Is money the cause of everything?

We're often told that we cannot have too much of anything. I think that having too much of money also would cause deprivation of humanity, loneliness, wealth obsession, materialistic living and even corruption. Our Government today is behind swiss bank accounts, trying to dig up hidden gold from temples, real estate based murders, politicians secretly eating up the country reserves, prostitution, horse racing, casinos, bribing, television and box office ratings, trading, schooling, eating, sleeping, living ... literally EVERYTHING has money involved in it. Is this how our civilisation has evolved or did we make it happen this way? Why is it that people fixed a consideration for everything in terms of a paper note or a metal coin? Why is money so crucial to us, sometimes even more than human life?

If not for money it would be barter trade and that would be cumbersome. Generally wealth and pleasures are strongly linked and money translates to satisfaction. Main cause of problems is greed and not money.

Well..it's only MONEY that can fetch you medical treatment if you fall sick. Money cannot be blamed against what a man is ought to be responsible for. Humanity and righteousness shouldn't be compromised no matter what. And the man in question is to be blamed...not money.

Greed and misery would have existed even without money.

Money money money... is necessary evil.. more the better... it may not give you happiness but it can keep you away from misery and daily struggles in life...😊

I find it wrong for people satisfied with their life and status labeling the ambitious as greedy.Just as offensive as the ambitious labeling the content as lazy and jealous.

All the negative things you've mentioned are a result of human greed and need,not money.

In other words-i highly disagree with the statement that money creates misery.

everything has its own pros and cons
