“Our desire for things has created a great imbalance and toll on this world’s environment. This acquisition has led to the few owning and controling most of the wealth. And as this imbalance becomes more distorted, the odds of a great war and the destructive backlash of the evironment causing horrible diseases becomes more likely. But if we were on the high path, we would live in simplicity. How many homes does one need to live in. How many clothes do we need to dress with. Things, things and more things. Soon they own us. We worry about these things. We steal them. Go to war over them. Spend our time guarding and maintaining them. We become bored with things, discard them, get new things and repeat the cycle over and over. But we are still lonely, unfulfilled, agitated.”
