| | | [GMW #1410] Studying The Whole System For Better Behavior Of The Whole | Wednesday 13 February 2008, Editor: Easy | RobertMuller.org | Contact | Subscribe | Unsubscribe | | GMW Blogs: English | Portuguese | Spanish | Tagalog | Dutch | | Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 6501 to 7000 | ~ Idea 6583 ~ "Someone should be studying the whole system… however crudely that has to be done, because no gluing together of partial studies of a complex nonlinear system can give a good idea of the behavior of the whole." - Murray Gell-Mann * |
| Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 1 The Joy of Living. | Even if all my efforts for the peace and joy of this planet were vain, I would still exclaim with the poet: "It is better to have loved and lost Than to have lost and never loved." * | | One day we must come to see that the whole Jericho road must be transformed so that men and women will not be constantly beaten and robbed as they make their journey on life's highway. True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it is not haphazard and superficial. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring. A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth. With righteous indignation, it will look across the seas and see individual capitalists of the West investing huge sums of money in Asia, Africa and South America, only to take the profits out with no concern for the social betterment of the countries, and say: "This is not just." It will look at our alliance with the landed gentry of Latin America and say: "This is not just." The Western arrogance of feeling that it has everything to teach others and nothing to learn from them is not just. A true revolution of values will lay hands on the world order and say of war: "This way of settling differences is not just." . . . A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death. - MLK Jr. | | | | | | | |
