*** WHY THIS APP? ***
Confucius (551-479 BC) expounded the philosophical concept about two thousand five hundred years ago: "a world is full of difference and contradictions, but the righteous folks would balance them and achieve harmony."
Secretary Hillary Clinton said recently, "I have often quoted a Chinese proverb which says that when you are in a common boat, you have to cross the river peacefully together. Well, we are in a common boat."
Butler, a small college with big heart, who almost won the US college basketball national champion, has this vision: "The University emphasizes a liberal arts-based education with the goal of teaching clear and effective communication, appreciation of beauty, and a commitment to lifelong learning, community service and global awareness."
This world is our world, our common boat, and global awareness should be in everyones vision, if we want to really achieve harmony.
