We're in business to relieve human suffering, to help feed the poor, to provide education and culture - but above all else, we're concerned with the relief of human suffering.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
So much of what we are currently seeing as far as human suffering and misery comes from diseases that should have been preventable but were not.
We need the compassion and the courage to change the conditions that support our suffering. Those conditions are things like ignorance, bitterness, negligence, clinging, and holding on.
All the suffering and joy we experience depend on conditions.
We have the potential to help people out of poverty, out of disease, out of slavery and out of conflict. Too often, we turn the other way because we think there's nothing we can do.
The problem of suffering is: why is there the suffering we know?
All of our energy should be in sacrifice and services. Suffering, at least.
We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery.
We are misery-making machines! Homo sapiens has perfected the art of causing suffering. Pain is humankind's collective GDP.
There is no degree of human suffering which in and of itself is going to bring about change. Only organisation can change things.
If businesses are being given relief, shouldn't the same relief be given to the American people?
