Extending the economy of heart from families to a universal level requires that people within one country, and then the world, regard all other people as their family members, centered on the ethic of God-centered unselfish love. The heart of love that regards all people as one's own family completely changes a person's attitude and actions regarding money and economy. It's an attitude that has very real impact and one that can be initiated without waiting for others to adopt it. The economy of heart will be built by each person, on an incremental, day by day basis. Since the economy of heart is based entirely on the precept that each person is indeed a beloved member of my family, our financial actions in relationship to each person will pursue the multiplication of true love rather than profit.
Competition is wrong if it causes our extended family members harm.
Opening a Super Store next to a mom and pop owned by my own family member whom I love is an action that should be heartistically impossible. In fact, many people today would hesitate to destroy a business owned by someone they loved. We step back from the reality of the other person, hold our nose, squeeze our eyes tight shut and proceed to devastate our competitor in the war of business. Creating the economy of heart can be begun by changing the purpose and standard of each transaction. Although we may be financially damaged in the short run, our willingness to risk and adopt a new economic paradigm will create tremendous social benefit.
