A purpose higher than the individual

"My belief is that the key ideological struggle of the 21st century will be to bring a conscience to capitalism. ...

Abeer, who keeps his flame alive, slogging it out in a remote village against many odds, and reading Murakami in his small room, while elephants go rampaging outside :)
