incentives

 

I think it's kind of sad that most incentives in this world seem to be monetary.

Big pharmaceutical companies have no incentive to produce drugs if they can't make a lot of money from them.

I wonder how important those drugs would seem to them if their children needed them to live, or to have better quality lives?

Doing good things just because they improve our world is still rare enough that it makes headline news when wealthy people use their wealth for someone other than themselves. It's not like these people are making great sacrifices, but they are doing good things. I appreciate this. There should be more of it.

I know many people who are middle class or lower in income who make real sacrifices in order to make the world a better place, but we seldom hear about any of them.

Here's to the people whose love of humanity is their only real incentive.
