Building a small union and thinking it is a whole is just a deceit.
The whole has been there for thousands of years, but it has been

fragmented by personal interests.

The real situation has to be understood in order to move in the
right direction. That is the first prerequisite for further undisturbed

development of the social relationships. Once an issue or
conduct is clearly detected, it can easily be solved.

Appreciating goodness is essentially a step towards creation of a

moral person with ethical conduct. Throughout history, wise
people revealed goodness, taught about it, but people did not

accept it gladly because they were more concerned with the
moments of personal pleasure. We have two parallel situations:

we recognize what is good but we continue with immoral
behavior. Nowadays, if you behave in a moral way, you lose

personal pleasure. Money is important when it comes to

providing security, but at the same time the teachings of the
sages echo in people’s minds. We admire the sages but we want

money. This is the reality today.

If money were abolished there would be chaos in the society. As

a moral person, you would become a black sheep to the

environment. A person chooses money because they want to
adapt to their environment which established the need for money.

The system of social relationships defines how people behave.
