Hi,
Thanks for your posts. I agree with you totally.
Money helps to solve all the money problems - for example, paying bills, putting food on the table, keeping the heating going, all those kinds of things.
Money also opens doors.
For example, the things that were not possible before, are now possible. This can be a good thing or a bad thing.
If you have vices, it could make them worse. If you like taking drugs, now you can take all the drugs you want - and that's probably not a good thing! If you like hurting people, with money, you can hurt even more people than before...
However, if you like helping people, you can now help them more than you ever could before. So it works both ways!
I think the key is to remember that the teaching is not that "money is the root of all evil" (as people sometimes mistakenly say), but instead that "love of money is the root of all evil."
Money itself is a kind of tool, which can be used for either good or bad!
One day, we should talk about the psychology of money... It's a big and very important topic!
Best wishes,
Dien
