Panetics

Panetics is panethical - the semantic and synergistic relationship is intentional - it is a science and field of study and application created by Ralph_G.H._Siu to describe an area of practice concerend with the infliction of suffering and its reduction. The Term "paneti" which means "to inflict" in Pali, the language of the Buddha was selected to look into the dukkha and sukkha for guiding the human path and future lives, or more specific and down to daily conduct for leaders, in decision making, good behaviour or statesmenship (governance). The term "panethics" was first coined by Professor Rudolph Krejci in 1986.
Its essence is to synthesize thinking from both East and West into a readily understandable and agreed upon system of ethics. It is based upon the fundamental principle that no one has the right to inflict distress, pain and anguish on another.

The founder of Panetics has studied the inceasing mutual inflictions of suffering by practically everyone and the neglect of this pervasive and degenerating human deficiency by the academic community.
He requested a new and vigorous academic discipline, called panetics. This field is devoted to the study of the infliction of suffering. The nature, scope, illustrative contents, and social value are subject of panetics. The dukkha is proposed as a semiquantitative unit of suffering to assist in associated analytical operations.
Síu's higher national service, Chinese and cross-cultural transdisciplinary background alowed him not only to revist the Tao or Dao (é?“ , but to look into how we raise and train policy makers. This has much to implications on Peacemaking and Mediation, see also Galtung below , or

The opposite of dukkha is sukkha
