Benevolence can be seen as optimism applied to other people and relationships. It does not consist of any particular set of actions, but a general good will towards others based on the benevolent universe premise: Successful trading relationships with others are the to be expected, so treat other people accordingly. For example, if you are optimistic about other people and relationships, then perhaps you will treat a stranger like you would normally treat an acquaintance and an acquaintance like a friend. This broadcasts a friendly, non- hostile, attitude and a willingness to trade which is a prerequisite for peaceful interaction. Benevolence is not the same as altruism. Altruism dictates that you sacrifice yourself for the benefit for others -- that their need is a claim on your actions. Benevolence enables you to achieve your values from relationships with other people. Benevolence is very much like productiveness in its use as a tool for achieving value. By giving a person the benefit of the doubt when interacting with them, you create opportunities that would not be available if you always assume the worst about people and act like it. This mainly manifests itself in the form of civility. Politeness takes little effort and can often achieve a lot. Politeness and the assumption that another person is not out to cheat you pave the way for beneficial interaction. Trust between people can be built up over time and founded on the past actions of the other person; but it has to start somewhere. Initial trust is based on a positive outlook on humanity and the likelihood that the other person is a good example. Benevolence is this optimism applied to the other person. Economic trade, exchange of knowledge, and mutual protection all require some level of trust between people. Traditionally, benevolence as been seen as being in conflict with justice. The Christians like to talk about "tempering" justice with mercy, and many rugged individualists hold justice so highly and irrationally that they view benevolence as treason to reality. These attitudes only apply is benevolence is seen simply as mercy and generosity in response to another www.ibrf.ind.in Page 5 [Vision Document (2016 – 2025) of IBRF] person suffering or need. Helping another in an emergency is a marginal issue in philosophy because, according to the benevolent universe premise, failure and suffering are the abnormal and not to be expected. They are not metaphysically important. The idea behind conducting applied researches for optimizing the available resources of our planet is also to solve the contemporary problems with a view to ensuring and bringing peace in the third millennium. We have collected the following information regarding research related activities for the protection of the mother earth. We are sure that this Vision Document will merit the consideration of the academicians, researchers, scientists, policymakers, planners, bureaucrats, technocrats, politicians, industrialists and activists. www.ibrf.ind.in Page 6 [Vision Document (2016 – 2025) of IBRF] Chapter 2 Objectives of International Benevolent Research Foundation (IBRF) The objectives of the International Benevolent Research Foundation (IBRF) has been formed are : 1.
