‎In today's materialistic world there is a risk of people becoming slaves to money, as though they were simply cogs in a huge money-making machine. This does nothing for human dignity, freedom, and genuine well-being. Wealth should serve humanity, and not the other way around.

We need cooperation based on trust and self-confidence to create an open, compassionate, harmonious society.

The point of life is happiness.
