3. The corruption that comes from the love of money
Sat May 13, 2017, 07:30 PM
May 2017

It's a theme that I thought about a lot this past year. I see how republicans have allowed themselves to be seduced by the insatiable, relentless desire to acquire more and more money. The corruption of money eats away at generosity and compassion, feeds arrogance and indifference to the desparate needs of others, destroys our environment, and really doesn't create lasting happiness. It also leads to violent political revolutions, one of which was in our very own country.
