Modern Man Talks Of A Battle With Nature, Forgetting That, If He Won The Battle, He Would Find Himself On The Losing Side

From A Buddhist Point Of View, This Is Standing The Truth On Its Head By Considering Goods As More Important Than People And Consumption As More Important Than Creative Activity. It Means Shifting The Emphasis From The Worker To The Product Of Work, That Is, From The Human To The Sub-human, Surrender To The Forces Of Evil.

To Organize Work In Such A Manner That It Becomes Meaningless, Boring, Stultifying, Or Nerve-racking For The Worker Would Be Little Short Of Criminal; It Would Indicate A Greater Concern With Goods Than With People, An Evil Lack Of Compassion And A Soul-destroying Degree Of Attachment To The Most Primitive Side Of This Worldly Existence.

It Has Been Universally Recognized, In All Authentic Teachings Of Mankind, That Every Being Born Into This World Has To Work, Not Merely To Keep Himself Alive, But To Strive Towards Perfection.
