Today, our society is caught up in the grip of superficial
values---glamour, glitter, materialism, a pathological emphasis on
youth, a neglect of the elderly, the handicapped. Families are being
broken up under the impact of a frenzied desire for success. Violence is
glorified and paraded in front of children every day on the media.
Basic human value, basic decent, kindness, cooperation are less and less
evident. Economic pressures and psychological pressures mount. More and
more individuals feel unhappiness---and helplessness---in their
acquisitiveness for pleasure and accumulation in this selfish society.
They turn to artificial stimulants, they lose touch with themselves.
Their problems, their insecurities mount, and become dependency. The
suicides of society cause us to reflect on the terrible trend.
