Priorities

I was deeply moved by the needless pain and the suffering. I was disgusted by the unjustified greed. 

In today's NY Times "The Daily" podcast there is a story of people suffering from the Monkeypox virus and how, through greed and cruelty, they were denied treatment for weeks and months.

When a society values money and profits above the well-being of its members, such society must be examined carefully and thoroughly, and its priorities must be changed. Nothing justifies inflicting horrendous suffering when the treatment is available.

Perhaps we should all adopt a philosophy of "Do no harm."

I hope you listen to the show.

I hope, sooner rather than later, we can demonstrate that we care more about people than about money.
