Change is an inevitable facet of the drama of life’s shifting. So too is the hope and desire for improvement , growth and progress. Many individuals and organisations at different levels have long been concerned with the betterment of the human condition.However, the approaches and actions taken have often been separate, fragmented and sectoral and so lacking in a spirit of mutual support and cooperation. An integrated across-the-board approach to development is now the only way forward. As the common element in all these endeavours is humanity, and the ultimate aim is improvement in human well-being, increased emphasis on the human person is to be welcomed.
The principle of the worth of the individual is an absolute that cannot be diluted when applied to any of the individual facets or dimensions of life. Lit it be social, political, economic or given other, together make up its totality. It is as though attention given so far has been focused on nurturing individual leaves of a tree – usually to the exculsion of other leaves – whereas, to care for the seed would be to care for any the core of all leaves.
The leaves constitute the diverse panorama of human life, endeavour and
achievements, extended through many different cultures and disciplines forms by
centuries of growth, whereas, the seed represents the human soul and it is to
words this that we must now direct our attention.
The dire and inhuman conditions which are now affecting so many men, women and children demand of the majority of humanity a renaissance of human, moral and spiritual values and principles to have any real change in attitudes and behaviour is to be achieved.
For those already committed to social and rain
endeavours, the greater awareness in consciousness regarding the means and
method of achieving long and cherished objectives has now led them to the
threshold of an approach in which the human spirit occupies the centre-stage.
The spirit is the core of our being and universal spiritual values must be at the core of human and social development. Social development can only ever take place as a consequence of inner development. Attitudes have already shifted away from ideology and towards a more pragmatic, inculsive and accepting approach but our perceptions of humanity and the world around us must allow us to understand and grasp deeper spiritual aspects of world events if we are to make the right choices.
We know what we want to do, we can see what we need to do but have we yet understood how to do it? Old notions and methods of working need to be altered or replaced with new methods. Our success will depend upon identifying and articulating different and more effective methods of achieving a better quality and higher standards of living, making progress and development for all.
