Our world has gone mad with greed. Greed even
overlooks and defies logic. To see it, you need only to open
your eyes. It is also an unfortunate fact that people believe
that you can be greedy and still have justice for all. You
cannot. It's either one or the other, but both cannot coexist.
Any society built on greed is a society built on lies.
The greedy will politicize greed, in attempts to get us to act
on emotions rather than facts. Statements made to excuse the
collective actions of the greedy cannot be trusted. Such
statements undermine the common good.
This book is dedicated to the fact that, in order to
reverse the horrible effects of greed, both individually and
collectively, sacrifice will required - as in 'short-term pain for
long-term gain.' The word sacrifice actually means to make
holy. In Truth, there is no pain in sacrifice. There is only joy
and practical wisdom in the effects of that sacrifice.
Sacrificing greed in favor of the common good is a
sacrifice we must all make now.
