Some say that money is the root of all evil.

Some say that's a misquote from the Bible, which says that the love of money is the root of evil. Desire.

Yet, not all who desire commit evil to fulfill it. The way in which one chooses to relate to that desire makes a difference.

But how we relate to desire is a product of conditioning throughout the years by family, friends, education, media and the society at large. What we choose to absorb from all these things, and what we unwittingly absorb without intending to. Perhaps we have a disposition, from birth or before, that compels us to adopt certain values and beliefs over others.

Perhaps the eagerness to label a root of evil, a public enemy, a terrorist, stems from the unwillingness to accept that the potential for evil is present in all and beyond control.
