The selfishness that fuels Capitalism I find sad. I know the other systems didn't pan out(yet), but the level of abject greed seems, in the long run, counterproductive? I understand making a profit; I don't understand greed. Yea--"Greed is good!" It was a movie quote. Why do I feel some people actually think it's cool now? I'm not commenting on this particular resturant, but business--even personal financial transactions seem to have gotten too cut throat? Maybe I never noticed just how greedy some entities and people are, but it seems to have gotten worse? I can't blame it on the Internet. I saw the change in the 80's. I'll give one example I see going on in this county. A person buys a house. They rent out a room. They become friends with the tenant. The tenant helps the landlord on a personal level--like taking them to doctor's appointments, they socially interact, they are kind of like family. But the Landlord continually raises rent to market rates. Well, eventually the tenant loses respect and moves out. Who won? The Doctor who drags in patients for unnesarry office visits? The Veterinarian who jacks up their prices when an "animal lover walks in". (Yea, I had a girlfriend who worked at a veterinarian hospital and they had a code they threw around the office when they thought they could "financially milk" a pet's owner.) I mortgage broker who knows the deal is horrid, but smiles right through the bankruptcy. I'm not a religious person, but I was brought to a Lutheran Church as a kid for years. I sat there thinking how can I incorporate this selflessness that guy up there is talking about into the real world. I never found a fool proof plan, but I was never greedy. I will die knowing I tried to do the right thing, and it was not about the money. The problem is I might die Homeless, and I know that's no way to live a life. I just wish the people who call the shots--would show a little bit of compassion. A little bit? Enough so when you do die--the people at your funeral are there because they truly loved, and respected you. I'm not preaching. I just don't think maximizing profits in every situation is copacetic! And just because it's legal, doesn't make it right, at least in my little world. I'm feeling nauseous. It's this post I'm writing, or something is wrong with my liver? If there is a God please give me a few more years, or take me out without the pain my father went through.
