And here is where Gandhi comes in. If our societies are run according to the greed principle, with the rich doing everything to get richer, the growing resource crisis will lead to a widening divide between the rich and the poor – and quite possibly to an increasingly violent struggle for survival.
如果我们不能立刻做出改变的话，一场大灾就将无法避免，而这也正是甘地的睿智之处。如果我们的社会继续以这样的贪婪法则运作下去的话——富人想尽办法去使自己更富——不断加剧的资源危机将导致更大的贫富差距——也更可能导致更多为求生存而爆发的暴力行为。
