“Peace on earth” and “goodwill toward men” are phrases we hear at this holiday time of the year.  All too often, the reality of the world around us reveals that the human race has a way to go to achieve such goals.  In fact, life can be downright discouraging at times in view of the negatives around us every day.  But there’s hope.

While doing some reading this weekend, I tracked down an article I had seen earlier when it was published in the fall 2008 edition of YES! Magazine.  Written by David Korten and entitled “We Are Hard-Wired to Care and Connect,” it provides some encouragement about our prospects.  In “the spirit of the season,” I offer it to you as we celebrate the holidays and look toward a New Year.  To access the article, simply click here.

Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
