Seven Sins

Mahatma Gandhi once wrote about the "Seven Social Sins":

• politics without principles, 
• wealth without work, 
• pleasure without conscience, 
• knowledge without character, 
• commerce without morality, 
• science without humanity, and 
• worship without sacrifice.

How many of these seven sins have we as a society committed in the last years and decades? Does this have anything to do with our current crisis? At least 3 sins have heavily lead to where we are: 

• Politics is run by lobbyists and Wall Street, 
• Printing money and making money through speculation and exchange manipulation is commonplace, 
• Commerce exclusively focuses on profits and ignores resources, nature and health.

Mahatma was a truly wise man.
