So is money the evil?

The question is if money is evil or the excessive want of it is? Is it really bad if its treated just like a tool? It can take a person places but will not provide the drive to do it. It will provide the means to satisfaction but it will never provide the true honest desires for happiness. Money never provides happiness to a man who is unsure of what he wants. It will not facilitate code of values if he/she has skipped the learning curve of what to value. Money doesn't buy intelligence for dumb, admiration for coward/cheaters or even true respect for incompetent.
Money in its basic sense will remain an effect and will never be able to replace it for a cause. Money is produced out of virtue but never gives virtue to redeem the vices in us. does it?

Moving on to something lighter! I have been smitten by thai food for a while now and hence it reached my experiment lab of food. So I tried yellow curry straight from the recipe here. Minor adjustments, I did to match my non-vulture taste and hence replaced meat with tofu, potatoes and green bell pepper. Rest is all the same with very little tweaking. It turned out pretty decent and here is a proof of it...image quality is not the best since its taken by a phone camera but nevertheless!

Money is just an instrument to reflect man's needs. I don't think things were any different when there was no money and people relied on the barter system. Man is driven by need to have more.

parth- this drive to forever have more is a problem, i think.

bharat- agreed, but may be it should just be treated as means to get to the cause and not the other way!

Money ain't any evil. I think even the desire for it is okay as long as you play by the rules.

"Money" - similar to everything else, "There is enough for everyone's need but not enough for everyone's greed! And when you have greed, you cannot be happy!
