In this world we live in, no matter whether we look at the real life world we live in or the online virtual world we are in for much of our lives, there is obviously a situation that we can call „economic turmoil“.

There are millions of articles and posts about what all is wrong with this world, why it is so and who all is to blame for it. Some try to regurgitate old ideas that have failed in the past, some try to pack them up into new modern day packaging, yet it’s the same old thing deep inside. Some try to present their ideas as being new or unique, yet their mindset is that of a totalitarian regime, where it’s “their way or the highway”.

The more we get into it, the more it seems like we are flies trapped in an entangled spider web, the more we try to figure things out and find a way out using the mindset that has been programmed by our societies set ways, the more we fall into the trap of doing exactly what the modern day regimes want us to do. All the regimes, from the commercial economic regimes to those that judge us without any rights such as the regime of “political correctness”.
The only conclusion that we come to in this quest for freedom is that there is no freedom, that there is no way out of this web of complexities.

However, when we look at reality, cold hard reality, the truth of the matter, there is absolutely nothing complicated about the fact that some families out there do not have food on the table, that some families can not afford doctor bills, that some people in some countries get arrested or killed if they express their personal opinions, let alone protest.
So what is the solution?
It is simple, it is caring for one another!

We have all heard the saying “Sharing is caring”, well it is, that is how simple it gets!
We all hold a little part of the solution. We can share what we can, that little bit that we would normally spend somewhere else and give it to someone who needs it.
We can all give something from ourselves, without expecting anything in return.
We can all unite into groups and as such organize ourselves to help one another, not to make riches, fortunes or to get fame, but simply to help out as teams of people who wish well upon others.
Is this so hard to imagine?
Has greed overcome the good in people?

Can we organize ourselves into communities that help one another without the “greed” factor?
Sharing is something that can be learned from a very young age, human beings have evolved from the primitive hunters, then tribal days. We now do have a sense of awareness, a sense of morals, a sense of understanding. We have the ability to learn about things that less than a few decades ago was considered to be science fiction. Yet, with all the information and access to information, we are still distracted from the key element that distinguishes humans from the animals that live to eat and practically nothing else. The ability to care, share, unite, understand, the ability to help each other out as equals, as humans.
I can understand that success is something that is worshiped by many, from a very young age, nothing wrong with promoting success and achievements. However, if this becomes a foundation to worshiping greed then we are heading into a direction that leads to a very ugly ending. Greed can never result in good, it may seem good to an individual with little to no morals, but at the end of the day, that person probably fears what may lay behind them and in front of them, no matter where they go.

Humans have lived together for centuries, sharing common good, making common wealth for one and all. Humans are not robots and no matter how some individuals may lean towards “greed” they can be reminded of the fact that they are just one of us, a person, no more and no less than just another human on this earth.
Sharing knowledge and using the wealth knowledge has brought about to create a common sense of responsibility is probably the best way to go.
Not to be related to any of the economic or political ideologies that we have ever seen to date, as this idea of caring and sharing is something that is seen in every single little child out there, where children express their emotions so freely, so honestly, without the greed we implant into them.

We were all there, it is natural, it is what every one of us was when we were little children, prior to the notions implanted by our parents, prior to becoming aware that in this world “greed” is a common occurrence and something that we all “need to have” to a certain degree.
WHY?
Why do we have to be greedy?
Why can’t we just work as hard as we can to make life better for us and then when we understand that we have enough to be comfortable, safe, without the fears of having too little or having too much, just work to ensure that others too can learn how to make it in this world. To help out and give others an opportunity to become independent, not with “handouts” of cash, but with support and training. When necessary to invest in the tools that may help them build a secure life for themselves. All of this takes time and money.

Am I just a hopeless romantic?
Could be, I don’t deny it, my dreams and ideals have come to life and have been crushed by those who deliberately did things because they just couldn’t care less for anyone. So I have been burned, many a time, in fact from some people that I never expected it from.
What I have learned from this is that all the material damages that I had to cover in life were just material things! I still have the know how and experience to make it all over again. Not a nice feeling having to do things over and over again, but unlike in the past where I was gullible, I now understand that when giving, when sharing, I shouldn’t do handouts, what I should do is share the wealth, make it common wealth, a wealth of knowledge and not cold hard cash!
So, I go back to the initial thought of “Sharing is caring” and can this be implanted into the modern day world we live in?
Maybe not on a global scale, but we sure can unite into communities where the goals are common wealth and not extortion, bribery/kick backs, hustling, loan sharks, bankers etc etc etc etc,.
THINK ABOUT IT!
