The Charter 11/13/09

Unconditional compassion, a truly revolutionary idea

A worldwide revolution has begun

The deepest of human longings has found a global voice at last

Wounded mother earth and her progeny rejoice

Endnote: The Charter for Compassion was unveiled on 11/12/09. Karen Armstrong was the initial motivating force. It espouses “honoring the inviolable sanctity of every single human being, treating everybody without exception with absolute justice, equity and respect.” It endorses “refraining consistently and emphatically from inflicting pain.”
