do you think money is a good thing?

It's not money that's bad, it's what people are willing to do for it.

How more concise than that can you even get?
That's a pretty accurate summing up of more than half the problems on Earth.

Why reinvent the wheel? Why not hear it from the horse's mouth?

"For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." - 1 Timothy 6:10

"For the love of pineapple is the root of all non-piracy: which while some wanted to eat, they have gone away from the Pasta, and pierced themselves through with many spiky pineapple-things."- The Pastafarian Gospel.

All evil might be a bit of a stretch there, however, it doesn't cure suicidal thoughts, abuse (domestic abuse etc,) and such which are caused because of human nature (or the inherent non-piracy of humans due to the Fall from the Garden of Noodles because Bob ate the pineapple, if you're arguing from a Pastafarian viewpoint).

Money, on its own, isn't inherently good or bad, it's a tool. Its impact depends entirely on how it's used
On one hand, money is a powerful force for good, It provides security and stability allowing people to meet their basic needs like food shelter and healthcare, It can also be a catalyst for positive change, funding scientific research, building schools and hospitals and supporting charitable causes, For individuals, money can create opportunities for education, travel, and personal growth
On the other hand, the pursuit or misuse of money can lead to negative consequences. It can be a source of greed and corruption, driving people to exploit others or engage in unethical behavior, The unequal distribution of wealth can create significant social and economic divides, leading to poverty and social unrest, For many, the stress of not having enough money can have a serious impact on their mental and physical health
Ultimately, money reflects the values of the person or society using it, It can be a tool for compassion and progress or a vehicle for selfishness and division

Money is a good slave but a bad master.

In my oponion is money something for peace. You can make Money to work and a Harder Job gives more Money then an easy one. And then every single Market trade Money vs. Food, Drink and otherthings. Without Money people Who are very Body strong get all the Stuff and with Money people get the Stuff who have brainpower. For example We chessplayers.

lechuchel you live in a perfect world that doesn't exist

No. Only Bitcoin is decent.

I do not like money because it makes people poor

Money makes people rich (er).

What makes you poor is the lack of money.
