Once that awareness dawns upon a person, it is life-changing. I cannot imagine what it would be like having it instilled from one's first teaching.

One of the most potent parts of agreed-upon scripture is the saying, "The Love of money is the root of all evil." Jesus only got upset a few times, according to the records, and the most well-known of those is when he tossed those tables in the Temple. [[I've always puzzled about the story of the damned fig tree, though, that one has escaped my understanding so far!) He also called out hypocrites, but aimed that at the religious leaders who knew better but didn't teach the freedom which is the Maker's greatest gifting after life itself. They seemingly only taught that which would make people dependent upon them, so their worldly comfort and wealth and power would continue and grow.
