As The Political Leaders Of Europe Meet

We Have No Idea Where The World Is Going, Except That It's Going There Very Fast.

Make Space In Your Life For The Things That Matter, For Family And Friends, Love And Generosity, Fun And Joy. Without This, You Will Burn Out In Mid-career And Wonder Where Your Life Went.

When Everything That Matters Can Be Bought And Sold, When Commitments Can Be Broken Because They Are No Longer To Our Advantage, When Shopping Becomes Salvation And Advertising Slogans Become Our Litany, When Our Worth Is Measured By How Much We Earn And Spend, Then The Market Is Destroying The Very Virtues On Which In The Long Run It Depends.

Technology Gives Us Power, But It Does Not And Cannot Tell Us How To Use That Power. Thanks To Technology, We Can Instantly Communicate Across The World, But It Still Doesn't Help Us Know What To Say.

Volunteering Has Been Undervalued In Britain For A Long Time. Often It Has Been Seen As A Kind Of Cut-price, Amateur Version Of Work That Would Be Better Done By The State. When Politicians Speak About It, People Hear In The Background The Sound Of Budgets Being Cut.
