The Alluring Call of Material Power

It ceaselessly, on all levels, reverberates smashing through the gates of logic, innocence and reason. It knows no time or season as men of high or low estate prostitute their very sanity, prostitute the very clarity of their minds and souls. Assuredly, ever since man to the state of reason attained testing them 'till they gained the whole world and vast power and lost their humanity, their very sanity. The grip of material power is incalculable, it has filled, and continues to fill and to flood the world with pain and woe, its perpetrators fully aware, know the suffering, the agony they cause. yet they care not, will not e'en pause as they pursue and solidify powers grasp crushing all who oppose, to their last gasp. Compassion and caring is their enemy. Their way, their only road is that of brutality.

All so true - and very well expressed. Describes the Celtic Tiger (our boom), very well. A big recession has now overtaken Ireland and hopefully one result will be that people review their values - Liz
