Why has the Occupy movement petered out so much? Why isn't there an active organization of local groups against the Citizens United court decision? Why are Americans being constantly bombarded with different forms of government and corporate spying? Why do millionaire lobbyists have free access to critical points of legislation?
We are not a people-centered society anymore, but a money-centered one. There is a hollow existence to daily life, where financial comfort is the way of life. And only those already comfortable can and will get more rich. And the way one attains money these days leave open any quasi-legal means of doing so.
If we are to be united again as a country, we must not forget who our 'neighbors' are. We must care about their quality of life, while caring for ours. We must constantly choose charity and service over advantage and competition. Humanity is the ultimate quality of life. Mercy reminds us of such sentiments... Be kind.
