Money is only a tool

Its not that money is evil but it is the reliance on money that is evil



The word "faith" means trust or confidence



Having faith in money, trusting it to provide our needs is evil because it metaphysically separates us from the emotional and conscious appreciation for each other

The worship of Money is the source of a lot of issues in society today



Money is only a physical reminder of the favours you done for society

Does it make sense that the favours you done for others is worth less and less because the prices for goods seem to increase every year ? 



Example 

People invest in property because they hope to somehow profit from it

but think about it

When people invest in houses even though they don't need it, it pushes the price higher right ?

Who thinks about the poor ?



Already the favours they done for society dwindles by the day through the increase of prices

Now homes become an impossibility to the poor even more so Isn't that similar to riding on a donkey and dangling a carrot in front of it ?

The donkey will go forward yet never reach the carrot

The price that people hope their property will increase to, rides on the backs of those who cannot afford itThis is similar to slavery isn't it ?



The solution to this is two sided of course,

One is to tell the person who is riding other people, what he is doing borders on cruelty and hope that he will stop

Another is to tell the person who is chasing the carrot on a string that its a carrot on a string, stop chasing it

Then teach him how to get carrots by growing carrots himself ( for example )



Instead of devoting time to think about how to serve one another better, people keep on needing to design systems and mechanisms which allow them to be "safely selfish"

This is same as needing to design a special shoe so that people can walk on nails

But why not just avoid walking on nails in the first place ?
