'By attributing worth to tangible objects, man becomes attracted to them; attraction to them brings desire for them; desire leads to competition and dispute amongst men. These rouse violent anger, and the result is delusion. Delusion completely overcomes man's sense of right and wrong.'
(Srimad Bhagavatam, 11:16)
