Materialism

<p>HFI would like to promote individual achievement &amp; social cooperation in accord with nature. To do this, we will use clear intentions, a calm attitude, focus, and harmony. We will explore the inner workings of life in hope of discovering universal truths. To fulfill our obligation to society, we wish to work toward defending the weak, protecting the environment, useful education, eliminating poverty, and implementing universal healthcare as a means to peace. PRINCIPLES: 1) We want to govern ourselves, not others. 2) We want to work for unity instead of competition. 3) We want to be open and promote general participation and reject secrecy, racism, sexism, homophobia, and other discriminatory practices. 4) We strive for simplicity and moderation.</p><p>In this issue: Adjusting to life in Chicago after being in stagnation and finding comfort in stability, thoughts on relationships and marriage, neighbors and feeling connections to the grief of others in the city, removing attachments to possessions, worries about being misunderstood and adhering to your own mission statement to avoid it.<br /></p>
