So many news headlines are screaming for our attention, but you’ll soon discover that they say all kinds of contradictory things that do not give us a steady life direction. Reading all these news items, you’ll find that many things around you are troublesome. Every day you learn the same thing: many arguments explode; couples fight; family discord is troubling; neighbours quarrel; young people (and older ones as well) get depressed and at times die from overdoses; people get shot or stabbed; wars are being fought all over the place; world leaders threaten each other and some start a war, shedding the blood of their own countrymen and that of others; national leaders tell you what they want you to believe, whether they are right or not; the West accuses the East of misrepresenting the truth and the East blasts the West for its hypocrisy. Whom do you believe? Whom can you trust? What is true? How can we build a better world? We tend to get lost listening to all these frightening episodes. And when we lose heart, life becomes so useless.

This need not be so, however. You ought to ask yourself whether there is a sensible alternative to all of this chaos. I very much believe that there is. What I have found has given my life great stability. I’ve overcome my own deep-seated anger. Confusing issues are fitting together into a clearer vision, giving me light along my pathway in times of darkness, a sense of security, and also as a firm direction to follow. Even in old age I tend to be excited about life. I wish to share this sensible vision with you, so that your life may become more stable, more steady, more sensible, more secure, and more mature. Later I hope to tell you how this life vision has guided me into very meaningful activities that are helpful to others. If you want to make sense of life, you need to move from a subjective self-focused way of thinking to an objective, other-centred way of living. That makes all the difference in the world. Such an approach will inspire you. And you need to begin with yourself.Do you want to read on? Touch the “Core Value” button.
