I like your current version of your goal statement - "Friendliness to
sentient beings past, present and future" most out of your versions so
far.
You might want to mention a spacial dimension - eg. "everywhere".
This goal statement still seems to be some distance away from a goal
that would lead to a "respect for life" in general. I understand your
special regard for sentient beings (I share it) but lots of people have
respect "for life in all its forms" so is there a need for a goal statement
that directly addresses the "respect for life" question without having to
be derived from the "Friendliness to sentient beings everywhere, past,
present and future" goal statement?
Cheers, Philip
