When we write a check to charity instead of looking the needy in the eye, we have helped their physical needs but shortchanged their humanity. When we demand that our workers engage in a race to the bottom with any country willing to work faster and more robotically, we take something away from the people we work with. And when we shrug and invoke Ayn Rand or the invisible hand of the market, we are trading our humanity for some extra stuff in the garage or a bigger addition to our house.
