[Sigia-l] Design and Religion

[Patrick Walsh]

Well said Arthur. I am not religious but agree wholeheartedly with Abe
Lincoln -
'I care not for a man's religion whose dog and cat (and presumably users)
are not the better for it'

Another of his quotes that also describes my philosophy -
'When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. Thats my religion'

Patrick C Walsh,

My faith leads me to COMPASSION.

And compassion is a good attitude with which to approach the user, or
would be user, of the products I work with.

My business card says, "Listening to Users".  It should or could also
say, "and caring about them".

The content of my faith is a private matter -- something I'm happy to
talk about off line with anybody, but not something I want to
broadcast on a business-related list.  But the social implications of
my faith, and the need for action, is very public.
