No, I rather see it as Elevating the Quality of the nation.

It's not a question of morals here, it's not right or wrong. 
Remember the minute you say morals you are dictating a standard for doing
things. 
you are taking freedom away. We don't want that.
The will to help has to come from within.
Sharing your fortune is a voluntary thing. Philanthropy to elevate the
quality of the citizens, to invest in yourself and the community.
that falls under the ZMM and not Lila
