Money

You may think me mad for saying this, but I know this to be true for sure.
If we are truly to evolve into a higher specie, money must go the way of the dinosaur.
What should motivate us all is higher morality
and not the pursuit of gain monetarily, 
which only serves to cultivate greed ultimately.
Greed then goes on to pursue power eventually,
and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
What's the solution? I don't know my friend truly,
but I believe that People Helping People is the key.
All People Helping People Universally
will be at the heart of our newly evolved spiritual currency.

"People helping People" would be a good new motto for our nation, Bill. I liked the original, but I think the revisions make your message even stronger. Thanks for letting me know about the changes. This one will go to my favorites now! Love, Carolyn

You are certainly not "mad," Bill. Couldn't agree with you more and I love the way you expressed your thoughts about greed! Love, Carolyn
