We’ve gone too far in that direction.
We’ve lost our sense of balance.

Remember, those who try to bring you down are already below you.

Generous people are happy because they enjoy making others happy, even if all they can give is a little of their time and energy.

So, having food and clothing, we will be content with these things.
