A strong umbilical cord connects these three evils to other related social evils such as economic exploitation, caste systems, poverty, capitalism, individualism, atheism, violence and war, to name a few. With its monozygotic appearance, this entity nourishes with hatred, individualistic concerns and violence, corroding human souls. As long as human beings cherish and adore the false divinities of race superiority, unequal distribution of wealth, and a frenetic rush for weapons of mass destruction and violence, paying lip service to humaneness and social cohesion, the giant triplets will never cease growing stronger and stronger. To follow in King’s wake of a great communicator, I have coined the term “triple goods”. I have derived such an inspiration from the sermon “The Three Dimensions of a Complete Life” preached by King several times as a trio powerful enough to vanquish the giant triplets. Each person has a humanistic responsibility to educate themselves, and to practice a three-dimensional love centered on the improvement of human life immunized against racism, materialism and militarism.
