President Obama said, while commenting on a recent man-made tragedy, 'we should ask ourselves if we're doing all we can to widen the circle of compassion in our own communities.'
Countries like America spend huge amount of precious resources in rapidly increasing security systems, crime detection and criminal justice system and also on life-style related health abuse.
If the leadership ponders on education at formative years, on universal values such as compassionate living, and modest life style instead of indulgence, there is scope for preventing the above unnecessary spending of resources and they can be used towards more productive causes. American parents, teachers and caregivers should set an example for modest lifestyle and compassionate living. www.theosconf.org/ITC_brochure.pdf
