   Yes, rich is often mistaken for money. Rich is actually a lot more than that and this video brings that out loud and clear.

   Hi Dining Room Tables,

   You’re right.

   When people say, “this bread is rich in vitamins”, they don’t mean that you can find some notes or coins in it, do they?

   Quite often as children, we’ve had the message pounded into us that money is the root of all evil. It’s really not. Look at how much good Warren Buffett, and Bill Gates have done with their charitable foundations. Their’s nothing wrong with getting rich. It’s a question of what you do with the money afterwards, that makes it evil or good.

   Yup with more money you can do more good to benefit more people.

   Correct folks. Money is like a knife. You can use it to cut some vegetables or to kill people.

   It’s the user that is evil. Not the money.

   Also you have to think about the motive behind obtaining the money. You can work hard for your money and it can be honest, but your motives for obtaining that money can be the evil part.
