[GMW #2642] Governments The Greatest Killers On Earth - Part 5/5


[GMW #2642]  Governments The Greatest Killers On Earth - Part 5/5 Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3035e ~   

The greatest killers on this planet are not individuals but governments.  Just have a look at the Dismal Alphabet from Volume III which I reproduce here again in order not to forget it.  It should be permanently on the desk of every head of state.

ROLL CALL OR THE DISMAL ALPHABET [A, B, C, D, E]            ..... [ R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z]


Warsaw, Poland, April - May, 1943 (70,000)
The Wilderness, Chancellorsville, Virginia, April - May, 1863 (30,051)
The Wilderness, Second Battle, May, 1864 (25,166)

Yom Kippur War, October, 1973 (7,537)
Ypres, Belgium, 1914 - 1917 (392,000)

Mary Luttig

MAY THE SOULS OF THESE DEPARTED BROTHERS AND SISTERS CONTRIBUTE TO WORLD PEACE AND BETTER FUTURE GENERATIONS.

Millions of people have been killed by governments in the last two centuries.  National governments are not admirable, praiseworthy, love-worthy institutions.  They are often wholesale killers including of women and children.  Even in peacetime they waste more than one-half of the total taxes from their people on armaments and militaries.  And why are ordinary killers called criminals, put in prison, often condemned to death, while winning generals are called heroes, covered with medals and remembered in monuments and history?

People are really sheep to let this happen and not to revolt against it.  There is need for a Peoples' Rebellion against the dismal, dangerous political and economic disorder and injustices on this planet.  I hope that the heads of states meeting at the UN in September 2000 will receive a crystal clear strong message from the World's Peoples' Assembly meeting earlier in Samoa regarding a direct peoples' representation in the United Nations.

Happiness is in a star-studded sky
in a flower
in the eyes of a child
in the love of your spouse.

Now I see the secret of the
making of the best persons.
It is to grow in the open air and,
to eat and sleep with the earth.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II  Chapter2  Of Happiness
Happiness is an art. 
It must be practiced. 

It is like writing: 
write anything,
just for the exercise of it,
and you will become a writer. 

Practice any form of happiness,
just for the sake of it,
and you will become a happy person.

To be lasting,
an artist or writer must
be a prophet of good, hope, and happiness. 

They must deal with the
essentials of life and
give inspiration, uplifting, reassuring answers.

WORD FOR THE DAY
To be alive in this beautiful, self-organizing universe
 -- to participate in the dance of life
with senses to perceive it,
lungs that breathe it,
organs that draw nourishment from it --
is a wonder beyond words.

and often pure waste.

If you believe in happiness, you will find it. 
If you don't believe in happiness you will never find it. 
It is above all a question of belief, of commitment.

How could Faust seek happiness for so long when it was all around him and in him? 
Paradise is on Earth and in us. 

One just has to open one's eyes, hear it and feel it.

Israel and Iran: A Love Story?
The video: http://youtu.be/6Lp-NMaU0r8

When war between Israel and Iran seemed imminent, Israeli graphic designer Ronny Edry shared a poster on Facebook of himself and his daughter with a bold message: "Iranians ... we [heart] you." Other Israelis quickly created their own posters with the same message -- and Iranians responded in kind. The simple act of communication inspired surprising Facebook communities like "Israel loves Iran," "Iran loves Israel" and even "Palestine loves Israel."

[GMW #2425] World Movement of Optimism to Help Resolve World Issues

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1334 ~
6 March 1998
From a Costa Rican newspaper I learn that two young men in England have launched a National Movement for the Renaissance of Optimism. They consider that there is no problem in the country that cannot be resolved with optimism. The same is true of world problems. Perhaps we need a World Movement for the Renewal of Optimism. Having been given the epithet of Chief Optimist in Residence at the UN I would be delighted to be a Board Member.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 12 - Of Forgiveness
If all nations and religions could only forgive each other for their misgivings, misdeeds and killings, what a progress that would mean! See the Dismal Alphabet (Idea 3035 in Volume VIII of my 6000 Ideas and Dreams for a Better World)
