Learnings from a pandemic

Currently the world is going through a pandemic, the worst of its kind since WWII. Millions have died and more lives are at stake. We have been playing too long chasing commercial profits for too long that we forgot to strengthen institutions values, practices,  for basic human care and survival. Even in this pandemic, many institutions are arguing against making payment of wages to people who work for those institutions at low rungs who need that money for survival. Institutions still haven't learnt the value of people , need to take care of them in these times, instead of hoarding cash as profits in reserves or for more investment in business for profits later. Even Learning institutions where such sensibilities are expected to prevail fail in taking right decisions in such instances. This highlights the total failure of business organisations to correlate its vision to an ethical context of community well being. Promoting such businesses , nurturing leaders for success of such businesses are counter productive to humanity in the basic sense. Schools of thought coming from educational institutions , whatever may their world standing, based on the learnings of such business organisations, is like a cancer, fuelling further negativism in society.
