Capitalism

Certain people give good words bad names



Capitalism in its simplest form means to capitalize on an opportunity. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with capitalism because we capitalize on our skills, every day. What gives capitalism a bad name is the opportunities people choose to capitalize off.

Example of negative capitalism: A man is the only one who knows where there’s an endless supply of freshwater, in a town where water is seemingly scarce. Instead of sharing what he knows with his fellow neighbors, he decides to capitalize on his knowledge, as well as the opportunity, by selling the water for an outrageous price. For one, he realizes that the water is a necessity, and two, for said necessity he understands that the people will pay his price.


Negative capitalism is usually fueled by greed, which is the ultimate form of selfishness. Selfishness corrupts, and corruption destroys any chance of something good being established.


Now, I want to offer an example of positive capitalism: I write offerings designed to offer different perspectives, with the intent of helping others to help themselves. If my objective is made manifest then I may be deemed an asset, while possibly gaining an asset in the process. Fair exchange has never been regarded as a robbery. When both parties can walk away mutually pleased, this is known as proper human etiquette. The business was conducted as it should be, and a blueprint was created for future endeavors. Capitalism is capitalizing on our skills, knowledge, and opportunities in a manner that doesn’t disrupt the well-being of others.


Momentary thinkers will never see the bigger picture because the future isn’t apart of their present time, so their moves will always be mainly about themselves. But then there are those who understand that the moment is just a part of the process, so their moves will always be inspired by the greater good.

Yes! And the law of the land generally says whoever discovered it first has ownership. Good article and POV.

Thank you for your donation of time and attention.

The laws of man are only relevant because we don't collectively challenge them. I don't know of any human having created the Earth. So with this being the case, how can anyone stake a claim on something they didn't create? We the people have the power to stop anything but it has to be done collectively and at the very start. To many of us have that "it is what it is" mentality. I digress.

May your success continue to exceed your highest expectations.

It never ceases to amaze me how the powers that be continue to create means to control us. The greatest means to control people is through definitions and phrases. Definitions and phrases are nothing more than opinions made popular by the masses. So, like with any other opinion we can accept or reject phrases or opinions if they don't align with our agenda. I redefine words via acronyms and phrases I disagree with I simply ignore. It's time we stop taking information at face value. Dive deep and discover what they never intended for us to find, which is the truth.
