The customer is king, but is he God?
Many times we find innocent souls forced to beg on the streets or see how homeless people are turned away when they enter a restaurant in a privileged location. We can also see in many businesses that have signs that say “The customer is king”, etc. The same restaurant that kicks out a bum because he walks in welcomes those with money in their pockets and gives them a comfortable place to sit and eat, etc.,
What have we done with our Natural environment? No other life on Earth behaves towards each other in this way, or perhaps we don’t know if they do. The very fact that our planet’s natural resources are not available to many people in general is alarming. It is very disturbing to see the use of the word “Customer” everywhere. Many conveniences/payment options/credits, etc., are provided by companies/banks, etc., for Clients, none to the status of being born on our planet as humans. A great Tamil saint once sang: “To be born human is most venerable; the most horrible thing in the world is to be born poor, and even more horrible is poverty during youth.”
The other aspect of our lives is our work. Creativity in general is being completely ignored. One may find that management personnel in organizations act in an arrogant manner knowing full well how powerful they are within the organization. Management in organizations makes biased decisions that favor themselves, these come to the benefit of knowledge workers or the people who make things happen.
Unfortunately, the buzzwords used everywhere are politics/customer/business/money/capital, etc., instead of humanity/well-being of all, etc.
Human creativity is the reason why we can travel in cars, airplanes, send messages that are instantly transmitted to each other electronically, etc. make these technologies. The owners and other management staff are mostly insensitive, not actively interested in learning about the processes and methods or the theory behind how such innovations work or not actively participating in the development of such innovations.
It’s all done by knowledge workers, but unfortunately, we see them being laid off in the workplace to make way for arrogance and politics that dominate humanity and creativity.
Either in the case that a homeless person is turned away in a restaurant or if the homeless person was born as a homeless stray animal, in which case they could have eaten food that is freely found on the planet, or if it is the case Instead of rewarding people with vested political and commercial interests rather than recognizing innovators or knowledge workers who help take human creativity to the next level, one thing is for sure. We need to bring humanity back to humans, not customers and others with political interests…
