the root of all evil

Stories of families breaking up because of money are aplenty, and it is most unfortunate that my family has been cast into the latest edition of The Evils Of Money.

But is money really the root of all evil? I refuse to believe so. While its implication cannot be denied, it cannot be used as proof of its guilt, because what money does is tempt, not cause. 

So really, the root of all evil is Man himself - or more specifically, his innate greediness.
