No, ‘the love of money is the root of all evil’...not the money itself. Do you own the money, or does the money motivate you?

I don’t agree with that either, although love of money sure leads to some evil (and quite a bit of good as well).
Did “love of money” lead Hitler to murder 6 million Jews? Likewise, the various Communist mass executions were not motivated by “love of money”. If you want to find the “root of all evil”, you need to look elsewhere. (For another more minor example, consider a faithful husband or wife murdered because someone else coveted the partner. No money involved...but flawed human nature certainly was. It has happened many times.)
I meant you. Thanks.
