Money is the root cause of all evils !

In the present materialistic world, money is the centre of almost all the activities. Money has become the means and the ends. Everyone needs it to lead a comfortable life.
Once Mahatma Gandhi said that the Earth has sufficient resources to fulfill the essential requirements of all the people but has not the sufficient resources to satisfy the greed of a single individual. When a person acquires money or wealth more than his/her requirements, he/she begins wasting it. He acquires some bad habits like drinking, gambling etc. He/She becomes proud. In pride, he/she may indulge in some bad activities also. He/She may become arrogant and start using unfair means to fulfill his/her desires. This would result in corruption in the society.
The wish to earn more and more money has given rise to corruption in every walk of public life. The gap between the rich and the poor is widening day by day. As a result, different social and economic problems are cropping up.
So, it is felt that many problems can be solved if there is even or justified distribution of wealth in the society.
