I love money, it's the source of so much good.
But the people I've met who actually love money have been ones that I would prefer to stay away from. They're not concerned with "good". They're concerned with their own comfort and/or power.
"So you think that money is the root of all evil? . . . Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can’t exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil?"
I recognize all people as my equals, money enables trade between equals, value for value. To kill equals for money feels like staining the very idea of money.
True. Money also enables people to be unequal and is a tool for some people to oppress or take advantage of other people.
Money itself is value-neutral, it seems to me. It deserves neither love nor hate.
