Existing misery, much of it is caused by selfishness. Regarded as the summum bonum are high profits. An immense proportion of the poorer classes remain entirely uncivilized. The poorer classes debase themselves by the vices that accompany civilization. However, they make no use of its advantages and benefits. Human ignorance and self-indulgence is the result of misery. Misery is most commonly the result of individual vice and improvidence. Education will help the working class to use their means of comfortable living.
