If money is the source of evil, then why do we seek it?

its easy. In a world we're living in, money plays an important part in survival. but we must remember, moderation is KEY to avoid evil. we must not be obsessed with getting so much money, instead, just get them enough in order to live.

money plays an important part in our daily live, what makes it evil is when people will do just about everything to get to them, some used exessive forced inj getting it, by dirty way and some will even kills for it

the source of evil is Ignorance laaaaaa...above anything else

and why do we this urge of seeking money? because we buy something that we don't need at all..look at society nowadays,there are working because they can pay bills and buy more stuffs,if they have less to pay or pay for something that only you need,would they be working then.

I suggest you to watch a documentary,11th Hour narrated by Leonardo Di Caprio,explaining the wrong kind of economical growth that we have today.It also shows about the excessive consumerism as an form of escapism since we are detached ourselves from mother nature,and also by the time a child reaches age of 20,he can identify more of corporate logo (Sony,HP,Microsoft etc) than he identify a plant or animal that is native to his home..

Mahatma Gandhi said once,There everything in this world for everyone's need,not for everyone's greed.

P.S : I think I go a bit off topic thr..

You seek money, because you feel insecure. Because you feel money can save you. Because you think, without money, you will not survive. You will die. Or half-die.

The evil is insecurities.

If suddenly undergarments become the mechanism of trade, and everyone seek undergarments as paychecks... will briefs, boxer and panties suddenly be evil?

Sorry for that crazy analogy.

survival of fittest..

..money not only hides insecurities but also brings status,popularity etc etc..

money is not everything,but without it you are nothing..

hmm your statement reminded me of the dialogue between Isobel Bigelow and her father Mr Bigelow ( of course lah kan) in Betwitched :

If u used magic all the time to get what u wanted then, it is just the same like the rich men dad , they used to have women sleep with them but did not know for real whether  those ladies were in love with them ..."

and Michael Caine ( the father of Kidman in Bewitched)  replied was:

U see..well that's not a problem is not  it? women do sleep with them u see...

but the essence of it : money is not everything  you'll get what you want but the actual contentment : only Allah knows

how about you seeing a person close or ur relative  to you actually having millions in the account but ...childless???

well...........ALLAH is fair ...so u know....this matter is rather tricky

Evil was already there before money was ever invented, dahlings.

IMO the source of evil is the devil itself....
