Idealism and Materialism

The two forces of Idealism and Materialism seem to struggle in an eternal fight for being the true success for mankind. As a twist of irony some of the most materialistic people (think Jacob Fugger, Henry Ford, George Soros, Bill Gates etc.) turned into the most benevolent idealists (remarkably outside their respective businesses). Now Master Nishijiama offers the conclusion: Apply Buddhist practise to both and Idealism and Materialism will form something bigger than the parts: Realism.
The planet could need much more of that!
