Hey everyone, welcome to our Human Values community. If you’re here, it’s probably because something in you refuses to look away from the major issues facing currently facing our Global Community. You care about the human cost of war and violence, about children and families caught in violence, and about what it means to live by your own Values when the world feels like it's headed in a negative direction. I’m James -- a retired military officer who’s served over 24 years in uniform and has been working through my own questions about conscience, responsibility, and what “doing the right thing” actually looks like in real life. The Human Values YouTube channel started as me talking through those questions. Now we’re building something bigger together! 🌎 ❤️ ☮️ https://www.youtube.com/@HumanValuesLife https://humanvalueslife.com/ What our community is for - Honest conversations about how to live with real empathy for other human beings, no matter where they are in our world - Highlighting and learning from leaders who embody positive Human Values — Integrity, Courage, Humility, and Compassion — so we can choose, elect, and follow leaders of character. - Supporting projects like the Human Values Life Foundation and, over time, the Minab School Memorial & Family Support project, as tangible expressions of our shared conscience. (project currently in the works) - Encouraging each other to live a “More than Words” life — where our differences are respected, our unique backgrounds add to the strength of this community, and we each take small, concrete actions we can actually follow through on to make someone else’s life a little safer, kinder, or more seen. What our community is NOT for - Division or aggressive / demeaning political rhetoric - Personal attacks, dehumanizing language, or cheering for anyone’s suffering - Spamming, self‑promotion, or conspiracy rabbit holes We’re here to try to be better humans together. That’s it.
