Wealth
Mammon and the soul — every tradition warns that the man who serves the purse cannot also serve God, and gives almsgiving as the cure.
Judaism
"He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase..."
"He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch."
Christianity
"...Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
"For the love of money is the root of all evil..."
Taoism
