Accumulating Wealth

Excessive accumulation of material wealth, impoverishes the soul to the degree of moral starvation!

Well said Demi! Material wealth is but an appetizer, with or without we manage, as long as we do not miss out on the 'main meal'. Regards // paul

We spend so much time in the pursuit of the temporary. "moral starvation" is an apt term.
