If you are aware of what is going on, then you can see problems as they unfold, and you can help prevent many of them. When things explode, it is too late. __How we deal with our daily lives is the most important question.__ How we deal with our feelings, our speaking, with ordinary things every day is just meditation. We must learn to apply meditation in our daily lives.
Being Peace
Thich Nhat Hanh
corporations, at least publicly traded ones, exist for the primary purpose of incentivizing investment in industrial enterprise. They do that, in part, by legally guaranteeing investors that their interests will always be prioritized. That guarantee is essential. Without it, investors wouldn’t invest, and capitalism would collapse. Which means that even when corporations are required by their mandates to consider social and environmental interests, they’ll only do so in ways that align with their fundamental missions to make money for investors. Regardless of tweaks to their legal structures and institutional natures, they cannot abandon that mission.
