Martin Luther King, Jr said "There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies." But life is a little more complex and evil transcends further than just realizing that L.I.V.E. and E.V.I.L., are reversible.
"The Root of Evil" is a lack of education.
So does that mean that America is Evil? As a country, our politicians don't favor education. When budgets are being made and money is needed from somewhere, eduction usually gets the short end. How many teachers did you hear about being fired and schools being closed down in order to save money. With countries like Asia & India investing heavily in there children's education, only makes you wonder why American politicians don't want America's kids to be smart & intelligent also.
"The Root of Evil" is ignorance without substance....................
A lesser man would say pussy is the root of evil. A rehabilitated man may say that drugs was his root of evil. But ignorance lies in the blaming of anything but yourself. To beat ignorance you must provide education. Then being ignorant is useful because you can then use ignorance sometimes to release your truth. Even an asshole has a valid point if you can get past the fact that they are an asshole.
"The Root of Evil" is a lack of money.
What about the all mighty dollar? I've seen the power of a dollar force a person to take a soon to recover person off of life support before there body could sustain the medication. Just for the words in a Will that would give them the all mighty dollar. With so much evil thats committed in the honor of the dollar, it's amazing that on the back of the dollar it reads "In God We Trust". But What does God have to do with a dollar bill. I trust God already, I'm worried about those that have the power to combine God and wealth in one worthless item and make it meaningful.
"The Root of Evil" is the war between your heart and your mind.
The truth of the matter is that "The Root of Evil" is ourselves. The man in the mirror, so to speak. Our heart, our wants, our lust. Each new generation of children brings in a chance of newer, brighter thinking. I believe that with a proper school education and the knowledge of societal ignorance. Most people would go for something they love rather than the amount of money they will get from it.
