Transnational is better than international. Global is better than transnational. Cosmic is better than global. Someday soon everything on this planet will be at long last understood in its cosmic, evolutionary nature. Then an entirely new page of human civilization, a non-destructive, exalted, fulfilled and glorious one will arise. Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 2 Of Happiness Once during the war, a very intelligent man, a hat manufacturer from Belgium, visited our family. When he heard my father complain about the hardness of the times, he went to the bathroom and brought back a fragrant loaf of prewar toilet soap which my mother had extracted from her treasure-chest in his honor. He passed it around and asked everyone to take a deep breath of its delightful fragrance. Then he said: "Once this war is over never will anyone of us feel again the happiness we enjoy at this moment in touching and smelling this soft, heavenly, rare loaf of soap. At every time of one's life, in every circumstance there is an opportunity for happiness. The art of living consists in seeking out these special moments." I have never forgotten his words. Each time I unwrap a fresh loaf of toilet soap, his words come back to me, and I hold it respectfully to my nostrils to enjoy a special moment of happiness. O youth of today, you do not know how lucky you are. You will never know how badly a piece of wartime soap looked like and smelled. I can still feel its sandy texture hurt my skin.
