Given what is happening to us all and to the entire web of life, it is tragic to note that the most overlooked leadership skill in politics, economics and business, in teaching and practice, is the absence of a moral compass in decision making. According to the Balance Careers, four of the 10 top leadership skills are: 1) communication, 2) motivation, 3) delegating, and 4) positivity. Wow! Where is the moral compass!!

'All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?'
‘What is it that we hunger for? The modern world would have us look no further than our smartphone…TikTok, Amazon, YouTube, Google…to find that elusive object of our desire.

The illusion at the heart of every crisis we face in the world today, every system of oppression. The illusion of separation, that ‘my’ cravings, grievances, conveniences are of paramount importance.’- KOSMOS Journal

Lest it has been forgotten, artificial/virtual relationships aren’t the cure for loneliness - they’re a symptom of it.
