Insurance companies, medical businesses, and other industries generate and spread unfounded fear to promote their products and services. This fear-mongering has led people to avoid naturally occurring products like ghee, coconut oil, and salt in favor of alternative products, fueling business growth. However, exploiting public fear for financial gain undermines well-being and leads to widespread dissatisfaction, illness, and societal decay. Cultivating spiritual wisdom in decision-making may be needed for individual and global welfare.
