This sad story reminds me of this excerpt from the novel Ishmael by Daniel Quinn: “You may compete to the full extent of your capabilities, but you may not hunt down your competitors or destroy their food or deny them access to food. In other words, you may compete but you may not wage war.”

We are waging a war on our brothers and sisters. Our collective humanity deteriorate for each and every soul that we trample upon for the sake of economic progress.

This is so well put. Also waging war part or politics or nepotism in competing, corrupts the spirit of competition and hence the human spirit itself.

It's not even a progress, it is _growth_.
