Money..Good or Bad???

In my opinion, money in and of itself is neither good or bad, it is merely a tool. The good or bad part lies in how you use your wealth. If you use it solely to satisfy your needs and the needs of those around you. If the goal of making money is to make more money at the expense of your employees and the people you do business with, then it is bad.

We live in a nation of tremendous wealth and opportunity. At the turn of the century, the industrial revolution gave birth to the true wealthy of this nation. Names like Rockefeller, Carnegie, Rothschild, Morgan, Ford, Edison, Firestone, and Westinghouse are just a few. Most are true self made people, some of them came from money so they had a head start.

It is my opinion that people who come from little or nothing and make it big, tend to be a bit more generous with their wealth than those who are born with it.

The internet revolution has given birth to some very wealthy people, and for the most part very generous people. Washington is a town of old money. Most of our political leaders were wealthy at birth. I believe that it is the fact that these people have never known want, that causes them to feel little empathy for those who have known nothing but need.

So, is your money good or bad??? Count the number of people that your money helps every day, and you will have your answer.
