Transformative change can only come about if we reject antiquated solutions to crises and embrace a profound enquiry into the reality of humanity’s purpose on this planet. Conclusions drawn, with absolute certainty, will perturb the uninitiated. Making and revising laws and similar social objectives in many cases can be accomplished by a relatively small cadre of experts and specialists. In contrast, the task of expanding the foundations of human knowledge, of humanity’s well-being and purpose, both individually and collectively, will require a much wider conversion to even greater depths of knowledge and understanding. The advancement of human development in a global context can not be accorded to a few individuals working on behalf of the many; rather, it must be borne by increasing larger segments of the human family with all it’s vast and inherent diversity. This means that a broad-based coalition of collective effort guided by acknowledged interdependency, will ultimately provide the means whereby humanity’s true purpose will be revealed. It will require wrestling with difficult problems and social issues that in turn will elicit profound questions. How can we act towards one other in ways that fulfill policy goals and objectives? What patterns of interaction will be required between and among individuals, their communities, and governing institutions of society? In what ways will human qualities and commonalities such as generosity, respect, integrity and justice find tangible expression in everyday life? Questions like these are undeniably challenging. They touch on complex issues of personal beliefs and social values that resist being answered by conjectures, simple recipes or formulas. In final analysis, humanity’s well-being cannot be achieved without the conscious exploration of possible prerequisites for that very ‘well-being’ to be made possible. Only in this way can an agenda for public policy be created and pursued to achieve the publics’ welfare. Is this not the purpose of human endeavor?
