I believe that our society is merely a reflection of what is going on inside each and every one of us.

We want to use the environment to shift the way our society works.

Just as the earth is a planet in its own right, so each of us is an individual in our own sphere of habitation. We are individuals, but we live in families and communities where order provides a system of harmony that hinges on obedience to principles.

We are naturally moral beings, but our environments can enhance - or, sadly, degrade - this innate moral sense.

This society is driven by neurotic speed and force accelerated by greed and frustration of not being able to live up to the image of men and woman we have created for ourselves; the image has nothing to do with the reality of people.

A society is defined as much by how it comes to terms with its past as by its attitude toward the future: its memories are no less revealing than its aims.

Our society is the product of several great religious and philosophical traditions. The ideas of the Greeks and Romans, Christianity, Judaism, humanism and the Enlightenment have made us who we are.

We are fashioned not by our genes, but by our environment - by the family and socio-historic conditions in which we evolve.
