A:"I don't want their money. I want respect." B:"Money is respect in this world." This is a brief exchange between two characters in a TV movie. Do you think it may be true? Do you think that in this world money has taken the place of respect and, consequently, of dignity? If this 'were' true (let's hope it is not, at least not entirely), where is mankind headed? A society that chooses material success, wealth and power as the most desirable goals of life, can hardly be the best guide towards ideals of peace and serenity. The fact is that material achievements are shrewdly shown on social media with alluring images that can easily bring one to believe them. How many (young) people can resist the fascination of seemingly perfect beauty, opulent dwellings, the possess of assets and the 'reign' over people? Has money really become the new "god"?
