Recession provides ample time to self-reflect. Great column hoping we use this time for our and social betterment and skip using it to fuel our anger. Let's embrace Gandhian philosophy and try to weed out these seven social sins we all commit unconsciously.
- Commerce without morality
- Politics without principle
- Wealth without work
- Pleasure without conscience
- Education without character
- Science without humanity
- Worship without sacrifice
"When did we allow commerce to be defined primarily by debt-driven consumer spending, creating profits channeled only toward those already at the top of the heap? These are the questions evangelical author Jim Wallis asks in his new book, Rediscovering Values: On Wall Street, Main Street and Your Street. Unlike the rest of us, Wallis is not asking when the recession will end. He wants to know instead how it will end. Or how it will change us, if at all."
