Money is NOT the root of all evil. Love is.

I refer to the statement I came across recently and decided to give my comments about it. Many people claim that money actually is the root of all evil, because money causes everything to start, such as economic crisis, financial difficulties, and poverty. I totally agree to these few results that were caused by money. But how about love? Without love, there would be no such thing as money, as no one would want to earn the money to give it or keep it for their loved ones as there would then be no meaning to life, nothing to work hard for. People would just keep earning money to survive but with no aim nor objective at all. With love, would people then try to work hard to either impress their fiance, support their family so that they would not starve. Usually, burglars rob banks as they need the money to either support their family or to help their friends that are in urgent need of money, and thats when love starts this evil. There would then be an objective to earn the money. I sort of agreed that love was one of the bigger and main reasons why money had started, though this applies to most people, not all. Those people whom prefer loneliness will not feel that love caused all evil, but in fact money is.

  1. as much as i dont want to disagree with you. I dont believe love is the root of all evil.Lets say we totally destroy the monetary system,(although primitive,the trading meathod would work as a substitute) there wouldn't be any problems anymore.There would not even be money to rob.
    moreover, most robberies are caused by the greed of the person than the urge to support their family.
    I strongly believe that without love, humans would be little more than robots.
