“Why is compassion not part of our established curriculum, an inherent part of our education?  Compassion awe, wonder, curiosity, exhalation, humility these are the very foundation of any real civilization, no longer the prerogatives of any one church, but belonging  to everyone, every child in every home, in every school. 
Yehudi Menuhin.
“Humans are unique in possessing the neurological substrates that generate consciousness”
Cambridge Declaration of Consciousness 2012
