Why I support the Compassion Coalition
The Global Compassion Coalition is essential in these challenging times. Greed and selfishness are destroying our way of life. Compassion is no longer a luxury. Rather, it is a necessity for survival. Survival of the human family, animal family, plants, and mother earth. The GCC is bringing together individuals and organizations committed to teaching and modeling compassion. Our educational institutions are currently lacking in compassion education. We must infuse compassion into education. Politics is lacking in compassion. We must infuse compassion into leadership and politics. Thanks you with deep bows, GCC for your valiant efforts to put compassion into the water that everyone drinks!
