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.

Money doesn’t bring out the worst in people, it reveals what they truly are.

actually I believe the Biblical quote is: The love of money is the root of all evil.

This is probably right.
I know some very wealthy people who are charitable, generous, hard-working, and have good values. At the same time, I know some poor people who can’t hold down a job and would steal the change out of their kid’s piggy bank for cigarettes. And plenty of the inverse of both.
Lots of POS rich and poor. As someone said in the theme park thread the other day, there is nothing area of our society left untouched by trash.

Money, power, any kind of success that other people are envious of tends to do this.
The people who have it can become assholes or worse assholes than before either because they have it and lord it over people or who do it to insulate themselves by people coming to them for handouts.

This.
There's an old adage for this that goes along the lines of "good fortune doesn't change a man, it merely unmasks him."

The actual quote is that the *love* of money is the root of all evil - not money itself.

this - especially when a loved one passes, and they all jockey for whatever is in the will for them

Money has the potential to trigger a myriad of emotions.
In the context of someone dying and people fighting over their money - - it is guilt. When we lose someone, we always challenge ourselves that we did not do enough when they were alive to show them our love. We tell ourselves we did and that as a physical manifestation of this - - our loved one would have wanted me to have "X". Guilt, even moreso than anger or jealously, can take people to very dark places and be the driving forces behind very bad decisions.

Depends on the person. If they're faith centered in the lord with a charitable heart of Thanksgiving I don't see how money would affect them for the worse. Unfortunately there's plenty people who are out to let their money corrupt themselves and others.

The most misquoted platitude of all time.
"The love of money is the root of all evil." is true enough.
