Indeed.  It all starts with self.  With the free will and personal responsibilty born with us; to mould ourselves into something that can be the embodiment of happiness -thus, moulding our families, communities, nations, continents and planet(s). 

People tend to take happiness with a pinch of salt.  They tend to throw it back a t the sixties, calling it fluffy -calling it romantic and dreamy.  But why not?  The one thing that every creature on this planet shares is the desire to be happy -to be free from suffering.  Why should this be such a “grand” dream for our civilization?
