In reading this I see that there are many people who want to be part of creating a happy world for people, and all life on our planet. The intention of such people is pure and admirable and inspiring. From here the very hard questions must be asked about what the next steps follow to achieve a happy world.
There are many proposed quick fixes to problems- many failing for numerous reasons- solution is too small for the problem, lack of understanding its complexities, solutions imposed from the outside and therefore not locally relevant, etc.
It is our job as passionate people to share skills in analysing what the causes are of issues. To make sure these deeper discussions are occuring to bring together diversity of perspectives. Then what naturally follows this step, is the step towards the solutions- solutions that are locally relevant, empowering and solutions that serve more than just one issue- that is integrated holistic solutions.
So I ask in this forum what are the issues and why are they occuring? This is the first step before investing any resources in action.
