Is money the root of evil?

I don't think money is the root of evil.In my opnion,it is people's endless desire for money that is truly evil.of course with money we can buy a lot of things that we need or we like.but if one person has an endless desire for money and goods,he will do whatever to get the money and thus,even sacrifice other people's benefits,happiness or lives.
so,generally,it is not a bad thing that we like money,but one should not get too greedy.money itself is nothing but a token of value.

古语说：“金钱是罪恶之源。”在经济飞速发展的今天，或者说是物欲横流的今天，过去数十年被禁锢得太久的人们，对金钱有所追求也是无可非议的，但许多事实告诫人们，对金钱的追求一定要在正当、合法的范围内，如果企图通过非法途径和手段来敛取不义之财，必将受到应有的惩处。

1. 人格的可贵, 是在功名富贵之外. 物质的可爱, 是在赠者情义深长.

2. 盖世的功名, 无非大梦一场. 惊人的富贵, 难逃无常二字.

3. 人若好善, 福虽未至, 祸已远矣. 人不好善, 祸虽未至, 福已远矣.

4. 不能宽恕他人, 便无法获得别人的宽恕. 不能赞美他人, 便无法获得别人的赞美.

5. 大丈夫不为一已之身谋, 当为天下苍生忧. 小乘人只为一己之身计, 不为世间众生想.

6. 少看少听眼目明, 少言少论耳根净. 少思少虑绝缘虑, 少执少求心太平.

7. 公平即是人格的评定
