There was once a group of proud men that between them owned a vast number of businesses and corporations that spanned across all the world.

They had become greedy and careless and in their selfish needs to improve their wealth and status, they had realised that their businesses were drawing more and more attention to the pollution and toxicity and corruption they were creating within the communities they were operating within.

So they called a meeting, and in that meeting they came up with a plan that would move the attention away from themselves and onto the very consumers and customers that bought their products and used their services. They put together a campaign that raised and highlighted the very environmental issues and problems that their combined businesses had been causing, but instead find a way to place the blame upon the consumers.

“If the demands upon us weren’t so great”, they protested, “we could move towards producing more economic and sustainable goods and services which would help the planet from becoming corrupted and polluted”.

So they introduced methods of raising vast amounts of money through newly designed products that promoted their aims and increased their revenues. They founded new tax free Charities and Foundations that drew attention to specific targeted areas and commissioned scientists to give purposeful reasons as to the causes of the problems. They lobbied to create taxes and tariffs that would increase the values of the existing products and services that they continued to provide. They promoted specific spokespersons whose paid roles would be raise opposition, highlight and raise issues by naming the causes and effects through scripts and dialogues carefully composed by the companies themselves.

Nothing had changed, the problems remained, but now the attention had been diverted away from their companies and they continued to thrive and grow wealthy from the misfortunes and miseries that they continued to create in the world of Others.

Morale: Do not listen to the advice of those who would seek to lower you to the levels that they have found themselves within. Who gains most from the advice that is given?
