Exploiters vs Nurturers

"THE EXPLOITER WISHES TO EARN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BY AS LITTLE WORK AS POSSIBLE; THE NURTURER EXPECTS, CERTAINLY, TO HAVE A DECENT LIVING FROM HIS WORK, BUT HIS CHARACTERISTIC WISH IS TO WORK AS WELL AS POSSIBLE. THE EXPLOITER TYPICALLY SERVES AN INSTITUTION OR ORGANIZATION; THE NURTURER SERVES LAND, HOUSEHOLD, COMMUNITY, PLACE. THE EXPLOITER THINKS IN TERMS OF NUMBERS, QUANTITIES, 'HARD FACTS'; THE NURTURER IN TERMS OF CHARACTER, CONDITION, QUALITY, AND KIND.”
