Profit.

It feels as though all that matters to most people is the amount of money they get for or from something.
I have a deeply unpleasant situation to deal with at the moment, and that is what has triggered these thoughts. In this 'situation' the profit of a large company is being set firmly ahead of the cultural history and tradition of real people, and it sickens me. I shall plough on, but I doubt I will win.
In other news, the wee sausage (smaller of our two sibling dogs) has some relatively rare thingy
(Imerslund-Gräsbeck syndrome) wrong with her, and requires to be jabbed with a syringe of Vit B12 at regular intervals, possibly for life. However, the impact of this vitamin is stunning - our gentle wee dog is gaining weight and being a right little minx!
She is also on heat so being extra feisty of course.

And you see, this is so much more important than money. This is a life, a creature entirely reliant on us humans to keep her healthy and happy.
If only more people would think about lives and less about bank balances . . .
