Excerpt:

"We live in a world which is deeply unsatisfying for most people, a world in which many of our most basic needs - for love, peace, freedom, security, and meaning in life - are not being met. Most of us face constant worry about economic survival, loneliness and isolation, or fear of it, and a constant feeling that there's never enough of anything good to go around, be it love, sex or money.
As well, for many - probably most - people, there's a constant fear of violence. And for even more, there's a feeling of powerlessness. The end result is hopelessness, apathy, and often bitterness, meanness, and, all too often, outright sadism.

Why do these conditions exist? There's no grand conspiracy, but there are a number of reasons for this lousy situation, and it's important to understand what we're dealing with if we're going to change it."

Everything that we see around us is our own doing. We are all accountable to what has become of our society. The harm that I do to one person will definitely have its effect on those around him. And whatever good I do will multiply just the same.

One influential leader may bring catastrophe to a multitude. And if selfish men continue to rule the world, the hope for a better future is doubtful.

Individually, we can bring peace, love, and meaning into the world by starting where we are. If I can make a difference to even just one person, give him some hope and love, then I've started something that will catch fire through the little seed that I've sown. Seeing one happy soul out of ten disgruntled individuals is better than seeing none at all.
