 Today is Golden Rule Day at the Charter for Compassion, which is one of my favorite sources of inspiration and hope in the world today. The Charter was founded in 2009 by Karen Armstrong who had a vision for a global movement, where individuals, communities and cities all over the planet would begin to embrace the principle of compassion in every aspect of their daily life. I remember I signed the charter right before the anniversary of 9/11 in 2010 as a way of taking a stand for peace and committing to practicing compassion in my own life and in the world around me. Today, Charter for Compassion has expanded all over planet and is committed to establishing and sustaining compassionate cultures in the arts, business, education, the environment, healthcare, interfaith communities, peace, restorative justice, science and research, social justice, social services, science and research and women and girls. It is a wonderful place to find inspiration articles, books, classes and best of all, to learn tangible ways you can begin to practice compassion in your life, community, city, state, country and the world.
