HOARD THE FORTUNE.

       Our daily activities revolves around survival, strive for success & luxury and different ambitions.  Everyday is another opportunity for us to get closer to achieving our dreams and desire whether they are resourceful or destructive, greedy or selfless, socially accepted or illegal. As strange as it may seem, our dreams are achieved by direct or indirect intervention of others which could be in form of exploration or mutualism.
          No one succeeds by their actions but this may be debatable because we believe we put in all the work and that's why we succeeded. Without people acknowledging our "hard work " , patronising and recommending them for implementation, production and consumption,  we can not achieve the success we desire. Whether it is an idea, plan or product, we need other people to see the benefit of it and want to use it or pay for it.
        The term exploitation only comes to play when we feel cheated but we see people exerting more energy and resources for us as being smart and wise. Goals and actions are driven towards achieving wealth, fame, recognition and sense of accomplishment . We may not mind doubling the price of our commodity and services when we see the demand for it is growing but will get furious when we feel someone is trying to make us pay exorbitant fees for a  service that don't cost us as much. It is business when we are getting cheap labour and high income but exploitation when we have to pay for a service that shouldn't cost more.
        Taking advantage of people's ignorance, social status and transparency for our gains isn't uncommon. The desire for power and wealth is sometimes overwhelming that naive people are seen as opportunity to amass wealth. Our humanity withers away at the thought of being at the peak of the social heriachy but we forget we need each other for our plan whether beneficial or disruptive to succeed.
        We fell trees without replacing them forgetting we their shade , end product, oxygen and protection against harsh winds. We promote discrimination and genocide of other people forgetting that despite their diverse religion, skin pigmentation and beliefs, they have a role to play in our development ,peace and success .we hunt down wild animals for sport forgetting they are part of the ecosystem that sustains us.
        The cost of a product or service depends on the business owners, regulatory board and demand for it. Violating other's Human Rights for our gain is where we need to draw  the line. Employing cheap labor with long hours of hard work for stipends in an organisation that earn millions is repulsive by some people's standard and being a good business person by some other people's standards. What is right and wrong is an endless hassle with our interest as priority.
      Humanitarian acts also involves people giving out of the excess or little we have which may be convenient or depriving. There are people who still find a business opportunity in selling the supplies and relief materials given to people in needs. Exploitation have varying perspective depending on our principles, beliefs, culture and social status.
             Whatever our products or ideas ars we should always reevaluate the effect on well-being of others, peace, human rights,social development and our well being too. We may exploit others directly or indirectly because we need people to appreciate our efforts, implement them as necessary, gain wealth and societal recognition.
      Using beliefs, culture, laws and religion as a guide to draw the line between survival and exploitation seems to be the only which is still inconsistent. What is exploitation to you?
