Making Business out of Everything!

Why do people do this?
Make Business out of everything?

Terrorism - If somebody is killed, news papers gives a lot of different stories about that.. The best thrilling story - whether true or not! makes more money! People have started using even 'Death' as a reason to make out money!

Disasters - If some place is hit by Tsunami, even for that, people will start creating stupid stories around it and then invite everyone for anti-tsunami prayers, fund raising, etc. etc. How many of these fund raising actually is used for the mentioned purpose?
These are done just to escape tax??

God - I think this is the most misused 'subject' for earning money! People are constructing temples, ashrams, homes, etc in the name of God just for the sake of earning money! Just of the sake acquiring fame and power!
This will ultimately reflect in the core principles of human kind!The belief that people have on their lives, the belief with which they live - everything will be shattered! Its like killing Human kind! Burying the core values and principles of human kind!

Yoga classes - I really dont like some of these modern day yoga classes. Which tells you how to be "Good". How to do good to others. You cannot cultivate "goodness" in someone by telling them how good people react to situations. You cannot become good by imitating someone. You cannot become good because someone else wants you to be good! Basically, they are teaching you how to "act" like good people by clearly explaining what are the traits of good people, how they react to situations, how they smile, how they walk, how they talk, etc.,
Goodness should come from within. You should feel it within you. Then only can you express it - bring it to the outside world. Others can feel it. Here again may be not everyone can feel it!

Yoga - union with supreme bliss. You achieve that by doing various exercises which brings discipline in your body. Controlling your prana, emotions, etc. You purify your body at the subconscious level by controlling your prana.. and there are many more in this which are beyond my knowledge now. So basically yoga helps you to purify your mind, body and soul and you automatically become good. I mean, you dont even focus on being good. It just happens..
But these modern day yoga teachers, they teach you few exercises (These few exercises also, they do not know whether you are doing it the right way! They have so many students and they cannot concentrate on you!!) and they lecture about how you should "act" like good people. Its like as thought they can bring something divine from somewhere and externally fix it on your face!! The worst part is people start believing that they have become good because they are doing good as their masters have said! But, just acting on the superficial layer is not going to be of any help! Trying to cheat one's self in order to attract more business!!
I can only laugh at these who try to fool themselves..

Not only these.. The list goes on.. Politics, Sports, Arts, Disease, Religion, etc, etc,. Its Endless!! Anything that comes on the way.. People can use it for making money.

Should I say people are very intelligent these days?
Or people are going mad to believe everything without thinking rationally?
