Print on Demand. This book is a broad examination of the social problems facing humanity in the early twentieth century, written by an author who believes that the root cause of society's ills is the pursuit of wealth and material possessions. The author explores the negative impact of a society focused on money, including increased crime, poverty, and degradation of the home, arguing that true progress depends on economic justice, self-determination for women, access to land, and the abolition of militarism. The author emphasizes that the current social order, based on coercion and exploitation, is not inevitable, and advocates for a spiritual transformation of society based on love, equality, and service, concluding that such a society is both desirable and achievable. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Riassunto

Excerpt from The Great Problem

Since it sometimes happens that the humble wayfarer is able so to interpret life through his experience as to prove a blessing to his fellow pilgrims, I have felt emboldened to send out this little message of hope. No attempt has been made at elaborate discussion or final pronounce ment, rather have I sought to gather together a series of frank, suggestive talks concerning a few of the many different phases of the all ah sorbing topic - life; the purpose being both to stimulate the mind to helpful thought and to supply it with a mental reagent. The reading public has been so inundated with information relative to the problem of life that many intelli gent minds are rapidly approaching a condition very like a saturated solution and there is a desire to crystallize something of practical worth out of this great mass of material, hence this attempt to furnish what might be called a mental reagent. I have aimed to set forth certain principles of normal life which should help one in his endeavor to work out his own salvation. If, then, this simple word shall assist any to a more efficient social adjustment and make the pilgrimage along the Great Highway more worth while it will not have been uttered in vain.
