CEOs Killed

I am looking at the headlines
1.CEO in U.S killed
2.CEO in India killed
3.Tata plant in West Bengal dropped.
4.Naxalite activity on the increase.
5.Call center employees killed/robbed.

Is there a pattern to the above news items. I can see something, I sincerely hope I am imagining it. This seems to a results of growing gap between the rich and poor.

In olden days money was not flaunted as it is today. When a poor person walks on the street he can see money flowing as clothes,mobiles,cars. Think of a poor middle class man walking through a mall with his family and can't spend anything but see people around just throwing money. There is a frustration building up inside him. My cab driver remarked a few days back "What will I do if all the software people increase prices so much?". There is an anger in the normal society against software or the new age industries (BPO/finance) which give great salaries.

I can see the anger against the raising prices not directed toward the economy but a group of society which is a sense responsible for this meteoric rise in prices.I think the new UPPER MIDDLE CLASS is the main culprit.

Few things happening for a middle/poor class in cities in India
1. They cannot practically live in the city. They have to travel at least 2 hours daily. Every minute of their travel they are getting angrier. Gosh I shudder to think how angry they will get with every passing day.
2.They cannot give their children basic education as all education costs have gone through the roof. Schools ask for both educated parents ( read parent willing to spend money freely ). The children grow up with anger.

There is so much anger brewing under the surface. I really worry how the society will be 10 years in future. Think of some form of Russian/French revolution where the poor raise as their basic existence itself comes under threat.

I think the middle class needs to become more aware of this situation and behave responsibly. I am not asking all to donate their wealth to the needy and become philanthropists.

A few things that come to my mind.
1.Don't throw money just because you have it.
2.Treat others especially poor with utmost RESPECT and CARE.
3.Try to lead a subdued life.
4.Avoid flaunting money. ( Imagine a wedding in an airplane, when poor cant even afford marriages in a temple).
5.Try to find ways to give employment. Don't haggle with you the labour class too much , just treat it as an opportunity to share your wealth.
6.Spend time talking to them understand that the wealth gotten is not easy money but hard earned. We feel why should I explain to some labour/domestic help about how I earned my money. I feel this to take upon a social responsibility of educating the poor that money is made not by luck but hard work.

Bottom line.

GIVE RESPECT FOR THE FOLLOWING
1.People around you.
2.Money that you earn and spend.
3.Feelings expressed by people working for you. Please note whether these feelings are right or wrong is irrelevant. They have to respected.

WE SHOULD LEARN TO RESPECT EVERYTHING AROUND US.

As a last the one aspect we respect least today is environment. I am sure it is going to hit us back. I had a wild thought that Tsunami was of nature expressing its anger.
