On the one hand people are going hungry because of demonetisation. On the other hand people are throwing food on the road and making it inedible. I don't agree with demonetisation myself, but is this the way to deal with a crisis? Can we not come to each other's aid in this time of need?

Is monetary value the only value we assign to things any more? If I have something that is of value to others, but of no value to me, should I throw it in the trash or give it to people who need it?

Ah well. It's not like I haven't thrown perfectly edible food in the trash before.
