THE LOVE OF MONEY GLOBAL CRIME EPIDEMIC

Money quote by Will Smith

Crimes are committed for the sake of something in every society but it’s a fact that the love of money or the desire to be rich has sharply increased violence and crimes in every part of the world today.

Money is good because it helps us to pay our bills, keeps life moving with roofs over our head, keeps providing us the necessary life amenities, with feeding, clothing and education.

 

Despite the importance of money, the bible says that “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many grieves.”

 

Why then everyone is after money and some even follow them to their death? Why money does have so much power that when you are poor no one respects you unless you are rich?

 

Even though many riches are not acquired in a genuine way but either through illicit activities, crime, or corruption, many still respect them, simply because they are rich and the poor who is never corrupt is despised. 

 

The love of money has sharply increased that many don’t value life any longer. If it’s necessary to kill someone for that money they will do it. People kill others daily to rob them of their money. The craze for money has led to a sharp increase in crime without remedy.

 

Humans are enveloped with harmful products, including drugs, and vaccines because the manufacturers are interested in money but not the precious life of a human. Thus, there are so many fake drugs and vaccines in the system gradually taking their toll on humans.

 

Colossians 2: 8 reads "See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ."

Yet we can acknowledge the fact that the love of money has taken people captives by philosophy because most rich people turn to be very cruel. Their money gives them the power to commit so many crimes people never expect them to do.

Despite how wealthy many people are living, they are restless and their money can't give them the happiness they are looking for. Indeed, money can't buy happiness and love, this one of the reasons many rich people often commit suicide.

Most rich people's lives are far from God and have nothing to do with the bible, yet you will find bibles in their rooms, almost every corner of their luxury mansions because they think that will give them rest and salvation.

The success of a man is not measured by his money, luxury cars, and mansions he owns, even though that's what people view others as successful. The purpose of your life, your mission on earth, and your good deeds make you who you are but not your wealth.

Never wish to become someone because you don't know what means he or she gets the money. What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul at the end? 

People must learn to be content with what they have. That's the only solution to heal this world of hate, jealousy and to reduce crime.
