I had read the article from which I got that quote a *little bit* to quickly, and I thought that I could not find the name of the person who said that. Now, I believe it was _Leonardo Boff_ born in Brazil, yes, and a theologian. _Mario Osava_ appears to be the journalist who reported about the event mentionned by Randy. Thanks anyway! :)

Whoever said it, it is a good statement and reflects the true intention behind the creation.

While talking with a group (about 300) activists about a new ethic needed to save life on earth, the theologian Mario Osava stated (full quote):
It is not reason but feeling that is involved in our first contact with reality, and "today's great crisis is not economic, political or religious, but a crisis of affect, of the capacity to feel a connection with others," he said. It is indispensable to "take care of all living things," and science shows that cooperation is the "supreme law of the universe," he added. "The world is not made up of objects but of relationships. It was cooperation that made possible the leap from animal to humanity, and without it we are dehumanised, which is what occurs in the case of capitalism,"

Was it the same person who said "there are no problems, only solutions"?
