A survey conducted by Harris Interactive found that 41% of people who leave a job, do so because of a lack of opportunity to grow.
The Capitalist system is dedicated to Supply and Demand and the Status Quo, not to the development of human potential.
It is a system which would much rather have robots in place of human beings, where constantly predictable numbers could be ceaselessly computed with total accuracy.
No surprises. No uncertainties.
And completely not-human.
“Human beings need food and shelter to survive, and purpose to thrive.”
It could be argued that it is not a society's responsibility to insure that people are having fulfilling lives.
That it is an individual's own problem, to be solved alone.
I disagree. When someone is dissatisfied with their societal role, it is everyone's problem and responsibility.
Not insuring that an individual is realizing their full capacity is depriving that person and the rest of humanity of their untapped potential to contribute and enhance the species.
Unfulfilled people are not productive people. Why should they be? Human beings are not robots. Human beings have human feelings. Feeling unsatisfied and empty inside deprives one of the desire to strive.
The Capitalist Approach is to increase pressure on people. To entice people with more money. It appeals to the crudest part of human nature, and in the process strips people's souls.
The Humanist Approach is for humanity to dedicate itself to insuring that every unique individual finds their special path, their special way of contributing to their people. Doing so insures that they will be fulfilled and infinitely more productive.
This is the next systemic step after Capitalism.
It requires a paradigm shift. Emphasis on Human Feelings being absolutely essential to Human Health.
