compassion
To “love people” or “love humanity” in the abstract is easy, whereas to feel compassion toward actual individuals is difficult.
nonviolence
“Nonviolence” does not merely mean to refrain from violence. Violence erupts when one person blames another for a problem or conflict. Conversely, nonviolence is a way of life in which one resolves, “Let me be the one to change first.” If this spirit were to be embraced, how much more at peace would our families and society itself be.
global-citizenship
: The wisdom to perceive the interconnectedness of all life and living.: The courage not to fear or deny difference; but to respect and strive to understand people of different cultures, and to grow from encounters with them.: The compassion to maintain an imaginative empathy that reaches beyond one’s immediate surroundings and extends to those suffering in distant places.
