INTRUDUCTION
Hello my fellow steemian, it good to be here once, again.
Today is a new day and a new contest that says THE ROOT OF ALL EVILS. This is a wonderfull contest and with this, we all can learn so many things from different people.
Do you think money is really the root of all evil, or do you think it's more about how people use money that can lead to bad things happening?
I have so many things to say about money, money have spirit, this spirit works in good and also work in bad too. Am saying this according to what i have seen. Money is not they root to all evil, it depend on how human being use it.
For example, a guy is really in need of a phone, and at they same time he does not have that money to buy it, instead of him having patient and waiting for they right time or even he goes to work for they money, the guy will try his possible to get that money.
For instance they money of that particular phone was 150k, since this guy does not have that money he will rather put his hand in a bad place to get they money fast fast, with this way, that money has influence him in a bad way.
So for me it depend on how us as human use money and it becomes the root of evil.
Can you think of any examples where money has actually done some good, like helping people in need or supporting good causes?
As i said, money has a good part and a bad part.
Some people who do content on they social media, before they start getting money on platform, they have to put more effot. While doing that everyday, after some years, like 1to2 years, facebook or any social media will start paying that person.
This one they person work for it, when he or she receive they money, that money will help they person do one or two things for him or her self.
Some people do extend that money to help others that do not have.
So with that, i have explain that money the human being earn on facebook or any social media have help his life and others lifes too.
How do you personally see money in your own life? Do you think of it as a tool to achieve your goals and create opportunities, or do you have a different way of looking at it?
For me if i have money i will be able to achieve good things for myself.
In my country nigeria, things are very costly. people who are in nigeria will know, if one don't have anough money, that person wont be able to accomplish his or her goal.
Like today, i bought a new phone, and i use money to get it, if i did not have that money, i won't have been able to accomplish that goals, i have been using my mom phone to write, so today as money entered my hand i went directly to plazza to get a phone for myself, and that made me happy.
If i did not have that money i won't have been able to get a phone for myself. So if i have more money i will accomplish more goals for myself.
Have you ever seen situations where people doing anything for money caused problems or made things unfair?
Some people go to far to kill children and adult just to get money, with this, if that person is been held by the police, he or she will be sentence to life in gell.
It does not only end there, some people go to some extence not to save God and they backslide because according to them God is not giving them what there want. They do not know God is not a man. Some do go extra to kill girls and cut of their private part for money .
This is very bad, and i know it not happening in Nigeria along, it happening all over the world. I pray it should all stop.
So friends thanks for reading my post, i hope you have learnt so many thing. I invite @tripple-e @mesola @ekemini01 to participate in this contest.

@newekemini5, your entry thoughtfully explores the duality of money, portraying it as having both positive and negative impacts. You emphasize the role of individual choices in determining whether money becomes a force for good or evil. Sharing personal experiences, such as buying a new phone, adds a relatable touch. Steem on
Thank you very much
From what you said @newekemini5. Don't you think it's the over impressed attitude that people have towards money that makes it evil?
You said, money has spirit. Wow!! I love that expression. Can you back it up with the scripture? I really want to understand why you said such
On the positive side, you acknowledge that money earned through social media can bring about positive change, benefiting both individuals and communities. Additionally, your personal experience with buying a phone illustrates the practical role money plays in achieving personal goals in a cost-intensive environment like Nigeria. Lastly, your mention of extreme actions some people take for money, such as harming others, sheds light on the dark side of financial desperation.
Success on your entry dear
Thank you very much
Hello dear friend, I agree hundred percent with your post that it depends on the man how he utilizes the money properly. The evil is not in the money but in the thoughts of the man. If any money is used for any good work then it is good money. It is man's thought that puts that money to good use. Good luck with the contest.
Thank you very much
