The way riches of today earn money and looking to their intentions behind accumulation of wealth, one can think that it will be usually wasted in: (1) making their next generations lazy and immoral (2) throwing to thieves, doctors, pubs, bars and prostitutes (3) fighting political battles (4) extravaganza of marriages and ceremonies (5) exhibition of hollow status and vanity (6) statutory taxes, disputes and law suits after death (7) greed of achieving easy access to heaven through rituals performed by cheaters (8) searching quick fame by donating to pompous charity with high publicity (9) robbery by cunning showing dreams of farmhouses. So, as per the well-known proverb, “Ill got ill spent”, the money earned through unethical means goes behind anti-social motives. Hardly ever this class of rich can be persuaded for supporting a noble cause of educating population at large on the basis of their real progress. Though it appears quite disappointing, nothing is wrong in putting efforts, to convince some wise, rich, benevolent man with a vision, to relieve mankind from this prison of emotional bondage and exploitation, who will contribute at least a fraction of his wealth to this noble cause. The wealthy should understand that there is no greater act of kindness other than contributing towards mental and emotional re-construction of a well-behaved mankind. Compassion and good intention may lead them to think over contributing a little more generously for this, which can be a root cause of either creating or destroying the whole mankind over entire world in years to come.
