Evolve to a higher set of values

Some of us are fortunate to have a rich cultural legacy while the rest of us simply acquire values as we go along.

In a converging world, owing to globalisation and digitalisation, there is a cultural synthesis in progress.

Education brings with it scientific thinking, which is required to weed out superstition, and other negative aspects involved. However, let us also bear in mind that our knowledge has limitations and that we cannot always rely on reason.

If it is a cultural synthesis we are moving towards, let’s move to the best, while preserving the diversity that makes the world so beautiful.
