What if man’s most beautiful challenge was to turn his economic steps into paths of spirituality? …
What if the fruit of labour in itself, in its economy, was becoming long-lasting and sustainable, ethical, because it was spiritual? Not as a development to be reached, as an objective or as a result, measurable by some indexes or indicators well thought out beforehand. But, instead, as a journey, to be lived as a migration from oneself to oneself, through an open economy.
The economy would then become a relation, an encounter, the heart of the otherness. The economy is simply a "being with", the fruit of which is good, because it is spiritually profitable to a market(s) economy; what’s at stake is no longer the profit to be generated or obtained, but the profit is inside of us.
Therefore, the value granted in our societies to the welcoming of a so-called forced migration, because it is passively experienced, because it represents a break in a singular or particular story, can become, through the simple fact (right) of being listened to and appreciated, an economic ingredient, because it is spiritual. Hospitality becomes simply "profitable".
The "philanthropic" spirit of some then profits from the migration of others, and in this way, it is already an economic act.
A society which would include work or capital in an economy marked with spirituality, making the migrating man host of himself, can only live on its shared resources.
Our challenge could be summed up in the following way: migration and spirituality, two realities of today, to serve our economic present, in this sense, they are "profitable" for generations to come.
