ORIGINAL: Aneirin Money as they say, is the root of all evil, but without it we die, but money is one thing that can be remade, but why do we need money, can we not just trade instead ? If one has something in surplus, then trade it for something you need. Trade work hours for something you need, life can exist without the exchanging of worthless bits of paper, which amount to promisory notes, nothing more and as we know, promises can and will be broken. Trade cannot be broken. This Biblical misquote is usally credited to Jesus. In fact it is Paulian, as is most of the New Testament. The passage itself is in Timothy 1, chapter 6, verse 10: "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many arrows."
