No it is not. Lack of desire to pursuit wealth is an indication of submission. It’s a symptom that distinguishes a follower from a leader, an employee from a boss.
The idea that the pursuit of wealth is anything other than virtuous is the whisper of the devil. The devil, from the very beginning of the Bible, has been portrayed to be one possessing of knowledge far greater than that of man but only less than that of God. And he is very much the instrument of God much like a prosecutor is a instrument of justice.
You can convince yourself that money is bad or chasing wealth is pointless. The fact remains, nevertheless,that all throughout history, those without it have always been taken advantage of in one way or another.
For the world as we know it today to work, there has to be a competition. And that competition boils down to good vs. bad. Rich vs. poor. The rich make the rules that the poor abides by.
It is up to you to decide on which side you will be on.
Sometimes you have to be bad in order to have a chance to be good. But religion was introduced into the world to keep those of a lukewarm disposition on the side of those that get taken advantage of.
Religion plays an almighty role in keeping several hundred millions of people in poverty. These people believe sacrificing their lives in search of a better future in a fools errand. And there are several verses in the holy book that can be used to back this up. Likewise, there are several other verses that can be used to support the notion of wealth being health.
Expecting society to treat u a certain way is like expecting to have a conversation with a lion in a locked cage.
