Is Money Really Precious?

Money can be a good thing and yet can also be very harmful. Money can help to fullfill almost 70% of a person needs in life, and when a person have money he has power. The more money a person has, the power he posseses.
Majority of people nowadays thinks that money is everything,money is the whole world. Because of this thinking they start to lose important things things in life. I may not be sure with what types of important things are, but for sure one of it is "RELATIONSHIP".
From what i've seen in my 22 years of life is that the so called mighthy thing called "MONEY" has destroy many types of relationship. Relationship ranges from friends, couples and even to the extend of families.
What i know is that families are supposed to live in harmony as they are born from the same root,spend most of thier lives togehter & watch each other back. But i now i feel dissapointed i've seen Money destroying that harmony. Why things can't be compromise easily? Why must fight? Can't things be taken easily?
