A right to create new businesses?

people of money are worth more as humans?

What of this notion that we hold that people of money are worth more as humans than those with little? Does not that baby have the right to live: to be supported even though she does not bring in any income? What of the aged in failing health—does he have the right to sufficient food, clothing, medicines, shelter? What are the rights we have to life simply because we are exemplars of life itself?

A picture based on Meg Wheatley’s hope:

The picture I am seeing is based on Meg Wheatley’s hope arising from the midst of people sharing their pain: what if we regularly convened truth and reconciliation commissions in our communities? What if people publicly told their pain? What if those who caused the pain were invited, and invited to share their own pain? What if people revealed their humanity in their tears? Could this start conversations of hope? Surely it is not hope we are after but setting to work…together?
