ABSTRACT

The human pillars represent the unstoppable forces of our human ambitions. These ambitions live within us and pervade our daily activities. We strive to “get ahead” both individually and collectively. Our governments set policies and enact regulations with the ultimate goal of strengthening national economies and increasing the value of the goods and services we produce. Individually we struggle to raise our standard of living, to become wealthy and achieve some measure of security. Many seek fame and fortune to be their life’s greatest achievement, and we often de–ne success in terms of wealth and popularity.
