[GMW #3587] Sons Should Never Be Asked To Kill The Sons Of Other Mothers


[GMW #3587] Sons Should Never Be Asked To Kill The Sons Of Other Mothers Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 3982 ~
On Mother's Day the mothers of the world should claim the fundamental human right that their sons should never be asked to kill the sons of other mothers, not in the name of a nation, of a religion nor of anyone else.

I hope that some day somewhere on this planet there will be founded a University of Altruism, Philanthropy and Gaiaphily.

Philanthropy (love for humans) must be accompanied by gaiaphily (love for Gaia, our Mother Earth).  Local and national philanthropy must vastly extend into world philanthropy and gaiaphily.

WORD FOR THE DAY
Optimism is a strategy for making a better future.
Because unless you believe that the future can be better,
you are unlikely to
step up and take responsibility for making it so.

[GMW #2729] Humanity Lovers & Earth Lovers For A Better World For Everyone - People & Nature



[GMW #2729] Humanity Lovers & Earth Lovers For A Better World For Everyone - People & Nature
Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3122 ~
I recommend that the word philanthropy be translated from its Greek meaning (phil: love and anthropos: the human being) into common language of today namely, love for humanity.  A philanthropist would be a humanity lover.  Love for the Earth being a recent phenomenon, the Greeks had no word for it.  I did it for them and coined the word Gaiaphily, love for Gaia, the Earth in Greek. 

But much better would be simply love for the Earth.  A philanthropist or gaiaphilist giving resources to preserve the Earth would be called an Earth lover.  So we would have humanity lovers and Earth lovers and some people could be both.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 3 Of Consciousness
An organ is only justified by its function.  No organ survives if its function disappears.  What are the functions of our organs?  Why were they given to us?  What is the function meant for the human race on this planet?  If we do not find out, we will disappear. 

The answer in my view is to be responsible for the future evolution of planet Earth.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1501 to 2000
~ Idea 1598 ~ 25 November 1998

Since industries and business have provided immense benefits to humans but often at the detriment of the Earth which was taken for granted and unlimited, I recommend that industrialists, businessmen and corporations who have become immensely rich engage into a vast world movement of philanthropy (love for humanity) and gaiaphily (love for Gaia, our Earth) to redress the inequities in the human society and to insure the good preservation and restoration of the Earth.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II  Chapter 2  Of Happiness
"Happiness consists in the attainment of our desires, and in our having only right desires."
Saint Augustine
On the whole, given the colossal mysteries and difficulties of life on our planet, humans behave pretty well and are surprisingly meek and content.  This is not the product of our will.  It is a built-in characteristic of the human race.

Generation WE: The Movement Begins...

"We, the youth of the United States, believe our birthright has been betrayed," declares the Millennial Generation, the largest generation in American history, to date. They inherit a country in decline and a broken political system. Still, America's young people declares a manifesto of hope - to restore the American dream.

[GMW #2432] Foster Solutions of Global Problems with Generous Philanthropy & Gaiaphily

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1366 ~
7 April 1998
Philanthropists and gaiaphilists should give priority to global philanthropy and gaiaphily to foster the solution of global problems, the most recent, unprecedented, urgent and potentially catastrophic, terminal ones. They should help the convening of major world conferences and the creation or strengthening of new, vitally needed global institutions and legislations.

Thus, the University for Peace in Costa Rica was created with one million dollars donated by Ryoichi Sasakawa from Japan. He has his statue on the grounds of this first University for peace on this planet. Mr. Sasakawa also funded the yearly UNESCO Peace Education Prize. Ted Turner's philanthropy to the UN is also an example.

Please philanthropists and gaiaphilists take inspiration from them. World philanthropy will give you maximum world visibility and enduring fame.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 12 - Of Forgiveness
ohn Denver, the famous American singer and humanist, once stopped in Costa Rica and visited me in my modest farmhouse on Mt. Rasur. He was undertaking a world tour to sing for hope to young people. At one point he left the terrace where we were sitting to go inside the house. He took some time to come back and said to me: "Dear Robert, you have rendered me a great service." I expressed surprise and he said: "I read your poem Decide to Forgive affixed on a wall. It has rendered me a great service. I was desperate because my Australian wife left me and returned to her country with our little daughter. I was crushed. Your poem gave me the answer: I forgive her and will continue to love her."

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1131 ~ 15 August 1997
Here in the hamlet of El Rodeo, the seat of the University for Peace, the schoolchildren collect aluminum cans for recycling against a small recompense. When I keep aluminum cans for them or pick them up during my cleaning up of "the cleanest mile on Earth" between my little farmhouse and the University for Peace, I remember this information on aluminum cans:

• When one tosses out one aluminum can one wastes as much energy as if one filled the same can half full of gasoline and poured it onto the ground.

• If one throws away an aluminum can, it will still litter the Earth up to 500 years.

• In 1988 alone, aluminum can recycling saved more than 11 billion kilowatt hours of electricity, enough to supply the residential needs of New York City for six months.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 5 - Of Love
We need not only philanthropy (phil, anthropos, love for humans), but also gaiaphily (gaia, the Greek goddess Earth, love for Mother Earth). And why not also familyphily (love of the family), egophily (love for the self) and ecophily or earthphily (love for Earth and of her nature)?
