All this happened, more or less.

...the essence of the Buddha's teaching can be found in two sayins:

If possible, you should help others.
If that is not possible, at least you should not harm.

p. 71.
Dalai Lama, 2002.

cf: useful, harmful, neutral functions

People become the sum total of what they produce. Human beings act like machines whose function is to make money. This is absolutely wrong. The purpose of making money is the happiness of humankind, not the other way around. Humans are not for money, money is for humans. We need enough to live, so money is necessary, but we also need to realize that if there is too muhc attachment to wealth, it does not help at all. p.35
