Roots

I have just been thinking that money isn't the root of all evil, I think that awareness of self is.

yeah, awareness of self

I mean, you could have someone who has millions of dollars and decides to give it all away and live on the street. It isn't the money that was the problem, the problem is that we think only about ourselves 99% of the time. If we only thought about others more than ourselves, money wouldn't be a problem. It wouldn't be evil; it could do great good.
