Fear.

                                                  

Because fear is at the root of the greed which drives our corporate masters any threat that triggers their fears will result in violence.

As Jesus discovered.

All violence is driven by fear.

So merely threatening to remove people from power will only result in violence.

We must look beneath the surface, beneath the tough-guy exterior, to find the fear, probably from childhood, which drives their greed.

I have an aunt who grew up during the Great Depression.
She has millions of dollars but says she never feels that she has enough.

This is the fear that drives corporate greed.

It is thinly disguised as working for the shareholders.

So pray for our corporate masters to overcome their fear and provide for the community as God provides.
