Free-Loaders Pt1

You could say that by definition Society requires that we each individually contribute into it, to keep it meaningful, relevant and so pertinent that we would be at a loss without it. Not quite the Society you know and move in?

We are all so busy, busy building our careers, busy networking with all those contacts we encounter or so busy just keeping the family together under a roof. There is no time for any other commitments, not even to the foundations that we each stand on together, the basalt rock, the core that binds us and makes possible all the superstructures of Society we just take for granted to be there to support and help us when we have the need. Fortunately there are people who make gigantic contributions into their Society well beyond any return to them. Great we can just slide along, take what we need when we need it and there is always someone out there putting it about. Upto a point. When the freeloaders much exceed those contributing, suddenly those contributing realise the gross inequalities and stop and become freeloaders themselves. Its a tipping scale issue not a matter of tapping into a new generation of zealots.

Before concluding this post on free-loaders, I need first to make a detour.

To be continued.
