Cupiditas

A common saying, and an apt generalization, is "money is the root of all evil." or Radix malorum est cupiditas, a Latin translation of Paul's first epistle to Timothy. Greed (love of money) is the source of all sorts of evil.

Money is a great enabler of freedom. With freedom comes the ability to play give and take with the world. Great responsibility.

As a result, "evil" is enabled.

Still, great "good" is also possible.

In the natural search for freedom, our desires run free, either untamed or disciplined. "Evil" and "good" are both enabled here as well.

Hmm.
