<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I think people tend to resent or show jealousy toward things they want or desire.<br /><br />Greed can lead to evil, or preside at its core.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I think Ayn Rand was brilliant. Everyone has the capacity to become wealthy, whether or not the try; that is the question. The problem comes when people prefer the shortcut to hard work and sacrifice. Today, instant gratification comes before sacrifice, mostly.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It is the lack of money that is the root of all evil.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Attachment and clinging is the root to suffering. Evil and good are perceptions. A storm can be evil to a child that wants to play outside...same storm is good to a farmer who raises crops. Within each lesson are examples of attachment.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I don't think so at all. In fact i can agree that the lack of money is the problem and root of evil if we can speak so. I often have a situation in which i'm simply without any money and thus i need to take a loan <a target="_blank" href="https://usnetloan.com/installment-loans/">https://usnetloan.com/installment-loans/</a> i think it is a good way to somehow stabilize the situation and to simply have somtehing to eat sometime. So maybe my answer will be partly yes, maybe <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default"> <div class="pta-link-card-picture"> <img src="https://d1ndsj6b8hkqu9.cloudfront.net/link_data_pictures/images/000/755/259/qrc/data"> </div> <div class="pta-link-card-content"> <p class="pta-link-card-title"> <a target="blank" href="https://usnetloan.com/installment-loans/">Installment Loans with No Credit Check | Get up to 5K</a> </p> <p class="pta-link-card-description">Get up to $5,000 by applying online for installment loans with no credit check.
