Philosophy of Everyday Life - A small fragment - 2

If one can carry on with life without much craving for money, then surely he has a mind that needs to be excavated and studied, his value system to be understood, and possibly adopted in retail, if not wholesale. He possibly is a person much closer to the nature, the mother earth. He surely must have understood how to preserve his own self. Being closer to the nature surely may not be the only way to preserve oneself, but surely one of the oldest and simple. He is a person guided more by spiritual instincts rather that material aspects. He has wisdom, courage, self-restraint and sense of judgement, the four main virtues that lead to moral excellence. So he possibly bears moral excellence, which promotes personal well-being. It is personal well-being that eventually gives birth to collective well-being. Conversely, in collective well-being lies the secret of personal well-being.

However, the philosophy depicted above may not necessarily be conversely true. A person with craving for money may also have the same above-mentioned moral excellence. No, it is certainly not always conversely true.
