“Money is not the root of all evil, but the desire for money is the root of all evil.”
Bakit ba kadalasan ay nauugnay ang pera sa kasamaan?
Ang madalas nga sabihin ng iba ay money is the root of all evil.
Kaya nga minsan ay hindi na maganda ang tingin nila sa mga mayayaman.
Mayabang…
Matapobre…
Gahaman…
Salbahe…
Manloloko…
Sinungaling…
Pero hindi porke’t mayaman ay masama na ang ugali.
Marami sa kanila ay talagang nagpayaman upang makatulong sa kapwa.
Most of them wanted to be game changers… to make the world a better place.
Kamukha nalang ni Bill Gates. Alam mo ba na he is the wealthiest man in the world since 1995.
He is worth more than 100 billion dollars.
Pero kahit na napakayaman niya, napakabuti din niyang tao. Together with his wife, they founded the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation with the primary function of fighting global poverty.
Nakapamahagi na sila ng almost $50 billion para sa mga mahihirap sa buong mundo.
Take note ha. Buong mundo.
He did not just think of his community, his city or his country.
Inisip na niya lahat na ng tao worldwide.
Nag-isip siya ng bigger than himself at ginamit niya ang kanyang pera sa kabutihan.
Marami pa ang tulad ni Bill Gates na super yaman pero super bait din, I would like to call them Spiritual Millionaires (or Billionaires).
Despite all their wealth, they remained attuned to their spirituality. It is possible that even though you are rich, you can also be kind, generous and loving.
You use your money for good and because of your wealth, many have lived better lives.
Money is not evil in itself. You can use it to channel the good in people.
But money becomes bad if you also use it for bad.
“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, in their eagerness to get rich, have wandered away from the faith and caused themselves a lot of pain.” 1 Timothy 6:10
Pwedeng pwede kang yumaman at panatilihin ang iyong ginintuang puso.
“Piliin mong maging mayaman, hindi lamang sa pera, kundi pati rin sa puso”
