Back by um...popular(?) demand

I must admit that the my attention to this blog has wanned over the past three months. But my honest belief is that I should on write stuff on here when I have something worthwhile to say.

For the last few days I have been participating in a convergence of leaders from around America and the globe who are have gathered together out a common purpose to influence the world. I would like to expand on something that was put forward this morning in a panel discussion.

It was put forward that "Who can I trust?" is a fundamental question that shapes, in part, the way we in the west approach engaging in society. It was stated that the question is now at the very essence of how many of us see life because of the unfulfilled promises of scientific advancement and the decay of the family unit.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki demonstrated that science was not the new bright hope of a better world and a better life but if fact a treacherous pursuit so poorly pursued that global alienation, (the term once confined to science-fiction) may become the last entry into our history books.

Once a taboo, divorce has sadly become as much of a social institutional experience for many families as the marriage relationship it severs.

It should come to no surprise that children grow into adulthood with persistent question mark hanging over every interaction with a new people or contact we a new organisation. For any of us how have to promote, spread, and communicate ideas and beliefs we are faced with the challenge to not develop a perception of trust worthiness but to actually develop credibility through building relationships based around honest yet tactful presentation of what we are about and to what ends we want to achieve.

I believe that this in not a vocation relative theory but rather a posture everyone should consider who desires others to know what they know or experience what they experience. The alternative is that it will take so long for someone to trust what the hear or see that nothing positively authentic will be spread.
