Our generation has arrived at the threshold of a new era in human history. Communications, trade + International relations as well as the security and environmental dilemmas we all face make us increasingly interdependent. No one can live in isolation. Thus whether we like it or not, our vast and diverse human family must finally learn to live together. Individually and collectively we must assume a greater sense of universal responsibility.

We confidently use terms like “facts’, “truth” and “reality”; yet in the end these are mere words, and our experience of any given subject is conditioned by our personal make-up. Nowhere is more evident than in the telling of history. Life is so rich, detailed and multifaceted that we can’t describe the things that occur in just one day of an ordinary individual’s life. Words are simply inadequate. Yet we attempt to speak of thousands of years of human experience as though it were a flat object held in the palm of the hand.
