The Third Way

Pity the poor Communists
Who misjudged humanity’s dark side

Pity the poor capitalists
Who worshiped unbridled greed

Hooray for Buddhists
Who choose a third path
Mindfully controlling greed
Reducing the “I ness”
Embracing a higher consciousness

Love of power seems to be a detriment to the power of love. Materialism will eventually destroy us.

I believe you have very little understanding of what makes society work or are you just naive.
