We have just about wiped out polio. We are learning a lot about cancer. We have admitted alcoholism is a sickness, and have started treating for it. People are quitting smoking every day. I'm proud to say I'm one. We are treating drug abuse, anorexia, and bulimia.
I think we are ignoring the biggest sickness of all, probably because we don't want to hurt the feelings of those who have it. This is a sickness that is hurting the whole world. One of the biggest problems, everybody who has it is proud of it. It's called.........GREED!
I like to think I could live the rest of my life on a million dollars, without earning another penny, except from the money itself. There are people who have Billions of dollars, more money than they can spend in a lifetime, and their biggest concern is: how can they get some more.
Tragically, like any decease, you have to admit you have a problem before you can start healing. Since nobody is going to tell them they have the problem, they'll never find out. I don't have an answer, do you?
