Business must be tampered with heart and care for environment and others. Failure to do so, will lead to all kinds of problems.

Take for example, the global warming and earth changes are direct effects of this lack of care. Many of us simply did not cared enough to keep the environment from deteriorating. Businesses focussed purely on profit-making are just not good enough.

In my view, we should not assume that mankind is central to the world. A human-based economic system should ideally also take into account the well-being of the entire ecosystem.

Perhaps, economy should not be only about human beings. We tend to see from a rather narrow perspective and believe that money-making has little or nothing to do with the welfare of the Earth and the ecosystem. But the fact is we humans do take sustenance from the atmosphere, animal and plant kingdoms; therefore we are dependent upon other species and the conditions on Earth for our survival. As such, human activities should be accounted for within a equation that does not place Mankind upon a pedestal; but rather assigns mankind objectively with other species and elements of this diverse planet.

The current human activities are simply too self-absorbed within our own kind. In the past, we can afford to be so. But the industrial revolution has exponentially worsen the effects of mankind's expansionist activities.

My view is that in order for our future generation to thrive comfortably into the future, our entire mindset about making money must take on a paradigm shift. Profit making must be balanced with a healthy regard for other people, lifeforms and the environment. Myopic and purely expansionist concepts will not work well in the future. The world functions on a dynamics of cause and effect. The effects of our disregard for others and the environment has been playing out and will continue to play out its unpleasant outcomes. The only way to reverse the effect is to change our ways now.

Thank you for reading.
