And so I said, you guys act as if it wasn't.
... It got a little quiet for a while. Then an elderly gentleman said, well, OK chief, I think I
can answer that question for you. He said, I think most people here would agree with
me. As a CEO, he said, I am beholden to the stockholders. The stockholders demand a
profit. He said, if I don't show a profit in the company, I'm fired.

30. A human being is part of a whole, called by us the
‘Universe’ —a part limited in time and space. He

persons nearest us. Our task must be to free
ourselves from this prison by widening our circles
of compassion to embrace all living creatures and
the whole of nature in its beauty.”
