The love of money is the root of all evil!
Does the love of money account for the development of evil? In this essay I would like to elaborate on why I think the answer is yes. “For the love of money is the root of all evil.” A bible quote from 1 Timothy 6:10, just one example proving the statement that the love of all money is the root of evil to be true.

This was still not enough to satisfy her. Realising that money could not buy her happiness she turned to drugs and alcohol to fill this emptiness. This money seeking industry caused her to become emotionally unstable and to eventually commit suicide.

These merchants are seen as heroes in their communities or townships because of the expensive cars they drive around in. While in actual fact they are sending out the wrong message to the youth about how
