Ordinary citizens should make an effort not to admire the
showoffism of which there is so much around us. For example, do
not look at beautiful modern cars or limousines with which the
owners want to show off when driving around. Do not look at and
admire the very elaborate and shiny motorcycles on which young
people sit and speed to be a show off and be admired. Do not
admire big villas and mansions the owners of which want to show
off and be admired. Turn your eyes away from all this and
perhaps when they see that nobody admires them they will also
become more sensitive to the need for simplicity and modesty on
this planet. Yes, there should be a world wave against
overconsumerism and showoffism, two of the major exports of the
United States and the multinational corporations.

Above all, be a good
human being, a loving, concerned member of the human family, a
loving instrument of life and of a better world.
