Money is evil??

Recently the teacher gave us a topic in conversation class. The topic is that “money is evil” or “human is evil”, in the meanwhile, we should take this subject to debate. I think they are some conflict between both, or even could evil bring us happiness? In my opinion, human is greedy. It’s not money that makes us greedy because we are greedy so that we want money.

Many of us who will dream of having thousands and thousands dollars to spend on anything we desire. We would buy lottery tickets, spend hours building a business or playing the stock market. We're all sure when we have plenty of money, we will be happy than before. But will we? Our answer may be no. Having some money does have a little impact on our level of happiness, but while having a lot of money maybe do not. It's because we are never satisfied. When we focus on money, we will tend to forget about other incentives. Therefore, money is the main cause of selfishness and stress in human relationships.

We always think if we just had little more money, we'd be happier. But when we get there, in fact, we're really not. The truth proves that money couldn’t take us happy. It is right about money is evil, but it all flows from human’s greedy. However, there are most human in the world work hard because they believe the social value is just what they are doing and we need competition to encourage us to improve society. In short, money is only the tool which human use it to do something in my mind.

I don't think money is evil. If it is so, why do people want it? Money itself is a good thing to have. It is people who try to get it in a bad way.
