Ethics & 21st Century:
POVERTY may not be a personal disqualification but is surly the greatest human Crime.
To spend trillions or billions for defence strategy is a Global/National crime so long even a few hundred die, anywhere on the surface of the Globe.
I believe, human -animality is much worse than `killing habits of animals. They have no choice but we, humans. - had ! It also means, human beings have not progressed much on the scale of Evolution while, abusing their expanding consciousness/awareness !
As Sri aurobindo said : if a man is left poor, he has every right to rob your wealth .Every thing in this universe belongs to every one.
You try your clever way to exploit others to be rich and the exploited ones have also their genetic-right to rob you for their biological and social/economic survival.
Human beings are only a very,very fractional part of livng Universe. This world does not belong to us, human alone but to all, I assert, all beings. `You are nobody to decide everybody`s fate!
