Sobre IBD

From the richness of philosophies and religions, this book presents the spiritual timber from which to construct a life of compassion and justice.The aphorisms present material from which a home can be constructed, one with air and light, shutters thrown open and doors ajar. It is a home of shelter, protection and warmth, love and happiness.Here are some thoughts to help build such a life:·       Generosity of spirit creates a life worth living.·       Never promote yourself at another’s expense.·       A thoughtful person thinks for herself; a thoughtless person thinks only of herself.·       Allow each person the dignity of his or her own labor.·       Wealth justly gained is honorable; wealth unjustly gained is dishonorable; wealth kept for one’s self is shameful.·       Owning things isn’t bad; being owned by things is bad.·       Goodness is a gift from those who went before. Therefore, make things better for those who come after.
