Money is the Root of all Evil?

"If Money Is The Root, I want the Whole Damn Tree"
lol, I couldn't resist.

You can't argue with what was originally quoted. People view money as evil because the human being is naturally greedy, and many people allow money and the pursuit of it to corrupt them. Look at Tony Montana, he became addicted to the cheese, and that fucked with him. It's like a drug, and that's where Jesus was coming from when he said it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than it was for a rich man to get into heaven. It's harder for a rich man to get in than a poor man, because it is more likely that the rich man has been corrupted by money. So money isn't the root of all evil, but man's faults mean that money twists people.
And ignorance is bliss. I worry about the problems in the world cause I know about them. Someone who doesn't know about them will not be troubled about them.
The other type of ignorance is NIK ignorance when you preach about a subject when not knowing more than 1% about it.

^^ When I hear about problems in the world, I dont' worry about them; I just realize that I usually have no control over them, and i'm worry free.

If you show someone something and they don't listen its either because they don't respect you enough to listen to your advice (respect is something you have no right to force), or you didn't provide sufficient reason for them to listen to your advice, or the person that gives advice isn't consistent. They don't practice what they preach. A person that doesn't listen to advice should be neither blamed nor pitied, in my opinion at least. Personally when I encounter such people I just pay them no mind. I remain indifferent.

You left one out. With me, usually when I don't listen to someone, it's because I have something else on my mind, and i'm not open to communication on that level at that time. If somebody wants to talk to me about religion, or whatever, that's cool, but sometimes, I wanna talk about my gamecube, or I want to stick my tongue out at somebody... not everybody is walking around all day looking for lessons at every moment.
