[GMW #3147] Governments Should Inspire Music And Pay For Music Instruments For Each Child


[GMW #3147] Governments Should Inspire Music And Pay For Music Instruments For Each Child

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3547 ~
From Adrian O'Barr, one of our grandchildren
(10 years old):


I think that governments of all countries should inspire music and pay for instruments for each child. I say this because music helps people find their inner selves and gives them a reason to live and keep our world alive.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 14 Of Writing
I also learned that Benjamin Franklin did something similar to copying great author's words: he learned by heart some beautiful sentences by great writers. A few weeks later he tried to express the same thought in writing and then compared the result with the original text.

WORD FOR THE DAY
One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it.
~ Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1074 ~    19 June 1997

Benjamin Franklin, at a session of the Continental Congress trying to ratify the US Constitution rose to say: "Gentlemen, if a sparrow cannot fall on the ground without the knowledge of the Creator, how can we expect to give birth to a new nation without His assistance.  I propose therefore that we open each session with prayer."

This beautiful remark is relevant to all human affairs.  I therefore propose that every family meeting, every school class, every meeting of institutions, government, business and people will begin with prayer.  May the whole world follow the example of the yearly sessions of the United Nations General Assembly which open and end with a minute of silence for prayer or meditation.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 5 - Of Love
Love is above all the natural or willful decision to experience the miraculous beauty of our immediate surroundings, of the Earth, the skies, the stars, the waters, the plants, the animals, the people, the universe and God. 

Love is the most powerful ally of the will to live the fullest possible life.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 137 ~    24 November 1994

I recommend that all United Nations world conferences include an item on violence and non-violence. 

This should be the case of the World Social Summit in Copenhagen, the fourth World Women Conference in Beijing and the World Habitat Conference in Istanbul.
