Is money a blessing or a curse? That depends on how we use it and what it does to us. If it makes us better people and we use it as a resource to help others, it is a blessing. If it makes us self-absorbed it is a curse.

The Torah tells us not to add commandments that are not written in the Torah and not to remove commandments that G-d wrote into the Torah.
