It’s good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it’s good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven’t lost the things that money can’t buy.”
-George Lorimer

"You know the love of money is the root of all that is evil." or Money doesn't matter! When I hear these statements it gets my blood boiling. The question I want to ask people that talk like this is, "what rock have you been living under for the last few centuries?"

Like it or not, this world has a value system in place that makes it easy to place a value on a product or service,which is by all normal standards very important to the social system we all participate in everyday.

Why does something good and helpful get a bad rap?

Could it be envy?

Money is an inert object, and if anything can be classified as evil, I think it's the person holding the money. Many things that we don't understand or are envious of gets put into the evil category.

You know it's spoken envy when a person working three jobs trying to keep up with the Jones, yells, " money isn't important."

It's spoken envy when you hear a church lady say, "money is the root of all evil" , but stands in a Publix's grocery store line that is as long as a football field to buy a lottery ticket to win 1.6 billion dollars.

Contradictions are facts of life. What is yes today can be no tomorrow, I understand and accept that fact. Money doesn't have to be one of those contradictions in our minds. Money is just a tool plain and simple.

Nothing more, nothing less. If you take nothing else from this article remember this:

I won't pretend to have some special insight into all of the social ills of our world, but to make a blanket statement like,"money isn't important"or "money is the root of all evil," is misguided and uneducated statement.

We can talk all day long about all the bad things that are happening because we use money, but I have yet to see a 20.00 bill go to jail for theft. When I was young I used to play the blame game ,you blame the person next to you for something you know you did, like fart.

This game was fun as a kid, but creeps into the psychopathic area when we get older and make statements like money is evil.

I know many orthodox religions of the world and con artist of the church have spread this propaganda to benefit themselves.

Using common sense and educating ourselves about the good and usefulness of money gives us an advantage over the mindless sheep that follow without protest.

The best thing we can do to help people is to teach them the value and proper use of money.

Money controls and governs almost every part of their life. It's foolish and misguided to make a statement that money isn't important when it controls so much of our lives.
