IS LOVE OF MONEY THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL ?

Most of us were mindset that money is the root of all evil, and many of us were uneducated that it is the LOVE OF MONEY which is the root of ALL EVIL.

When I was a kid, ‘pag may naririnig akong nag-uusap tungkol sa pagpapayaman o pagpapadami ng mga ari-arian, naiisip ko kaagad ‘Ay mga masasamang tao sila, pera pinag-uusapan, ayokong maging kaibigan sila, mga muka silang pera.’ But don’t blame me, kasi dun ako lumaki eh, lumaki ako sa isang surrounding na hindi pinag-uusapan ang pera lalung-lalo na sa hapag-kainan. At kapag pinag-usapan niyo ang pera, magiging masama ang tingin ng mga taong nakapaligid sa inyo. Kaya nga nung bata ako, ayaw kong maging mayaman eh hehe, kasi masama ang tingin ko sa mga mayayaman :) . Tingin ko sa kanila mga greedy na tao, tingin ko sa kanila, naging mayaman lang sila kasi meron silang ginawang masama o kaya naman, nanlamang sila sa kapwa.

Until one time, I was educated financially when I read the book of Robert Kiyosaki ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’. He explained that MONEY IS NOT THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL but LACK OF MONEY MAY CAUSE A LOT OF EVIL. Fighting in marriage because the couple doesn’t have enough money is evil. Having a broken family and the reason is because they lack of money is evil. Not sending your kids to school and the reason is you are lack of money is evil. Being uncontented in this life and you were guilty because you are  lack of money is evil. Stealing someone’s property because you don’t have the money to buy it is evil. These are only few examples that may happen to you or to our family if we love the money itself or if we were lack of money.

Remember that money itself is only a tool that can buy material things and can make us happy. But don’t forget that money itself can also be a medium that can make you or someone’s life miserable.

Don’t be negative when someone talks about money and if their mission is to help and educate others, be positive about it! Don’t be afraid to tell your friends and family that you want more money and you want to be rich, if that’s your way to help others, and make your life more comfortable and secure, go for it! As long as you don’t love the money itself, go for it and fight for your dreams! It is not about the money, but it is about what the money can do and how it can help us.
