Mahatma Gandhi said the seven things that will destroy us are WEALTH without work, PLEASURE without conscience, KNOWLEDGE without character, COMMERCE without morality, SCIENCE without humanity, WORSHIP without sacrifice and POLITICS without principle.
Just as the Bible recorded in Genesis 3 : 19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground ....
The latest global catastrophe and financial turnmoil were mainly due to men greed - men eager to gain wealth without putting in much effort for it. Complicated financial derivatives and speculation by hedge funds are the main culprits of the economic crisis in US and Europe, and Asia following behind. Surely this desire will lead us not only into economic crisis but also social unrest where recession will affect the man in the street.
We should follow the WORD of God, to be good stewardship of our money and to work for our food.
