Money and the corporate balance sheet

"When money is the sole determinant of value,
then human life is worth nothing." - Zobo the Clown


Where in any economic assessment balance sheet of the "costs and benefits" of doing business are there any considerations for the value of:  1. truth,  2. love,  3. happiness,  4. ecology,  5. mental health,  6. community benefit, or  7. world peace?

These are not on any balance sheet because they do not really exist.  The ONLY value that has any real merit in a profit driven society is money.  Human life is worth nothing.  YOU, yourself, are only "worth" your hourly wage and your economic assets.  YOU, yourself, have no other value because there is no other way available (that even exists as a concept) to measure or quantify value EXCEPT as money.

You yourself are worth nothing.  Only the money you possess has value.  Just ask the homeless in our society today -- they'll tell you.  They are worth nothing to nobody -- and  so are you.

Welcome to the future.
