What are we doing here? This and other philosophical questions are what this site is all about. Of course you won't find the answer to the meaning of life here (or even the correct question), but perhaps you may find some things of interest that help us all move one step closer?

The "big questions" are very interesting, but I won't stop there. What about a philosophy for daily life? Many people have adopted philosophies based on particular religions. Many more have similar philosophies, but without the religious element. Our intention here is to explore "The Empathic Way" - ideas for life that can happily coexist with any major religion or be used as a basis for living a centred life without religion.

I will not tell you what you should think - that is not part of the philosophy and anyway, in so many things, "what we should think" is something we are all trying to figure out for ourselves.

I may not be able to solve the problems of the world, but the more of us that encourage everyone around the world to live in peace and harmony, the closer we will come to that biggest of dreams, "Peace on Earth". This does not mean we should sit back if attacked, but it does mean we should attempt to avoid escalating violence and try to find peaceful solutions where they exist and not place blame where it doesn't belong.

I will be adding to the site as time passes, gradually building it up to what will hopefully be an interesting place to stop for a moment and consider what life is all about. So if you are one of the few who have stumbled across us while I have been in this initial site-creation stage, please do come back to see what I've done with the place.
