Thank you for sharing your opinion,many people knows this truth since long long ago in China,this really a fact no matter in which epoch,no matter anywhere.but we know :Money can buy a house, but not a home;Money can buy a bed,but not sleep;Money can buy a clock,but not time;Moeny can buy a position,but not respect;Money can buy companions, but not friends;Money can buy sex, but not love;Monet can buy insurance, but not safety.....anyway,Money may not be the root of all evil,But it often brings us anguish and regrets....what we should believe? i think,money its not everything,but without money you can do nothing~~~~we should learn how to use money and how to treat  money...

I personally wonder how long that specific proverb is. I also wonder if the world when it was created was more or less dependent on money in comparison to today's world. I partially believe that it might be in the human nature to wish to think that times were less centred on money in the past. However, if that quote was made sufficiently far enough in the past, then perhaps it is just an illusion of preferred perception.

I certainly think that the world does revolve around money. I am not saying that it should be this way, but it is obvious that someone without any money would be living a far less luxurious life than that of someone who is wealthy. I think some very liberal people could fight back demanding that life is only what you make it, and whatnot. I would suggest they donate their house and cars and computers in order to go off and show us all by example.
