Is it Wrong to Desire Wealth?
Dave Ramsey uses a great example. Money is like a brick. It is amoral. It has no morals. You can take it and build a School with it, or you could put it through a window. The brick does not care. It is a brick. Having a lot of money does not make you good, having a lot of money does not make you evil. He also states that all having money does is amplify who you are. If your a good person, money gives you the ability to do great things. If you are a bad person you can do evil things.\n\n\tThis may sound basic however it is important. There is an idea out there that if you are wealthy especially as a businessman/entrepreneur you are somehow inherently greedy and thus evil. It does not matter if you give a lot to charity or employee hundreds if not thousands of people, some will see you as greedy simply because of your success.
