Reply #41: I agree that technology can solve a lot of problems. [View All]

But, I also believe that we are going to have to work together and share resources to make it possible for the technology to be developed and to benefit us all.

The question today is not whether we can solve our economic and technological problems, but how the burdens and profits of those developments will be allocated in the future. The cars will keep running and the stock market will keep increasing in value as long as the majority of us have confidence that we have a valuable role to play in our society, that we will be adequately rewarded for playing our roles and that we will not be exploited or left out, as long as we can all trust the system and each other.

If we do not learn to share with each other, if the strong and greedy few grab most of the wealth and all of the power, we will wake up to the cries of the hungry and the poor. Sharing is a spiritual path that leads to fulfillment and peace.
