Contest:The root of all evil
Hello my fellow steemians, it is of great pleasure to participate in this contest which says : the root of all evils. I would like to thank the organiser of the contest @sahmie for this contest.
DO YOU THINK MONEY IS REALLY THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL, OR DO YOU THINK ITS MORE ABOUT HOW PEOPLE USE MONEY THAT CAN LEAD TO BAD THINGS HAPPENING
Money is an instrument of exchange. It ia a means of buying and selling and it also helps in fixing a value on things or service. Money is always believed to be the root of all evil, but i don't agree with it.
Money is said to be the root of evil because man have a wrong use of it. Actually, money is just a means of exchange of goods or services. Money does not have hands or brains to know how to hurt people, it is us humans who think of a way to use money as a tool for evil purpose. Most people did wrong looking for a quick means of having a buck or two and finally end up doing some action that hurt another people. But they blame all the fault on money, not knowing that it is their brain that cause the evil.
Money is not the root of all evil. In fact, it is the love of money that is the root of all evil. When a person loves money very much, he/she will do anything just to get money and he will even be jealous of others who has more money than him and he tends to get more money than the person in every possible way even by committing crime. In Nigeria today, the wrong definition of money is one of the factors causing the evil. Many people have this mindset that money is everything, without money life is meaningless. But if you take a look backward the ancient people still survive without money. Money is just a tool to exchange goods, people nowadays has now become slaves to money. They are willing to do anything or everything including committing immoral actions just to get money. Money is not a dictator, it is just a kind of paper or metal only.

Money is definitely not everything but it is something very important. Apart from the basic needs of life, money helps us to achieve our life's goals, purpose and support the things that we care the most which are education, family, health care, charity, adventure and fun. It also helps us to get some of life's intangibles. With money, much good can be done and unnecessary suffering can be avoided or eliminated.
HOW DO YOU PERSONALLY SEE MONEY IN YOUR OWN LIFE
Money in my own opinion is good if used in the right way but it also has its own limitation. Money gave me the opportunity to develop my gifts and talents, but not the courage and discipline to do so, money can grant us the power to make a difference in the lives of others, but not the desire to do so. Money can help us find more happiness, as long as we know what we can and cannot expect from it.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, how much money it costs is not the problem, but how much the money will cost us is very important. Money should not cost us our soul, relationship, our dignity, our joy and our health in simple things in life. People who figure out what they really value and direct their money towards those values have the strongest sense of personal, emotional, and financial well being.
Thanks for reading through.

Indeed money isn't the root of evil; it's a tool for exchanging goods and services. The problem arises when people misuse it due to wrong beliefs or desires. The love of money, not money itself, leads to wrongdoing. Money has positive aspects, supporting education and life goals. Use money wisely, valuing what truly matters, to avoid losing important things like relationships and joy. Success on your entry
I agree with u dear. Thanks for sharing your thought
You are right dear, I really do see money as a means of exchange and not something that is entirely evil, although some people go extra mile to get it, and people blame it on the innocent money, there's somewhere you said in the ancient says, that didn't make use of money, well I don't know, because they had coins, although what they majorly participated in was exchange of goods and services
Success on your entry dear.
Thanks dear
