The human heart is the first home of democracy. It is where we embrace our questions: Can we be equitable? Can we be generous?

If we're all led to believe that poverty is just a matter of laziness or stupidity or whatever other justifications we can come up with, then we're not likely to be in a real position to do much about it when it comes to attacking the root cause of the problem.

This is insidious, because ideology is something we carry around with us in our heads; it forms the basis of our day-to-day understanding of the world.
With the growth of the world population, the global climate change and the need for a greater healthy environment, access to water resources has become a crucial condition for the realization of an equitable international order, where the needs of the peoples are effectively addressed.
