Caring is the Heart of change. It's in the hands of the banana pickers to change their destiny. As primitives, we knew this and teamed up as Hunter-Gatherers & Agricultural Communities. This in time evolved into markets & modern businesses. I've heard it said (in a movie, of all things) "If there's a knife to their belly, they'll keep their hands to their sides". The movie was "The Omen" and I believe this has become the motto of modern business leaders throughout the world.
If those people can (in this age of global communication) be made aware that the carrot they see dangling is only intended to keep them barely alive & enslaved, perhaps they might find just cause to reject the carrot & create their own Agricultural Communities (or Technological, who knows?). This could easily spark the very heart of capitalism - competition.
I for one, believe I'll be caring over the course of many lives. But Luv William Penn, just the same.
