Northern Sage Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Money is just a means of trading. Would the world be different if we used clams as currency? Aside from them becoming basically extinct, I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simping For Hina Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 So Strikey, are you saying that money has too many negs to do anything positive? Should we take it away permanently or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catterjune Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Nothing evil about money. It's through what means you got it and what you do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrise Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Strikeman, you're only seeing the negative views on money based on an outdated belief. The usage of money is dependent on the morality, ideals and goals, etc. of the person using the money. I'm trying to get a job. Why? So I can get enough money for me to go to college, so I can and have a decent place to stay, as well as to quench and sate my thirst and hunger. What am I doing going to college? So I can help people, help find cures for disease, etc. In this regard, continue to tell me that money is bad. Now, look at the poor. Now, how did they become poor? That is, for a fact, mostly their problem. Some make poor choices with their money. Where does that lead them? Poor. Some of them will just waste their money away for fun, some to drink, some to satisfy their usage of drugs. Now, in this regard, who is at fault for the poor? Money is just means to an end. The end being positive or negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Crouton Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Money is great. Money is power. Money is survival.

Nathanael D. Striker Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 For those who haven't got it yet, I'm trying to play the devil's advocate. I do agree that we decide money's role. While the poor has caused some of their misfortune, those with money are responsible to help them. Money can be good, but it relies a good person. ... I fail at being a devil's advocate.

CMRenji Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Money is not really evil. Money is a placeholder for goods and services. We as humans desire these things, sometimes to an extent to get by, and sometimes to an extent where we're being greedy. Saying money is evil is like saying possessions are evil. Truly, it's just that some individuals hold money and possessions in a very high regard. It's not the money, it's the person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brushfire Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 [quote name='Hatcher' timestamp='1342029553' post='5974322'] Nothing evil about money. It's through what means you got it and what you do with it. [/quote] You stole my post. But yeah, basically what he said. Money can't be inherently "evil". Mainly because "evil" is a human concept and an inanimate object such as money can't be regarded as the fault of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
