Morality measures all choices.
So much suffering results from our individual actions, impelled by our choices, when our choices are compelled by selfish desires.

"Me", "my" and "Mine" are the trinity of original sin, so to speak.
Me, my, mine and more mangle the message of us, our and enough.

Enough with personal greed, enough of covetousness.
