FOUR SCOURGES OF HUMANITY

As all profit from the sale of this book will be donated to St. Jude Children's Hospital, you might think that would be the primary reason for encouraging you to buy the book. It was not! The book was written, and priced at the lowest permitted price, to awaken us to a far more detrimental scourge of humanity - the desire of a few to advance their own agendas without regard for the misery inflicted on billions of people. The disparity that exists between the rich and the poor and the powerful and the weak becomes more apparent every day. As the saying goes, "Power corrupts! Absolute power corrupts absolutely!"

Who gave them this power? We did! All we did was NOTHING! In doing so, we chose to ignore what the world's most famous spiritual and social leaders have taught us regarding the fruits of selfishness, including BUDDHA, CONFUCIUS, MOHAMMED, MOSES, JESUS, and HINDU philosophy. Even ATHEISTS and AGNOSTICS have often exhibited the same characteristics from an intrinsic sense of morality.

Hopefully, this book will serve as a guide to creating a better life for everyone, both now and for future generations.
