Illegal Loggings, Greed and Death

I was watching TV Patrol and 24 Oras, two news programs on TV, last week and saw the devastation wrought by Typhoon Winnie and the scare brought by Typhoon Yoyong.The tragedy that befell on those thousands of people, and the loss of lives were not due only to the wrath of nature. Death and destruction came because of greed, and the desire of man to have more than enough.

Why can't we live with enough in our pockets, and on our table? "Enough" living will not make us hungry, and greedy.Enough living will stop corruption and thievery and the illegal loggings that destroyed whole towns and killed thousands of people, trapped by the rushing waters, thick mud and rampaging logs!
