Money is the root of evil?

No and Never!

First of all, the first person to posit this awkward lie is the evil one, and all who believed without questioning this deceptive position are the gullible ones. How on earth can money be the root of evil, when it is the same money that makes the world a good place? The essence of money is to make exchange and payment easier, a means to an end; but not an end in itself.

After God is money, the former motivates man to do good, while the latter motivates man to work hard. Without these two essential aspects of life, it’s needless being alive. That brings to mind the ultimate question: why are we here? Are we here to worship God, or are we here to make money? The former is invisible while the latter is visible, and it’s difficult to believe in what you don’t see over what you can clearly see. Meanwhile, God is acclaimed to have made all things; but between you and I, man made money. Likewise, God made man in his own image; then man made money in his own image. You can clearly see the faces on the currencies of the world, they are faces of people and not of the devil and his fallen angels.

Talk of the devil, and you will see no connection between her and money. All there’re to see are powers. As above, so below; as within, so without. You either have it or don’t have it, money is power; and power rules the world. You are in the world, and not the underworld; and money is everything here. I am talking reality which is in existence, because the ideal is speechless and only exists in your mind. Although, the mind has the power to transform the ideal to real; that explains how people employ their ideas in making money. This is not a matter of believing, it is a matter of working, for potentials are forever latent if you don’t put them to use; it is the actions involved that make potentials potent.

Money is everything for everyone. Yes, it may not give life, but it can take life. Also, to have life is not the same with living life; if you don’t understand the juxtaposition, try posing for a picture without a camera. Without money, life is meaningless and filled with endless streaks of suffering; that explains why the poor adores the rich because of the money they expect to get in return. Don’t let anybody fool you, even the very pastors preaching to you, still need your money to support their ministries. Baptism is free, but you must buy bible. No mosque without money, Imams can’t imagine that. Even masquerades need money to buy masks; and when you go before the Oracle, if you don’t go with ritual sacrifices you bought with your money, then you’re the sacrifice. Alcohol is never for free; spirits need strong spirits not sprites; and sprites are not water. Meanwhile, bottled-water is not for free.

Money makes the world go round; and if the round-table discussion is not about money, then they’re talking about women, drinking wine and making merry; which in itself revolves around the same money. This gospel of mine is not for free, I am not St. John; I write for fame and fortune. The very data you are using to read this is equally not for free, even if you’re on Wi-Fi; somebody paid for it. Never expect to get something out of nothing. Everybody like money, but not everybody have money; even if you steal it, it’s still part of the hustle. If they think it’s easy, let them have it without working hard for it; nothing is easy.

Moreover, let us make the world a better place is with money not love. Bill Gates don’t run charities with love, but with money. Love can’t pay your bills, money does; and if you think you can run for President without money; research Bill Clinton. The essence of the charity foundations is money, it is the rich helping the poor. Two poor people can’t help themselves, they can only punish themselves. You’re a nobody without money, because you can’t help anybody when you can’t help yourself. There’s no joy in fame without money, that’s not how the game is played; so don’t play yourself and blame someone else. Before you think of trading blames, blame yourself, my own can never be your own and your own can never be my own; that’s the essence of ownership.

It is what it is, not what ought to be. Dreams can never be reality, if you don’t wake up from sleep and realize that you have to turn your dreams into reality. Therefore, stop sleeping and start working; if you want it, you work for it. If you don’t have it, you beg or steal it; crimes make the criminal, but not every criminal gets caught. Yet, better borrow than steal, the former is normal while the latter is shameful; poverty is historical, you’re not the only one; begging is allowed. The museums of this world are filled with artifacts stolen from other nations; the great libraries are filled with knowledge stolen from other nations; the class struggle is between those that have and those that don’t. The world is full of Known and unknown crimes for ages, only those caught are labeled criminals. The great civilization emerged from the suffering of others; the world is wicked; nobody cares if you are a nobody. In a like manner, nobody cares how you made your money, just have it. It’s equally alright to fake it till you make it; for the appearance of what it is, is what it is, just be alright. But, if you get caught doing it wrong, the regret is yours alone, never trade blames.

Hitherto, it is survival of the fittest. The strong over the weak, the master above the slaves, the rich dominating the poor. Choices and Consequences, everyone can be bribed except Karma. Justice can be denied, mercy can be merciless; the world is not a bed of roses, and even roses are surrounded with thorns. The Governments and places of worship are filled with hypocrites, who are merely concerned with what they can benefit; then serve the remnants to the masses. Contemporary, even the non-profit organizations seek to make profit, greed is the order of the day and greetings matter no more, everybody wants to be great at all cost. Now, people don’t care if it costs people’s lives; but Karma never forget nor forgive!

Dearly Beloved, if you don’t have money, try your possible best to have it. Without money, you can neither help yourself nor your loved ones. If you don’t have money, your voice is voiceless, you can’t have the justice you seek nor the mercy you plead, your children can’t attend the best schools nor have the best health care; not even a standard means of living. Heaven and Hell is here, what happens in the Afterlife remains unknown, and the fear of the unknown is the greatest fear. We are here now, if you don’t have money it’s hell, if you have money it’s heaven. They may try to fool you, but they will not succeed, unless you fool yourself. Money is never the root of evil; poverty is the root of evil. Make it or break it; pray to your maker that you don’t be broke for life.

This is true truth!
