Is Wealth good or Evil

"Where wealth and freedom reign contentment fails, And honour sinks where commerce long prevails."
~Oliver Goldsmith
"The loss of wealth is loss of dirt, As sages in all times assert; The happy man s without a shirt."
~John Haywood
"All this [wealth] excludes but one evil,poverty."
~Samuel Johnson
"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God"
~Mark 10:25)
"Money isn't the most important thing in life, but it's reasonably close to oxygen on the 'gotta have it' scale."
~Zig Ziglar
"It is neither wealth nor splendor; but tranquility and occupation which give you happiness."
~Thomas Jefferson
Put not your trust in money, but put your money in trust.
~Oliver Wendel Holmes

In My Opinion:
Often it is felt that to desire wealth is to reflect the same poisonous characteristic as greed. Others have expressed quite the contrary in feeling wealth is a part of the abundance gift of life. Surely the acquiring and use of wealth and it's impact on individuals as well as mankind as a whole, is dependant on the nature of recipient. The character of a person is the determinant factor of whether he/she will do good or evil. Wealth in itself is simply a means to an end.
As this is a theory, you are welcome to participate in putting it to the test. Beginning with acquiring wealth, as part of the experiment you are free to contribute a donations. The first finding will be in how many persons will freely give and the second part will be how will it be used.

If you find this humorous, LOL for the joke!
If you take it seriously, give donation buttom a poke. :-)
