The future of the world is in our children's hands. Therefore, if we wish to bring about a more compassionate — and therefore fairer society — it is essential that we educate our children to be responsible, caring human beings. When a person is born rich, or acquires wealth by some other means, they have a tremendous opportunity to benefit others. What a waste when that opportunity is squandered on self-indulgence.
