A Notorious Source of Malevolent Acts in the Third out from the Sun
Like a tree that has a root where its life comes from, there is a root for actions of human beings: the root of which aids the existence of such actions in their life. Assuredly, there will be a particular location that the actions of all humans emanated from. If a married woman is asked for the reason of her adulterous act after being caught, she will surely have something to say about the cause of her action. A man who killed another fellow human being will certainly say what prompted him to do such an evil deed if he is caught. There is an adage which says, “No smoke without fire”, that is, smoke does originate from fire. In the same vein, for every action; I mean, for all the actions of human beings in life; there will, at all times, be reasons and/or sources of the actions.
Rampant evils in the world today are backbiting, killing, sedition, conspiracy, imposture among couples and friends, online hoky-poky, to mention a few. Indisputably, there are many causes of all these aforementioned dreadful acts in the world; but I will say categorically that money is the world famous cause or source of evil tendencies in this present world we found ourselves.
If one will agree with me, money is the root of all social misconducts in the world. Though, the Holy Bible says that money is the answer to all things, I have never seen it in the Bible where God said we should/must desperately look for it; and I believe that it is the same thing that will be found in the Holy Quran. This is because these two holy books preach morality and good conducts. But reverse is the case in the whole world today; all because of money. Even the Bible vouches this fact in the book of ‘First Timothy 6:10’ that “the love of money is the root of all evils....” Looking at the situations in the world today, one will realize that the level or place that money occupies in people’s mind is beyond expectation; even some value money more than God, their creator ̶ one will know this through their actions. In this world, a son would not hesitate to kill his father because of money. A wife does lure her husband to where he will be used for money ritual and vice versa. Imagine a sixty-year old man having sex with a five-year old female child; very annoying! Friends betray friends ̶ all because of money. Today, there are political, social, educational and economic disorders. Most of these disorders do emanate from the ardent desire or a quest for money among people, both the leaders and the subjects/followers.
In conclusion, with the points discussed above, it is obvious; and unarguable that money is the most common source of evils that happen in the world. This can be attributed to its influence on our being. If we obliterate or alleviate this influence, evils that happen often will be reduced, and every county will be a better place to be, because the issue of insecurity will not be mentioned as it is at every angle of the world.
