Money is not the root of all evil because there is no such thing as evil, (or money for that matter, but let’s not be picayune). Evil is just a word used by eyes-closed children to describe something they don’t see or understand or know through direct observation. If anything could actually be called evil, it would be the eyes-closed state that fosters the appearance of, among other things, evil. If we want to pretend that such a thing as evil exists, and we want to blame it on something, then we must point back at ourselves and our own self-inflicted ignorance. We have eyes, we just don’t open them. Being eyes-closed means we don’t see the world as it is but as we imagine it to be. It’s not that a layer of obfuscation has been spread over the world, but that the protective childhood layer was never removed.
