This is an incredibly timely article for myself. And Steve, this series of articles has been a major catalyst in my decision to hand in my resignation this week. I work for an managed services company in Australia, and directly support the operation of a major alcoholic beverages company. When I considered the implications of supporting the operations of a company that contributes to great harm in society, I could not in good conscience continue.
The challenge now is working out where to move on to. I have always put the emphasis on physical values, but with the challenge of living consciously I can no longer do so. It is so true what Steve wrote: "Staying in this situation can be morally and emotionally draining." I have been feeling this way for far too long.
