Money, like any other form of energy exchange is not inherantly ”bad” in and of itself. The instinct for material security and comfort is a basic ”human” instinct. It’s only when misdirected instincts drive us blindly to a place where we’re clammoring for more than we need that the instincts become our enemy. 

I’m all for abundance and prosperity. But when the desire for material comforts overrides our desire to do good in the world, causing us to step on the toes of our fellows and greedily exploit them or ourselves that money becomes a end in itself, rather than a means to an end. That’s when people become greedy and selfish, which can only lead to unhappiness and disappointment.

Go forth and prosper. But, as in all things, easy does it.
