Knowledge trumps riches (#1875)

When will our American wealthy brethren finally figure it out that wealth is not the answer in life? Knowledge Is! We have within us a need to know not a need to to be greed driven. Our desire to accumulate is based upon the unknown not the lust of glitter and gold! Why is it that we would readily hurt ourselves and others with a false illusion of grandeur? It is because we are not being instilled with our own true sense of worth. This consumerist society we have created should never be the means to our end. It is just a method for modernity to evolve, nothing more. We should all be participating in the remarkableness of the ingenuity mankind is continually discovering. We are a team against all other unknowns that surely will be discovered in time if we can survive our own internal cancerous behavior. That the bigger picture is not being taught as a primer is to our species' detriment. We act as if we are secure in our species' safety when we could not be further from deluding ourselves on this point. Yes, we try to guard against devastation from attacks within our own species against ourselves, but that is just indicative of our own failings to each other, not to the bigger picture of our overall species survival. What we have now is the idea that most don't care about the future in the sense that outside of our own sphere of living little else matters. Now I am not saying that most in their hearts don't want what is best for our future generations but what I am saying is that we don't care enough to actually do something about it!
