Each one is a unique individual, they all aspire to live life, to use their talents, to support their families and care for their children and elders, to enjoy peace and security and to make tomorrow better. Thanks to science and technology, human society is able to solve problems such as feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless or developing more just conditions of life, but stubbornly fails to accomplish this. How can a booming economy, the most prosperous and global ever, still leave over half of humanity in poverty? Injustice is rooted in a spiritual problem, and its solution requires a spiritual con version of each one's heart and a cultural conversion of our global society so that humankind, with all the powerful means at its disposal, might exercise the will to change the sinful structures afflicting ourworld."
