“Overconsumption is a "cancer eating away at our spiritual vitals." It cuts the heart right out of our compassion. It distances us from the great masses of broken bleeding humanity. It converts us into materialists. We become less able to ask moral questions. For example, just because we have the economic muscle to buy up vast amounts of the world's oil, does that give us the right to do so? When the poor farmer of India is unable to buy a gallon of gasoline to run his simple water pump because the world's demand has priced him out of the market, who is to blame?” WorldGivingHeartDoeRunningAbleSpiritualHumanityAsksWaterSimplePoorCompassionMoralCuttingEconomicExampleBrokenAmountDemandEatingMassIndiaBlameDistanceCancerOilMusclesFarmersConsumerismBleedingPumpsOverconsumptionGasolineGallons Author:Richard J.

“When a poet writes a poem, meaning arises - because the poet is not alone; he has created something. When a dancer dances, meaning arises. When a mother gives birth to a child, meaning arises.
