So you think that money is the root of all evil. Have you ever asked what is the root of all money? The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it. Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil. There is only one cure for the evils which newly acquired freedom produces, and that cure is freedom. To see and listen to the wicked is already the beginning of wickedness. Virtuous ten years - still not enough; evil one day - too much already. When the devil says his paternosters he wants to cheat you. Let gratitude be the pillow upon which you kneel to say your nightly prayer. And let faith be the bridge you build to overcome evil and welcome good.
