" I believe that to meet the challenges of our times, human beings will have to develop a greater sense of universal responsibility. Each of us must learn to work not just for oneself, one's own family or nation, but for the benefit of all humankind. Universal responsibility is the key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace." Dalai Lama
My sentiments exactly! I copied this quote from a new friend in "Facebook." In this globalized environment, I think it is time for all of us to reflect on our responsibilities as human beings and citizens of the world and do something about it.
This sentiment came to me very early in life. I attended a funeral for a soldier killed in the Korean War. One of the speakers said that "this man did not die a "Filipino hero", he died a "world hero" fighting with the United Nations forces in Korea to benefit all "mankind."
