If it is a world in which the laws of kharma apply, the form you take as a sentient being based upon your attitude, where does the corporation fit in, in that a corporation tends to feel (and operate) perfectly free from such constraints, as it is all 'just a matter of business.'

Corporations, of course, take different forms, vast, diffuse, organized around an unbending principal, like an actor stuck in one role, which its humanity, that of its individual members, cannot easily overcome. The Mill-uh-tuhry corporation would believe that killing people subdues the bad guys, wins you friends in ideology. Big Oil creates jobs, makes profits, needs tax breaks, does what it pleases. The individual, employed, sees no great harm in any of it.

What can the human being do in a time of such vast impenetrable speechless giants? Where are good acts left to go?
