Are We Becoming Less Compassionate, Less Fully Human?
How Might We Return To What We May Be?
“Lord, we know what we are, but know not what we may be” - William Shakespeare (The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. Act IV, Scene V)
THESIS
We need to reclaim a compassionate worldview and practice that embraces the interconnectivity and interdependence of individuals, communities, nature and the cosmos.
A worldview that encompasses awareness, understanding, reaching out with unconditional acceptance and non-violent communication; that leads to positive emotional contagion, and fuels a growing readiness to serve and heal wherever there is opportunity.
