Hello from Dublin, Ireland.

More internal dialogue and appreciation then a comment. Wonderful explanations, concepts and terms to analyze from the welcoming video alone. Incorporating them into our own processes. I still have to continue with the segments I can make time for, so some things may be mentioned in other videos. Thinking, or typing, out loud to stimulate ideas. Regarding breaking down barriers of who is in our sphere of concern, or own little universes, are the thoughts of personal capabilities, boundaries or jurisdictions while keeping in mind we are all connected. (Five Degrees of Kevin Bacon). Then the suppression of natural altruism taking a tax on us, as it would with anyone with that inherent goodness. Would the same apply to those who don’t show remorse or empathy? How about the family setting, a parent or guardian who holds back on those attributes. For personal health, capabilities, growth or to make space for others to have the opportunity at hand? Loved the “Hedonic Treadmill”. Multiple connections and ideas sparked from hearing that concept. Would the same life advice be appropriate to those in toxic or dangerous situations and environments? Causing more negative experiences in the collective psyche. Not forgetting the universal idea of happiness comes within and a calm, trained mind can lead to constructive forces. Leading towards that happy humanity and society concept. Happiness being unique yet universal, like our identities. The sense or “cause” of happiness to one might not be the same to another or might even conflict. Continuing the hope for finding that sense of harmony that is always changing or evolving. Best of luck to the remainder of the summit and everyone involved or watching.
