It is a strange time we live in. Wars and rumours of wars, excessive wealth juxtaposed with increasing poverty, beautiful seascapes threatened by rising sea levels, brilliant advances in science and medical research one hand and feigned ignorance or outright opposition to empirical evidence on the other, inspirational stories of human resilience and compassion alongside instances of inhumanity and violence. The contrasts are stark and numerous. Which way will we go? What wisdom can we offer to those who follow? Can we build the better world for which we yearn? Absolutely we can! Here's my take on our pathway to that world.
