Epidemic of Global Anger

I read Caroline Myss's Blog post on an Epidemic of Global Anger http://www.huffingtonpost.com/caroline-myss/an-epidemic-of-global-ang_b_310209.html where she so eloquently says "Our deeper truth is that we are in the midst of a collective faith crisis but it isn't with God; it's with humanity itself. We can no longer trust our common sense or humanity to keep our species alive much less safe and healthy."

Sharing her views, we continue to work at ways to bring about a new awareness to the importance, power and fragile nature of trust. To remind people that we, as humans, must trust each other. It is how we function on a day to day basis. We have simply forgotten that as we go about our daily business, there are a string of people relying on us, trusting us to do certain things in certain ways, to say things, to provide, support, love,encourage and empower those around us.

I believe we have to go right back to the basics. To teach our children how to trust, and how important it is to be trustworthy. It is that message that I take to Russia in just over a week, to a school system that is, hopefully, open to teaching their children tolerance and trust through a program we are rolling out across the world through the Entente Foundation, starting in Australia and Russia.

I can only hope that if we can catch the next generation on a new wave of trust and caring for humanity, we may still have the bright future we all wished for our children.
