Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1501 to 2000
~ Idea 1578 ~ 5 November 1998

When I look at stores in the western countries and see the incredible variety of goods produced and displayed by a multiplicity of firms I'm sure that they cannot all be sold and will be returned or thrown away.

This might be a phenomenon of such colossal magnitude unknown to the public that things must be very basically wrong with the so called western "economic" system. All this is at the expense of the Earth's resources and nature. If it continues unchecked it might mean sooner or later an economic catastrophe.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II  Chapter 2  Of Happiness
World happiness and harmony are impeded by the fact that so many firms are bent on producing consumer unhappiness and endless new desires in order to increase their business.  To induce a six percent increase in the national product of a rich, demographically stable country a six percent increase of unhappiness must be engineered.  Marketing and advertising are the main instruments.
