The basis of moral principles is to have a real concern for the well-being of others and an appreciation of the oneness of humanity. Whether science or religion is constructive or destructive depends on our motivation and whether we are guided by moral principles.
If the education system fostered inner peace, compassion and non-violence, or the idea of doing no harm, students would learn how to achieve peace of mind. This is what is required if we are to fulfil the goal of a genuinely peaceful and demilitarized world.

This is me and my kids in 2019, 3 days before I was diagnosed with ALS.
Today, I can’t walk. My arms / hands are almost paralyzed. A feeding tube hangs out of my stomach. I can barely speak.
Every year 1,000 Canadian families start this same journey. We need to #EndALS.
@GregGowe Thank you for sharing your story. ALS is a cruel disease and absolutely needs to be better understood, treated & prevented. I pray for your strength and comfort, during these difficult days.
The direction of our lives needs to be positive. We weren’t born to cause trouble or do harm to others. For our life to be of value, I think we must develop good human qualities – warmth, kindness, compassion. Then our life will become meaningful and more peaceful – happier.
One week after protests outside VGH, hospital workers are being greeted by a much different message today. Two seven-foot floral hearts with messages of support have been installed at the entrance to express gratitude for the hard work and dedication of health care workers.
OK, Twitter, it's time we let you know that we're putting on a small, by donation outdoors version of our annual alt-squeezebox fest this Saturday, September 11th, featuring Ana Bon-Bon and the Hot Water Quintet at Strathcona's Maclean Park! Details at https://t.co/KmYnsTwpcI
We all have a responsibility to educate our human brothers and sisters. Inner values are the ultimate source of happiness, not money and weapons, whether you’re talking about individuals or the whole of humanity.
