  • Is money evil?

    Conversations with the Muse In this discussion with the Muse, I pondered the question of whether money is “evil.” It came from a discussion I had with an old friend recently, where my friend mentioned the idea that, essentially, money is the root of all evil, that money is to blame for the situation developing […]
