Outlines The Problem But Offers No Solutions.

From; Jennifer Hunter, Farfield Avenue, Knaresborough, North Yorkshire.
MARTYN L Scargill (Yorkshire Post, December 21) asks where all the balance has gone with regard to wealth and luxuries. I believe that I can answer his question with two words – human nature.
I have written about human nature and have asserted that it remains fundamentally the same regardless of the period of time and a variety of circumstances.
Throughout history, characteristics of human nature have manifested themselves in a similar manner. Some characteristics have successfully brought about positive social change, such as the provision of better working and housing conditions by benefactors in years gone by.
Other characteristics, including greed, over-indulgence and eagerness to exploit less fortunate individuals have led to very great material and social inequalities.
Societies and individuals may, indeed, often strive to provide equality and equal opportunities for citizens, but human nature will always prevail and there will always be inequalities and injustice.
Human nature cannot be eradicated because the nature of a person is an integral part of that person, an intangible part of a living being. At a collective level, the desire for material goods, wealth and social prestige is, equally, intangible because it is simply a part of today’s society.'
BUT there is a solution. He is called Jesus.
