I think it was the Dalai Lama who said that...maybe not.
All my life I have fought the urge to earn money because I saw how it corrupted people.
I saw money holding people captive in enormous houses.
I saw money numbing people to the injustices all around them with the promise of comfort.
I saw money make people do crazy things such as marry the wrong person and ruin family relationships.
But there came a time in my life when I realized money wasn't doing any of these things. It is actually a form of idolatry that consumes people to a point of willing slavery. I know now money is a tool. Not that money is any less dangerous, because it is completely and life threateningly dangerous. However, God uses it to make great things happen in this world. He uses it as a agent of freedom when it was intended as a mechanism of bondage.
I am growing a beard and raising money for a great cause.
Consider showing that something you've been given (and could potentially ruin you) can be given away freely because you are not its slave. Give to the United Way and support my stubble.
