The principle of compassion lies at the heart of all religious, ethical and spiritual traditions, calling us always to treat all others as we wish to be treated ourselves. Compassion impels us to work tirelessly to alleviate the suffering of our fellow creatures, to dethrone ourselves from the centre of our world and put another there, and to honour the inviolable sanctity of every single human being, treating everybody, without exception, with absolute justice, equity and respect.
It is also necessary in both public and private life to refrain consistently and empathically from inflicting pain. To act or speak violently out of spite, chauvinism, or self-interest, to impoverish, exploit or deny basic rights to anybody, and to incite hatred by denigrating others - even our enemies - is a denial of our common humanity. We acknowledge that we have failed to live compassionately and that some have even increased the sum of human misery in the name of religion.
We therefore call upon all men and women ~ to restore compassion to the centre of morality and religion ~ to return to the ancient principle that any interpretation of scripture that breeds violence, hatred or disdain is illegitimate ~ to ensure that youth are given accurate and respectful information about other traditions, religions and cultures ~ to encourage a positive appreciation of cultural and religious diversity ~ to cultivate an informed empathy with the suffering of all human beings, even those regarded as enemies.
We urgently need to make compassion a clear, luminous and dynamic force in our polarized world. Rooted in a principled determination to transcend selfishness, compassion can break down political, dogmatic, ideological and religious boundaries. Born of our deep interdependence, compassion is essential to human relationships and to a fulfilled humanity. It is the path to enlightenment, and indispensible to the creation of a just economy and a peaceful global community.

Just let go of the conspiracy theories for once and see it for what it is: a well intetioned call for empathy between ourselves which misguidedly tries to create one solution to all of our problems
Given this current practice, compassion and responsibility have tended to be regarded as a unilateral act flowing from the giver to the recipient. From this perspective, the world is seen as divided between between the haves and the have-nots, the fortunate and the less fortunate. What is often overlooked is the psychological impact on the recipient.
interdependance -----one of them "new age" phrases. after watching this google the "georgia guidestones" see what they plan to replace the 10 commandments with ( since the first commandent on the guidestones, is maintain humanity under 500 million--what do u supposed has to happen to the other 6 billion of us??
