Corporations are capable of 'living' for hundreds
of years and some achieve this. {They have
winter periods and spring renewals, like the
seasons.} However, most corporations, even large
ones, have existences shorter than the lives of individual
people.
Most people have lives shorter than their genetic potential,
often because corporations that are capable of creating
wealth and governing well do not do so. When
organizations drift and fail to achieve their purpose,
individual suffering is the inevitable result. There is a
shortage of corporate redemption and rebirth, but some
individuals thrive anyway.
I once had a great-aunt with perfect health and vigor. A
jolly, loving person, she died in her sleep at 96 years of
age. To some extent she was just lucky. If more individuals
are to have a life like hers, we need universal
respect and excellent laws, wiser government and more
prosperous business.
