Change in ourselves and in the world in which we live may not take place in a hurry; it will take time. But if we don't make the effort nothing will happen at all....such change will not take place because of decisions taken by governments or at the UN. Real change will take place when individuals transform themselves guided by the values that lie at the core at all human ethical systems, scientific findings and common sense....as human beings, equipped with marvelous intelligence and the potential for developing a warm heart, each and everyone of us can become a force for good.
