Yes, if we have a son, we worry about finding him a rich wife, and not about how to develop in him a virtuous nature; we worry how he might acquire money, but not manners. If we engage in business, we don't think about how it might be free from sin, but how it might bring in the most profit. Money is everything now, and so everything has become corrupted and ruined because we are possessed by this passion for money.
