Human Greed Materialism Nature Demure Moral Capitalism
MATERIALISM - "PROGRESS" - MANIC CONSUMERISM
in "The Russian Question" by Alexander Sozhenitsyn (1918-2008)

Progress has bumped up against two realities:
first; the limited physical resources of the planet ...
second; the intractability of human nature ....
acquisitiveness and selfishness makes us always dissatisfied with even the material plenty ...
rather than slaking our thirst, it has merely whetted it ...
in the absence of moral, religious, and spiritual concerns ...
thirst for personal possessions ... is very nearly all that remains ... (a loss of) of a higher purpose to our lives.
