The sting of insult inverted. Everything you know is wrong — that is a good starting point to allow for the beginning of wisdom, which is Fear of G-d.
G-d made this world and all in it for a reason! To ignore the proper use of all things is a deep callousness to the G-dly.
Money is mentioned early on in the Bible. There is a reason for that. Of all things it is a coin — a half shekel — that G-d demands that his Chosen Ones be counted. The Israelites, fleeing the strictures and hedonism of Egypt are enumerated by means of a half-shekel — that is money. Each tribe, big or small, wealthy or not so, is required to come up with the same amount of offering to outfit the Camp’s Holy Tent of Meeting.
Money is really quite a powerful thing, to be so honored in use.
Those who deny that ‘property’ and ‘money’ are important to safeguard and properly use are in denial of a fundamental G-dly requirement of our lives in this World.
Are there moral or mental health risks associated with money?
