the homeowner. That is up to the one who possesses it. Not the hammer itself.
Having said that, I am living on a fixed income and many of my family are in poor health. Money could make their lives easier!
