David Cameron suggests the wisdom of yesteryear can be brought to fruition through modern technological tools.
“The gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education, or the joy of their play; it does not include the beauty of our poetry of the strength [...]
In no particular order I list some quotes that have relevance to the intentions of Kahatika.
“For it is in giving that we receive.” ~ St. Francis of Assisi
“All communication must lead to change” ~ Aristotle
“When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.” ~ Jimi Hendrix
“Integrity is the essence [...]
Is it possible to distill your message down to something that resonates universally?
or is it only possible to continually adapt your message in such a way as to it resonates within a smaller and smaller segmentation of the population?
My interpretation of this top down vs bottom up conundrum is that you try to do both. [...]
Sherwin Nuland speaks of hope and the indomitable “Human Spirit”. About half way through he makes the statement “The world will not be saved by the internet, it will be saved by the human spirit”. This is as true now as the day the first humans learned to draw, the printing press was invented, and [...]
It’s an interesting time of year to observe human behaviour. All the monotheistic religions are having or recently have had a major event in their calendar. That seems to put a perceivable buzz in the air that effects us all, regardless of whether we have a faith or not. It manifests in lots of ways, [...]

Surely as a society it would be great to have confidence that our most powerful change agents are doing what they do for admirable reasons?
According to a new study by Badenoch [...]
I seem to concerned about Love but what is my concern for Money?
Ahh! I see, you’re a conspiracy theory nut blaming the banking industry and big business for the woes of the world!
Not at all, just trying to reveal just how controlling the money system is, and how that impacts on our ability to exhibit [...]
“The world would be saved if we could just love one another.”
An airy fairy statement used by hippies and dreamers?
No matter how true the statement may be, it is hardly a pragmatic plan of attack to “Save the World”.
Defining love is difficult in many ways. It’s association with sexual intimacy, and it’s broad context of [...]
If the role of business is to identify an others pain and offer a cost effective solutions to that pain, one would suspect compassion would have a major role in business.
Should more businesses be embedding, or at least deriving inspiration from a Charter for Compassion when formulating the company mission and standard operating procedures?
Does the [...]
