Where is the spirit of humanity? Where is the concern? What other experts are there? 

How can we protest against capitalism? What tools do we have?

We can organize small groups then discuss all the threats we are facing. We can do the research. Write letters to the editor, write blogs, write to those who are in government and business. We are close but not yet an authoritarian state. We can share our intelligence, experience and thoughts together.

We can use whatever gifts we have. And don't give up. Don't always compare what you have with the powers shown elsewhere.

The desire to preserve the world for good people is the best reason for living.

Be also caretakers of yourself. Eat and sleep when you need to. Seek friendship among those who have befriended you. Write lists of people who are honest and nurturing. Avoid contests. Pouring your thoughts and ideas into a contest doesn't honour your gifts and wisdom. Thousands of writers send their work to writers contests. All that work goes to a place where its read by someone who had to choose the winner.

What happens to the work that is not chosen? Who will read and learn from it?
