"Contrary to prevailing philosophical mythology, moral behavior isn’t just about people’s individual nature, their education, parenting, peers, social bonds, personal intentions or other such factors commonly discussed concerning a person’s character. This mythology - that morality is only about individual behavior - ignores the incredible, stress-inducing pressure placed upon a civilization that is based upon its members fighting with each other to survive. In such a world, ethical behavior as we traditionally consider it is severely limited in its capacity for expression. It isn’t that people aren’t capable of more caring, compassionate, helpful, and socially respectful behavior - it is that the socioeconomic system won’t support it. In fact, I would argue that the more ethical you are, the more likely you will fail in the game of commerce. The system simply doesn’t support real human compassion on the sociological level. It isn’t designed to."

- Peter Joseph, in "The New Human Rights Movement".

Great visual!

When professionals use words like "connection", the word seems to take on a deeper meaning and people seem to be confused. The word is thrown around as if it is a universal term of parenting that should be understood. The truth is connection is really quite simple, it is that feeling that you have with those special people in your life where you feel you are safe to be you and they love you not matter what. Connection is made up of those moments when you laugh so hard together that it feels like nobody else is around. When you can be upset and know that you won't be rejected. It is when you feel heard, understood and valued. No wonder it is so important.
