Material wealth requests material sacrifice. We draw on the earth's resources in order to polish the facade whereas the interior wealth is neglected. We study in order to become economically independent, not in order to understand the real Universe.

We can achieve knowledge about the minutest of particles and yet fail to understand the basics of wisdom; how each minute little particle must be respected, revered and carefully brought forth as much as possible in order for us to understand the entity.

Power of Goodness
Knowledge and labour

So after a supposedly good life we are able to hand over the knowledge to our children, and as life's guests, leaves the world the way we would have liked to receive it, after a life of unselfish labor, which should have formed a society of wisdom, rather than one of nihilism sustained by the master religions.
