The third societal blunder is knowledge without character. Gandhi is one of the best know figures of the 20th century, and he is considered to be full of wisdom. Yet, he held no title or position. He is remembered because his life was a message of virtuous living. Much of our existence today is embodied on empirical, rational, logical, and quantitative knowledge and information. Knowledge, however, is not wisdom. The virtues that build character and wisdom are often neglected in the popular pursuit of ever-changing data. Likewise, fads and fashions promoted through the media dominate personal and business affairs. In contrast, a business operating on virtuous intent focuses on placing products and services of value into the marketplace.
The Child of Virtue Program provides an unwavering foundation for children and young people to enable them to adapt, adjust, and flourish in this ever-changing, increasingly complex, and demanding world. This program of virtue-based training establishes core societal values into the daily lives of children. The purpose is the attainment of peace: personal peace, environmental peace, and social peace. You are invited to join this movement by offering whatever you can give. Let's begin!
