Arhipelag GULAG
Perhaps many of people are thinking that Arhipelag GULAG by Al. Solzenitchyn is a book about the Russia (or Soviet Union) in 30-50-tees.
However, I have found this book as a philosophical book in a way. The philosophy in here is about Good and Evil and these issues are irrelevant to the time and place. The Russia in this case is coming as a country-sample where these powers of Good and Evil (unfortunately mainly of Evil) were affecting people’s lives.
¹" Who is an evildoer? What is this? Is there anything like that in the World? For us it would be closer to answer that they are not existing...
The great world literature is blowing and blowing thickly-black characters of the evildoers- Shakespeare, and Schiller, and Dickens- for us they look partly farce, embarrassing for the modern perception..." ²
Now, lets have as sample a corporation world in nowadays and a process of the decision making in it.
Is decision making based on the human factor or direction of the business?
Is making his choice manager following needs of the people or corporate policy?
Is CEO of a company seeing alive people or just numbers at the balance sheet?
Honestly answering on the questions above we should better understand WHY prosperously looking corporations are collapsing and WHY there is no stability in the globally established business.
However, please remember ¹"... there is also a threshold for the evil deed. Yes, human-being is hesitating, rushing from evil to good, slipping off, go wrong, clambering up, regretting, again going darken, but until he crossed the threshold of the evil deed - he has a chance to come back, and he himself is still in the volume of our hope. However when the thickness of the evil acts or certain degree of them he suddenly would cross the threshold-he is gone from the mankind. And perhaps - without return."²
