الناشر: New-Acropolis-Cultural-Organization

فئة: Culture

لغة: English

تكرار: Quarterly

In Ancient Greece, the Acropolis referred to the sacred centre, that lay higher than the rest of the city. It was a place of inspiration; a bridge that enabled citizens yo connect to the divine, evoking the expression of the higher human virtues. Deriving inspiration from its purpose, The Acropolitan Magazine serves as a tribute to every citizen yearning for these higher principles in all aspects of Life: truth, Beauty, justice, Goodness.

It is evident that we live in a paradox - of global connectivity, and yet separation. While we are engaged in conflicts and are at war with each other in different parts of the world, our planet confronts an ecological crisis. The root cause of both, perhaps, is our disconnect. When we see ourselves as separate from nature, we limit our concern to our needs and wants. Similarly, when we focus on our differences, we tend to bind ourselves within the framework of our upbringing and cultural norms, and narrow our view of what is right.
Instead, can we learn to develop our own moral compass? If we can begin to see not just with our eyes but with our heart, we would be better able to understand our true selves, see another’s perspective and our role in the larger scheme of life. International Mother Earth Day which we celebrate in April, is a good opportunity to remind ourselves that we are diverse expressions of ONE humanity, and collectively we have a responsibility of being custodians of the planet. What a world we could be if we would truly resonate with this idea!
Do we have the courage to dream of this better world, and the perseverance to work towards it? The world today needs leaders who can show the way, by being an example of the change needed…and thus inspire others. The world needs philosophers, who will dare to DISCOVER. AWAKEN. TRANSFORM.
