And what's wrong with wanting material things anyway? Why judge other people who want material things? What does that have to do with YOU?
Totally agree with you. People should be a little more occupied with their own intentions instead of judging others.

It also gets a bad rap for not talking about action... which is just plain false. It has a segment which talks about inspired action, and it's not more emphasised because that segment implies that action springs forth from positive thinking when the time and place is appropriate. I'm sure you understand, Cylon.
