A CALL FOR A NEW SOCIETY

Description

excerpts:

“Unfortunately, concern for others can be translated into effective action only by those who are working for their own self-perfecting.  Only people who sincerely wish to give rather than take, to overcome their own weaknesses rather than exploit the weaknesses of others, can create a society that will survive in the hard times ahead.  The hard times are themselves a necessary factor in self-perfecting. ”

“Our present society, based on great institutions that control economic resources and political power, tends to strengthen the materialistic and egoistic sides of human nature.  We need a new kind of society in which concern for needs of others and of Nature as a whole will predominate over self-interest and fear.”
