Small is beautiful is the antidote to the vandalism and vulgarity of neoliberalism, the ideology that has always championed greed and envy, amongst other human vices.

“If human vices such as greed and envy are systematically cultivated, the inevitable result is nothing less than a collapse of intelligence. A man driven by greed or envy loses the power of seeing things as they really are, of seeing things in their roundness and wholeness, and his very successes become failures. If whole societies become infected by these vices, they may indeed achieve astonishing things but they become increasingly incapable of solving the most elementary problems of everyday existence.”

‘Father Forgive’: Coventry Cathedral and my journey of discovery
The 1930s were humanity's darkest, bloodiest, and ugliest hour. Is the world steadily sliding back to the chaos of the 1930s?
At these times of personal, societal and global challenges, confusion, pain, fear, economic decline and many more uncertainties, coupled with the rise of populism, intolerance, protectionism, exceptionalism, pseudo-nationalism, and isolationism, we cannot, but turn to humanity and wisdom and learn from the healing story of Coventry Cathedral. Carpe diem!
‘To forgive is to set a prisoner free only to discover that the prisoner is you’- Lewis Smedes
'Forgiveness is the final form of love.'- Reinhold Niebuhr
“Father Forgive”: These two words which I discovered at the ruins of Coventry Cathedral in 1973 changed the course of my life.

Trust and truth are manifestations of our humanity and goodness
"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.”- Leo Tolstoy
DAVOS, To Rebuild Trust You Must First Change Your Spots and Discover that you have Two Wings!!
‘Ill fares the land: to hastening ills a prey
Where wealth accumulates, and men decay’
These timeless words of Oliver Goldsmith, written in 1770, resonate all too easily in our era of a monetised, marketised, privatised, deregulated, self-regulated world, devoid of any moral and spiritual compass and sentiments, in which we find ourselves currently.
