No, things are definitely more complex than that, after all the majority of
society is taken up in trying to ensure the best value for money. Everybody
would not sell their grandma, and yet many may well sell their grandma's
favourite dress if they did not perceive any distress, or for some, personal
detrimental outcome.
As most DP practitioners will be aware from experience there does seem to be
a link with the perceived distance from any perceived or immediate affect
caused to the individual's environment. That disjuncture between decision
and responsibility for outcomes may be how the dangers and greatest damage
are facilitated. But we move more into a types of pragmatic decision
making, and out of immediate DP issues going in that direction.
