Is Money the Root of All Evil?
When I started my online business, it was with a view to making money. If you think that money is the root of all evil, does this make me evil? No, I am just an ordinary woman, trying to make an honest living, pay my taxes and bills and provide for my family.
So why do some believe that money is the root of all evil? Wars have been waged in the name of money - or to protect the interests of a particular nation or state. The reasons may have been wrapped up in pretty packages to make them more palatable for the general populace. Of course, we the people are needed to support wars, because it is not politicians that face the enemy, but you and me or our husbands, brothers, and sons.
As the song goes "money makes the world go round" and until someone comes up with an alternative that will enable us to earn a living, it is here to stay. So we need to think about money and what it does for us, our economy, our country and the world. How do we use money? Does what we do with our hard-earned cash fund evil? Most would think that this is ridiculous. When we go into a high street store to buy something that we want, is this evil? Of course not. But, could the choices that we make when we spend our money, or where we bank, inadvertently fund it? For example, if you bank with certain institutions, how do you know who or for what purpose they lend money. The only way is to ensure that you use a bank that has strong ethical policies. Fortunately, there is a growing concern, certainly in the United Kingdom, about food being produced ethically, banking ethically, and purchasing products in the supermarket that truly benefit the growers and are produced from an ethical source.
So returning to the theme of this article, is money the root of all evil - no I believe that it is greed that is evil. If there was no greed in the world, it would be an entirely different place. We would, for example, not have corruption without greed. Greed occurs at several levels, at an individual level as well as a company or corporate level.
Perhaps, greed is what greases the wheels of the developed economies of the west? Would we end up with no or very few entrepreneurs looking to make money? This in turn would generate economic growth and fund via taxation the services that we rely on in the United Kingdom. It would also probably lead to increased employment, resulting in those people going out and buying goods and services - and so the wheel continues.
