A friend has sent me an article about a new biography of Karl Marx, and asked me if I was interested in fiscal matters. Am I interested in fiscal matters. Is the Pope Catholic?? My response:
"Bottom line: Any philosophy that rests on the principle that The end justifies the means is doomed to failure. As it should be.
"Stan
"P.S. Am I "interested in the financial landscape"?? Indeed i am. And am even Marxian in a way. That is to say, for the idea of doing away with the motive of 'profit'. (And interest-bearing money. And its training-wheel partner, fractional-reserve banking.) But he/his way of thinking would just keep things on the material level. The answer is to go spiritual - i.e., to go for truth in our living. Which means, to recognize that we are 'spiritual beings having a human experience'. And so, should go for the motive power that reflects that truth, that larger reality. To say: To share our goods and services with one another - and give of our best in the process - out of a higher motive than the one of making a profit. Out of the highest motive that there could ever be: Out of gratitude to our Creator for life with meaning. Out of, in a word: Love.

"Time for a change.
"For the
"Change."
