It is said money is the root of all evil. Isn't that true? When you look at all the things that happen in life, what people do just to be satisfy with life isn't it about money? Who wakes up in the morning and wouldn't consider how much money he would want to make or spend on that day? Even before the next day, week, months or year(s) many people have got their financial preplanned calendar hanging in their houses. We cannot do without money and no one on earth would live comfortably without having money, in fact good money to spend.
Every living being desire a good life, life full of merriment, comfort, pleasure, peace, joy, riches etc. We love to own every good thing that would ascertain a beautiful life on earth. Now imagine all the beauty of what and how money could change our lives, how one could be very poor and when he has money he becomes very okay and lives a good life but despite the beauty of money in humans life it is depicted the root of all evil. Isn't that a big stroke on the paper gold? Well, i thought otherwise.
Now one thing we should know is that money is not evil but how we desire to have money is what makes it evil. We all know how many use diabolical means to get money, ritualist, fraudsters, scammers, criminals, corrupt officials, cheaters and deceivers etc. So, money becomes evil because it wasn't gotten in the right way. In the process of all the above mentioned acts many lives would be lost, many properties would be stolen or destroyed, many businesses would fall, many would fall from hero to zero. The desire or simply put the love of money is the root of all evil. There isn't any place or anything one would do in life without thinking about how much to spend, that is money...money in the morning, money at noon, money at night, many would have sleepless night thinking about money. What a life we live in...!
When you love money so much it would lead you to sudden destruction. There re people who have money but never satisfied, almost everyone of us re victims of wanting to have more money, the more we have the more we desire to have more, we never stop hungering for more money, just like Oliver Twist. A man without contentment would end up losing even that which he has. Ask your self the last time you lost some money in some attractive investment or business platforms what was the motives behind your move to invest in such places? Wasn't it because the platforms promises a mouthwatering opportunity to become a millionaire overnight? We rush to this places and then we cry so soon and begin to blame oneself or people who brought such ideas to you. We need to work to get money, don't run into get rich quick opportunities because just as you rush into it so would you be rushed out after your money crashed out. Money might be so evil but money answereth all things. Its evil when you get it the wrong way but its good when you get it legally.
A man got dubbed about $15,000 just because he wanted to have more money. His selfish desire to become very rich landed him in the hands of evil men who uses their fetish powers to deceive him and the worst of the scenario was that the man borrowed virtually 90% of the money that he was scammed. Just imagine what debt that he has got himself into, greediness for money, greediness to have money at all cost got him into a lifetime regret. Such has happened to very many people and it would continue to be until you purposefully tame your innate desires for quick wealth or riches. Please, appreciate the little you have, work on it and you would be surprise how well you will grow with it. Shun every get rich quick opportunities, it would destroy than make you good. Don't give ear to anyone who would say, come i will do some charms for you to become rich, riches don't come in diabolical means, riches comes with ones work and dedication. Shun every evil and make legit money to live happier the rest of your life, don't destroy your destiny. HAVE A GREAT AND SUCCESSFUL DAY.
Very true! Thanks for the article. Steem on!
Thank you, am glad to see you around. Steem on!
Very thought provoking read @petercheng some lessons learned too late in life is how to make money work for you.
Never go into debt, overdraft or use money you cannot afford to use. Take a small amount, invest after researching where you think you can make a small amount grow. Grow in an approximate percentage that makes sense (those offering massive returns are normally rip-off scammers)
Absolutely right. The problem is people never want to endure and grow little by little but instead they go after those offering huge returns and in the end the money is all gone. I have been victim a lot of time but i have learned to tame my quick desire and work slowly but successfully. As its wisely said is better to be late than be the late. Thanks for this awesome comment.
Well put Peter. Anything worthwhile is acquired only through dedication and hard, honest work. Money, with a strong, honest master, is no threat-but money, as a master, is the root of all evil!
Yeah, thanks friend for nice contribution.
