Goldkin's Journal: Musings of the Shiny Lizard

I rarely share things I find on the Internet here (for that, I use my Twitter and Google Reader accounts), but I like this one enough to drop here anyway. From Tricycle Magazine's Daily Dharma:

When there is understanding and a set of values that encourage sharing, then the limitations, the needs, and the lacks of any given life can be acknowledged and effort can be put into using material supports with compassion. This is also true in cases of deprivation; surely a major contributor to this is the greed and exploitation of others, which has its source in identification with material prosperity.

This captures the essence of the piece, but if you'd like to read the full article, you'll find it here.
