    this is very good. we're different - we have www.virtuesproject.com where we understand the same values and yet internalize it as many of us have difficulties in actionizing it. its nots easy. successful people is a concept. they look so but internally nothing. what we need is a revolution in all terms to change the individual and the community. tall order. but it will come not now but way out in the future.

    what is more important is equality of women - the other half of humanity whoi have not been heard. their voice will bring unity peace and security for humanity
