Money is the Root of all Evil

Money is the root of all evil. That saying has a lot of meaning behind it. The definition of this trite saying to me is that money is the reason this world is so angry. To an extent, I can agree. I agree because people like Donald Trump come along and rub it in our face. They gloat about how much money they have, what they can afford and whatnot. But I disagree in a way. I disagree because we all need money to survive and thrive. To be able to get by. But the people that show off how much money they have are the ones that prove part of the point that money is the root of all evil. Another reason as to why money is the root of all evil is that people rob stores, banks, and even other people just for money. If it weren't for the money, people wouldn't rob others. If it weren't for money, we wouldn't define people by their social class. The way that people live separates everyone. You'll rarely ever see an upper-class high school kid hanging out with a lower-class, home-schooled kid who works two jobs just to help pay for his/her parent's bills. If money were non-existent though, a lot of things that we need in this world would not be existent. What currency would we have? What would we use to pay for things? That's why money is the root of all evil.
