If humanity is genuinely to pursue the path of peace then we have to change the way we do business. There is always some room for moderate profit but the purpose of business and the motivation of those involved in business has to arise from a mind of caring, sharing and sustainability.
Such motivation cannot be imposed by government, it has to emerge from within each and every person and it has to be an integral part of social and political culture. The seeds of greed, consumerism and materialism are there in every human mind. In order to establish peace in the world we have to start by making peace within ourselves. A greedy mind cannot be a peaceful mind. A peaceful mind is a mind of contentment and fulfillment.
