As the age draws to a close, the twenty first century seems to be more uncertain and confused than any given centuries in all of history. We have witnessed right before our eyes some of the most sophisticated achievements of mankind in its attempt to invent and develop a variety of systems and social structures to grapple with the realities of life. Decades of religious, political and secular ideologies have taken a toll on our societies; the way we think and act is a reflection of the ideas we carry. As a result, we have produced a tapestry of religious, political, secular practices and ideologies that only serve to create more problems than they solve.
As a matter of fact, we have succeeded in modernizing a world without morals. We are smarter but not wiser; we produce products that make us live longer but not healthier; we accumulate things but can’t enjoy them; we can sit in the comfort of our nicely decorated offices but cannot go home to a good family. We fought and won major battles abroad but lose the battle at home. We have created more tolerable people but less people who care for the affairs of our universe; we continue to blame others for our choices as we look to ourselves for solutions to the problems we create. So, What do we do? Where do we go from here? Is there a solution?
These are the questions that SIPO would attempt to answer through conferences and meetings.
