been  promoted  in  numerous  revolutions,  but  it  can  only  be
        achieved when it is agreed upon and not by violence.


        The noble goals of many revolutions have never been achieved.

        The defeated were killed and the winners took over power and
        used  it  for  personal  ends.  In  essence,  only  the  ownership  of

        material goods was transferred.

        Why do people fight for more material goods?


        The main reasons are to secure their future, to have higher living
        standard  than  the  others,  to  sooth  their  own  vanity  or  to  get

        something that was previously unattainable.


        A person must be in tune with the social relationships. New vistas
        and values open when these relationships develop. Sometimes a

        hasty  change  does  not  yield  good  solutions and  destroying old
        values  does  not  give  good  results.  Human  reason  has  to  be

        developed and used to get to the right solutions for a truly better

        life.

        In the future, ownership will definitely give up its primary position

        in  people’s  minds  but  proper  conditions  have  to  be  created.
        Acknowledgement of the whole by the entire society is the first

        step that should be made.

        Nowadays,  there  are  prisons  or  correctional  facilities,  but

        different kind of education is needed to bring positive results.
