Take away wealth, fame, and social organizations, which weigh not one jot in the balance of God, and we get clearer views of Principle. Break up cliques, level wealth with honesty, let worth be judged according to wisdom, and we get better views of humanity.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p239: 5)
It is refreshing to see these thoughts so clearly enunciated and spread via this media.
I am left to wonder at the apparent material inequalities and inequities in the global communities when in an article today we have the 10 richest people or in one case a family having in excess of $100billion each. Take such wealth and fame away and see a clearer view of Principle and humanity. While not knowing the individual circumstances I do question the need for such focussed accumulation.
