I watched a documentary today
and I was stung by a phrase
I have heard my whole life:
All most people want
is power
and money.
I then realized that 
even the most sacred
of universal truths;
truths that if properly applied
could save our world
are not being taught in that way
but rather 
put into trashy self help books
aimed at unhappy people
who want nothing from life
but to make more money.

  3. You have done it. It's one of those things that are so true and simple but you just don't realize it until some one puts it in front of your face. I like that you made me think, we need more of that here.
