Does Money Truly Bring Out the Worst in People?

We’ve all heard money is the root of all evil? My question today is, do you believe money brings out the worst in people? For example, I’ve heard stories where, when the last living parent dies, instead of comforting each other, the children of the deceased fight over the parent’s material possessions and what inheritance was left behind. I’ve never understood that.

What is your take on this subject?
