We all have desires that we want to satisfy. We are a people unlike any other. Animals do what they must with a purpose, we consume and hoard just because it suits us. We take from the Earth and each other only to be emptier each time we do. We do not want to save, we just crave more and more. We leave scars on our mother, we destroy the lives or our sisters and brothers. Some of us rise to exalted heights, while others can't even get enough to eat. When will we come to our senses? When will we learn equality and discipline. Can anyone tell me how much is enough?
