"Money is the root of all evil" has been debated over and over by students throughout the decades. It has been pointed out that it is the way money is used that is the issue.
It can be used to build or destroy. The enabling power of money is the reason why almost everyone wants more and more of it. Most people work hard for it, a fair exchange for service provided. However, there are those who procure it through illegal or immoral means.
Crimes are committed as a shortcut to getting money. Extortion, abduction for ransom purpose, robbery, commercial crimes such as fraud, breach of trust, misappropriation of funds are just some examples.Massive corruption among those in office has also enriched many, much to the detriment of the citizenry.
Those who have amassed their fortune by sweat and toil sleep easy.
What about those who have been less than honest? Do you think they sleep easy and will the long arm of the Law catch up with them?
Having money makes a difference in lives. Those who suffer from life-threatening diseases can avail themselves of the best medical options. Those without the means can only hope that the period of suffering will be mercifuly short.
A bespoke lifestyle is only possible where money is plentiful. Some are born into it as the saying goes "born with a silver ( but I prefer to use 'golden') spoon in his mouth". The have-nots live from hand to mouth.
It's what you do with money that counts. If you can use it to make a difference in someone's life, you will be blessed in more ways than one.
