Do you think money is the root of all evil, or do you think it's more about how people use money that can lead to bad things happening?

Money in my opinion is not the root of all evil but what people do with it is what leads to bad things. I say so because money in itself is loved and used by all. After all, it is the major source of exchange we have in the world today.

The way people use this money is where the evil comes from. In today's world, people tend to do whatever they can to get money from people, and that is why I said our actions towards money are what is evil but money in itself is not evil.

So I disagree with the saying that money is the root of evil. If money is the root of all evil then many will not associate with it but since it's not, everyone associates with it.

Can you think of any examples where money has done some good, like helping people in need or supporting good causes?

Yes, a case study of a woman who was suffering from a kidney disease and needed money for a kidney transplant. She doesn't have money hence she seeks help I was privileged to contribute my little quota and in the end, the amount needed for the surgery was gotten and the woman was operated upon.

As you can see from the illustration above, money has done something good for a needy person and today the woman is healthy and strong. So money helps people to become better and more satisfied.

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?

I see money in my life as a tool to achieve my goal. I write here on Steemit to earn money and this money helps me to solve some issues that I have in my life as a person.

The goals I intend to achieve today all need money to finance and without this money, it will be difficult if not impossible to achieve all of these goals. So I need money to achieve most of my desires.

It is a powerful tool that makes your goal achievement easier and faster. Assume I want to become like the curators, I need money to purchase Steem and all I will be doing is voting instead of writing.

Have you ever seen situations where people doing anything for money caused problems or made things unfair?

Yes, in this country we see this every day. The case of the presidential election is a clear case where money was used to buy the sit of the presidency. During the campaign of the APC, we heard that money was given to a lot to drop their forms for the current president.

You see how money was used to manipulate and even during the election, we heard that the INEC official was given some money to also rule in the favour of the APC.

There was a lot of chaos in the land and that caused a lot of lives and properties. Now all these persons doing this act were paid with money and that is why most of them carried out the act and today every Nigerian is crying because the injustice has led us to more suffering.
