Who I'd like to meet: All of you. Wherever you are. Whatever you do...
(open-hearted, 2009, http://karmym.imagekind.com/) I believe that at every level of society - familial, tribal, national and international - the key to a happier and more successful world is the growth of compassion. We do not need to become religious, nor do we need to believe in an ideology. All that is necessary is for each of us to develop our good human qualities. (http://dalailama.com)
