"If the Bible becomes an object of worship, then we replace the living Christ with dead letters. And without the living Christ, it is possible to wind up with a faith that denigrates the poor. the unorthodox. the outsider, women, sexual minorities, and hungry children. You know, all the people Jesus loved to be around."
THE CHANGE
The threat and the horror for people to change from a worldview of becoming selfishly rich and greedy have been tried countless times for centuries. Commonsense has stopped it from happening.
Commonsense is fabricated by what humanity is lead to believe through learned behavior. If it is common for us to believe we must become selfishly wealthy in order to ensure our and our families safety and prosperity. We, therefore, will compete with each other to achieve it. Much like a game we share. Some ignore it while others devote their whole lives to it.
The prospect of creating a common goal to end inequality and set humanity on the right and the correct path to surviving and becoming a multi-planet species comes with the understanding that we as a species must follow certain parameters.
Being honest with ourselves demands we understand that changing the goals and understandings of other human beings does not involve the death or an end to anyone's life.
If humanity is to become civilized it must first understand that the rich are redeemable and must be made aware that they have nothing to fear from giving up some of their wealth in order that vast numbers of humanity survive.
The rich fear the vast numbers of starving and suffering humanity. The hoards carrying pitchforks as Warren Buffett calls them. Because of their fear, a number of the rich have offered verbal concessions and have been moved to engage in philanthropist endeavors to accommodate themselves as humane benefactors of humanity "and they are."
What protects benefactors are the people who believe in today's systems of inequality and it is proper mainly because it affords humanity the time to enact a humane change to a better system of equality for all of us.

We have read and heard many of the most wealthy say they are giving up much of their wealth to charities (what charities?) upon their death. We have also heard the rich say they are not going to leave their accumulated wealth to their children. Once you have given your children the best of everything in accommodation, nutrition, education, and the introduction of an influential society what more would they need to succeed? HOWEVER!
In doing away with inequality humanity will have a greater chance of harvesting the humane individuals more suited to serving humanity and not those who would indulge in making themselves opulently rich.
MOST IMPORTANTLY DO NOT ENVY THE RICH
