Essay About Money " Money Is The Root Of Evil "

This essay will be quite long & a little

bit boring but its TRUE!!

read it patiently...

you will agree with it~

Realistically speaking, money is an important thing in

everybody's life. We need money for almost everything

that we want. In short, we cannot live without money!!

Many of us try to get by with whatever money we have but

all of us would like to have more.

We know that $$ can bring us many luxuries and

pleasures. We imagine that people will look up to us

only if we have money. Money can buy almost anything so

much so we may think it can even buy happiness.

That is where we make the blunder and allow money

to rule our lives. That is when $$ becomes the root of

many evils~

Thus we read daily about people fighting to get into

power. Those in power then make use of their position

to line their pockets. Corruption is rife, funds are embezzled

and well-known figures feature in scandals that 'rock'

society. In this quest for $$, many evils are committed.

Some leak out into public view, a lot are kept behind closed doors.

A successful man accumulate his wealth "for the sake of

his children." When he dies, his children fight for the wealth.

The dream of one man is shattered by the very objects of

his dream. $$ control their lives.

For the sake of more $$, a person with enough greed can

do almost anything to get it. Banks and goldsmith shops

are held up at gun-point. Burglars break into houses.

Young thugs extort from innocent victims. Girls

sell themselves. Policemen take bribes. Parents gamble

their families into poverty. Even the honest ones are

not spared the chains thrown around them by $$.

From young, children are asked to work hard so that

they can do will in the studies. What is the purpose behind

the effort to do well? $$ again rear its ugly head. By doing well

in his studies, a person stands a better chance of getting a

'better paying' job. 'Better paying' means more $$. More

$$ means more happiness, or so they mistakenly assume.

Despite all the wealth a person has, happiness will elude him

if he puts happiness on his wealth. Howard Hughes died rich

but forlorn. Big tycoons hire bodyguards to protect themselves.

The not-so-rich ones work themselves to the point where

suddenly they find that they are too old or sick to enjoy

their wealth, if they have any. The average man works for $$.

$$ has imprisoned them.

What else can be said about $$?? Well, we can let it work for

us so that we do not become obsessed and enslaved by it,

or we can work for it so that we become its slave and reap

all its evil that it can give.
