It is time to start discussing value-based rather than faith-based. We must leave our comfort zone and open the door to new members who might change our philosophy of thought.
For example, let us discuss the principles of humanitarian work. Some may say they are faith-based. Some may ask how to include others. The debate needs to be opened. Are the existing principles good? In my opinion, they are, however what they miss is human initiative. This human initiative should come in the form of active discussions. For example, should the number of principles be reduced or should we add some more? If we reduced or added, what would it be like?
Society is developing around us at the speed of light, yet it seems to me we are trying to keep up with it at the speed of a bicycle. Humanitarianism is not a one sided coin- it is a multi-faceted process of value based deliverable products to serve the community.
Let us walk together on the red carpet to make a difference!
