Gleaning is a practice to get what you need, and leave the rest for the less fortunate. Farmers make one pass through the field, gathering the harvest and are commended not to go back, so that the poor can pick up what’s left on the field, and the edges. This is part of the joy of work, and also distribution of wealth.
What’s gleaning like for today’s world? Few of my thoughts:
- Don’t try to do everything and be everything in the market. Focus on what you do best, and leave work for other players, and contract out work.
- Create systems and create jobs in various levels, so that you are creating productive work, giving people the dignity to work, and stimulate economy at all levels of expertise.
- Intern programs, volunteering and donation to help the local communities.
What do you do?
