Are we living this?

Mahatma Gandhi said that there are seven things that will destroy us;

1. Wealth without work
2. Pleasure without conscience
3. Knowledge without character
4. Commerce without morality
5. Science without humanity
6. Religion without sacrifice
7. Politics without Principle.

Hmm. Is it too late?
