Dollars, euros, rubles, yens, tugriks, crowns, marks - all this is money. And at all times great importance was attached to them. Coins were elevated to the rank of deity or reduced to the definition of satanic minions.
Good and evil are very conventional concepts. As a philosopher would say, the concepts are limiting, categorical and at the same time relative. From the point of view of money, it is also difficult to accurately define and understand whether it is good or evil.
As the famous philosopher Francis Bacon once said: "Money is a wonderful servant, but a disgusting master." Perhaps by this he wanted to show how strongly a person can become dependent on money and at the same time how skillfully one can dispose of this equivalent of power. One can only speculate a little about the good or evil nature of money, but never come to an unambiguous undeniable conclusion.
Good in money
Many people, thinking about whether they had a lot of money, saw themselves as patrons, benefactors, generous distributors and donors of untold wealth. Real life examples show that this is not always the case. Unexpected wealth does not lead to generosity, but there are exceptions.
It is these exceptions that make money a way to ennoble the world. After all, the entire social structure of a person, his being, largely depends on the financial component. We need money for treatment, for settling in life, we need money. A hard-hitting coin is required to help the disadvantaged, to feed the hungry, to heal the sick. And a person who has the means can organize all this. He is capable of actually making the world a much better place. But only if he doesn't go over to the dark side.
Evil in money or the dark side
Often, a lot of money makes a person seek pleasure. Our human physiology is organized in such a way that pleasures are of great importance for well-being, a sense of satisfaction with life, just for a normal existence. Being with money, a person can afford a lot. From completely legal methods to those that go beyond the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and even just human morality.
This path leads to exhaustion both physically and mentally. Gradually, a person burns out, spending money on himself. He does not create anything, but only uses what others are doing. We are not talking about any charity, patronage or just good deeds. Just an animal existence for the sake of new pleasures. And sooner or later the "Master" takes possession of his "Slave". The money is running out and … nothing good.
It turns out that with the help of money you can do both good and evil. Hence the logical conclusion that the hard-earned coin itself is neither good nor bad. The human attitude to the financial issue is important. It depends on the individual where and what the funds will be spent on. This means that money is not bad and not good in itself. They are the means by which you can make the world better or worse.
