Money is the root of evil.
It is illogical to think that money can own its owner. Mankind are the
one who should own it right? However this ‘illogical fact’ is what happening
nowadays. Man create money to lead a convenient and advanced life. Yes, we
can’t deny the fact that it is so convenient to carry only notes and coins in
our pocket instead of shoving humongous rocks in our pockets. It’s just how
things works in this world, there are always the dark sides of things that we use to claim to be beneficial. Money however,
might be the root of evil.
Desires and the love of this world are the two elements that exist in
human nature. No matter how noble or religious the people are there’s always
this part of him that wanted the luxury of this life. This in fact, can be a
motivation if these desires are managed well but if it is not being handled
well, it can lead to greed. Greed leads to oppression. People don’t care about
justice anymore because all they think about is themselves. This explains why
we can see our leaders involved in corruptions, our scholars lost their
sincerity and our nature are destroyed by urbanisation. All of these are happening right nowand it is due to the
fact that people take money as their idols of the heart.
Apart from greed, money can make people turn against each other.The rich
oppress the poor and the poor hate the rich. The rich are trying to make more
money by oppressing the poor and the poor are fighting back for their rights.In
this case, money spreads hatred among the people. Everyone is fighting to
obtain it without having a care about humanity.There are a lot of examples to
be illustrated in this situation but the well-known one is the ugly thing that
United States of America did to Iraq in the year 2003. This is the proof why
money is the reasons for those vile occurrence out there.
If you are that kind of person who watches drama all the time you will
notice that most of the antagonist in those dramas went nuts in the end and
usually it is because they too tired chasing the wealth. We must be wondering
how on earth that digging after money manage to effect our mental health right?
Well chasing after money excessively may leads a person to be stressed out.If
this continues it may leads to depression and if this goes on that person might
be a complete wayward or commit suicide.
In a nutshell, money is a concrete matter that we create to ease us.We
do not create it to worship it or to die for it. Life is not about money. Life
is about living and help the others.As what being highlighted in Islam, the
wealthy should help the poor and the poor should be grateful towards the
wealthy.This will create a balance cycle and will help to control the desires
of owning money. We should own the money, money should not own us and this is a
fact that people need to take into their hearts to create a better world once
again.
