I would like to see a world with only beautiful names, like: Curacao, the Heart; Sri Lanka, the beautiful island; Canada, the land of many villages; France, the land of the free; Pakistan, the land of the pure; Philippines, the country of the horse lovers; Tanganyka, the lake surrounded by trees, etc. Any others? Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 4 - Of Positive Living I dream of a world from which all negativity has been eradicated. We need a World Campaign for the Eradication of Negativity!

innate sense of fairness dovetailed with participation in markets and
major religions. "You can't get the effects we're seeing from genes,"
notes evolutionary psychologist Joe Henrich. "These are things you
learn as a consequence of growing up in a particular place." [ 
In
the age of multi-tasking, constant communication, and overwhelming
stimuli, studies show that a 20 minute walk helps refocus our minds and

in relaxed fashion- leaves rustling, patterns of clouds, sunsets, a

regenerate. Attention, therefore, is "restored" by exposure to natural
environments. [
