RE: How To Be A More Fulfilled Blogger

in #education7 years ago

I don't necessarily agree. Coincidentally, I was just listening to a short talk today about personal finance. It is very detrimental for us to think and teach our children that "money is the root of all evil". If so, why are we working for it? Why are we working hard for it? It seems quite contradicting.

Instead, we should be teaching our kids to respect money and to appreciate it. Money, as a tool, can be used to uplift our personal lives and allow us to do more charity. Money, as a tool, allows us to build communities and lessen poverty. We should not be looking at money as an evil.

Imagine for a moment, if we teach our children to respect money instead of treating it as "the root of all evil". We teach our children that money, is a tool, that needs to be respected and appreciated because of how much it can do. As much as we want to appreciate the volunteer worker or the social worker that served the poor a meal each day, it is the contribution of a philanthropist that made that meal possible

I think you and I are on the same page actually and I may not have been clear enough.

Money is not the root of all evil it is the love of it. The points you mentioned here seem to not go against this idea. Someone who is in love with money will not be donating to a charity. They are also more likely too do whatever it takes to grab as much as possible at the detriment of others.

Thanks for the comment! <3

PS: I updated the post in hope to make this more clear.
