A HUMAN INDIVIDUAL
The basic building block of society is the individual person.
Society should enable a decent quality of life for everyone, no matter what.
A person should make a contribution to society in return.

THE VALUE OF A HUMAN LIFE
Quality of life (QoL) begins with 'being alive'.
Attitude makes a difference
External factors are also important
|
|
CUMULATIVE IMPACTS OF THE PAST
Experience ... good or bad ... factors into QoL
Learning from experience is essential
Do not 'live' in the past
|
|
THE IMPACTS OF THE PLACE
Some places are easy ... there is material abundance
Tough places bring out character
|
|
THE IMPACTS OF POLICY
National policy can set the tone ... but easily ignored
Local community policy has real impact on QoL
Policy and action should not be wide apart
|
|
THE POTENTIAL OF THE FUTURE
This is the basis for hope
Hope and optimism are favorable to better QoL
Humankind's cumulative knowledge should be the basis for a great future!
