Is money the root of all evil? 11:19 PM

Is money the root of all evil? I believe this has been debated at all times since we were young. I wish I can say that to a certain extend however in reality, we all must agreed that it is indeed the root of all evil. Why do I say so?

Having live for more than 23 years in this earth, I have seem many valuable and insightful scenes. When money is concerned, it will automatically shown a person's true colour. I can recall an true incident that when someone is in trouble because he/she is in debt, the relatives only mind their own business. I was surprised but to accept the harsh realities of the hard truth.

Another incident where my friend borrow some amount of money and until today, he did not bother to return despite the repeated callings. What does this shows? Money can really harm the friendships and kinships. As far as I am concerned, I try to salvage this issue or sometimes avoid the chapter.

One incident took place when I was in my secondary school. It was coming to a year end and these group of friends decided to come out with a celebration in a chalet. One suggested for one to book a place first and then split the cost equally among ourselves. But no one came forward to do the paying job and it came to me, I pushed it off. Why do I do so? Because I believe that if everyone is interested, then everyone should have come together to foot the bill. Am I right to say? So when I asked this question, what a reply I got is that not everyone have the capital to do so. Haiz, so if that is the case then why don't we wait for the amount the come in and get the action done? Well money is an sensitive issue you see but I must say that it still depends on individual. You may not agreed with what I am saying now is because you have not experience it before. In the end, the person who came up with the amount suffered losses because not everyone had paid the amount.Disappointed with all these stories? Of course I am! We just have to move on in life.

In my tertiary education days, I have also seems some person like that. This will easily differentiate between the character of the person. In addition, it seems very interesting because without my knowing, most of my other friends also realised it. So always remember. If you take care of your character and moral values, everything else is being taken care of!

However, this does not happen to me and my family members and I just hope it will not ever happen.
