    Most of us have heard the expression “money is the root of all evil.” That’s close, but not quite right. It’s selfishness to the point of greed. “I want it and you can’t have it.” That’s what is destroying the world. Spending money to gain power over others or to get rid of them is just par for the course.

    Unless we find a way to solve the problem of greed, whether for resources, money, or power, we will never solve anything.

      It needs to be considered a mental illness which one cannot solve alone. Then we can toss the fuckers in charge of fortune 500 companies into looney bins and get society’s shit together.
