A New Foundation

What drives society? What is it, at the core, that drives us in what we do?  There is not just one answer to this.  In every society the answer is different, throughout the world and throughout time.  Here and now in America for instance, it is money, for better or for worse, that is the reality.  Money is what drives a capitalistic society.  Humanity, however, cannot stand on this foundation for long.  The foundation we need is something greater, something simpler.  What we need is a foundation of human rights.  The idea that everyone needs to be treated with a certain amount of dignity.  This is not a new revolution of ideas, but a basis of all those who have come before us and tried to create a better society.  But where they have failed, we will succeed.  Human dignity will not be part of Kiism, but all that it is.  Human rights are the beginning and the end.  It is a purpose of life, a foundation of an awareness of society.  When we make our decisions in life, and choose our path, the well being of all people should be the bottom line.
