"Responsibility, Usefulness and Graciousness" provides a paradigm shift from the survival of the fittest and a might is right value system to that of the survival of the fit, with a value system of participation and collaboration.. It reconciles our everyday experience of the diversity of nature and as we see it in the north and the south, east and the west. each being different, and even as we acknowledge all of us coming from one origin and having a fundamental and common humanity.. It is a spirituality that creates a new morality and ethics in governance and in business, this latterwhere most of us make our contribution to society. In life and living we adapt and evolve. When we change our self, we change our world.
