Understanding its potential and using it wisely can help benefit our life and that of society. There is also a lot of waste from miss managing it. I just saw a documentary about the big cruise ship Costa Concordia that capsized in Italy. It cost more money to retrieve the ship than it did to build it. But the retrieving mission was done to help protect the environment from further contamination, plus it was an eye sore to that beautiful spot in the Mediterranean sea . I saw the engineering and retrieval planning behind the whole mission. I was just amazed to see the brilliant minds and the advancement of technology that exist to be able to execute such a rescue mission. All the resources it took to be able to execute such a task. All the great minds and skill it took to find a way to salvage this great big cruise ship. How many other boats are lying abandoned at the bottom of the sea? How many wasteful things we do? Without money we cannot progress. It is structured in such away to advance the fittest to survive and prosper and to let the weaker ones die off. Thankfully that in certain countries there exists certain social care for those who are to week to be able to earn enough money to bring them the basics in schooling, medicine, and shelter. But without money one can't do much to advance in this life. I wish we didn't have to worry so much about money with the same fervor that I wish we didn't have have to kill something for our benefit to survive.

It says the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Not all evil. There is a huge difference! Clearly not all evil is from love of money.
