Money is the Root of all Evil

[AureliusMaximus]

Bible is very straightforward

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.

This quote has been abused and changed to fit people agenda for so long and its a big fat lie as they leave out the part "for the love of" part of the sentence; so it makes money look like a really bad thing. It is all a bunch of complete BS.

A prime example how people twist things for their own interest.

Much of the wisdom and stories are timeless and applicable to any era. They also "knew about women", man was warned not to be stupid and weak behind women.

True too. The old books are a good read whether you are religious or not. You can still find good things to learn from them.

Yep, indeed.
I know some very wealthy people myself and they are some very hard working, kind, honest and caring people.

But there is as you mention always some 'rotten apples in a bunch'.
Sadly it is always those that are mentioned. It's the as'sholes that receives the attention...

But with that said there is rotten apples in all layers and working classes of society - that should not be forgotten; from the working class, to the middle class to the wealthy ones; you will find scumbags and sh'tholes in all of them. But most of them (In the majority of all classes of society) are still good honest and hard working people.

'I don't like that bar its full of stuck up people' = Full of attractive people who I believe have no chance with - out of my league'.

'All muscular/lean men have small penises, no personality etc = 'I wish I was like that but can't/won;t commit to whats needed to reach that level'.

Easier to tear people down than change yourself.

Money = power dude. The one's who are flashy either are celebrities or do not control it directly (I.E. family money or bank money). Traditionally, people with money you'd never see coming. They're undercover... They like it that way.

 

[AureliusMaximus]

The one's who are flashy either are celebrities or do not control it directly

Actually the ones that are most flashy/the worst ones in my experience are the ones that are not really rich, but "wanna-be-rich"; so they buy the stupid Rolex, Cartier (or whatever), expensive clothes, cars etc on credit, (and brag about it), because they think that they have to behave like that because that is the image that society sells them, (Because that is how wealthy people behave, right?).
So they act accordingly and trying to live up to that appearance which is mostly false Hollywood/media bs.

Easier to tear people down than change yourself.

Amen to that. It is very true.
Most people like to dream about it, but do not want to pay the price to get there.

You got that all wrong..

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1 Timothy 6:10&version=NIV

Money is nor good or bad in itself. Its a utility to enable trade between people and that is good thing. It is the one reason that have enabled humanity to rise to a higher civilization and the high level of living standard we have today.

At least somebody gets it
