Human Society Has Eliminated the Humans In Its Midst
Humans have the unique ability to be objective observers of their own behavior. Unfortunately, we have let this ability atrophy in our concentration on immediate gains. It’s time we started exercising it again to solve our most immediate problem – our inability to do anything right.
The reason for this was simple – we need human skills to solve our problems but we have eliminated our humans as useless beings who only got in the way of making money. Human concerns obstructed the working of the market – which had to be of primary importance. Moral concerns, we thought, could safely be ignored.
But they cannot. We have to get our priorities straight – we have to come first, not anything else – not even money. If we cornered every cent in the world, and were the most powerful people in the world, but lost our humanity – we would have lost everything, and ended up with nothing.
It is going to be difficult to concentrate once again on us – since we have gotten so used to thinking we are of little value. At the office, which is a gigantic brain-washing operation, we are constantly reminded that money is much more important than we are. We are afraid of being ourselves in this world – afraid of being human.
Religion has also atrophied and it is not interested in us – but is safely in the side-saddle of business.
We have become obsessed with our things, and have become like things ourselves.
We are in pretty bad shape – and it is about time we realized that.
