[GMW #2188] World Communications For A Greater World Union, Understanding, Peace And Democracy

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500

~ Idea 1470 ~ 20 July 1998

We have chanted the advent of world communications as a herald of greater world union, understanding, peace and democracy.

Alas, there is also a negative side, namely governments, business and powerful institutions have acquired a good part of the means of communication and use them to program the people with their views and objectives.

We must congratulate UNESCO for having established a Panel of Eminent Personalities on Democracy under the chairmanship of the former Secretary General of the UN, Mr. Boutros Ghali. I will send him my ideas on this subject excerpted from these 2000 ideas.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 4 - Of Positive Living
I am usually at my best, very positive, optimistic when I wake up at sunrise, after a good night of sleep. And I am often pessimistic, even sometimes depressed in the evening. Barbara, my wonderful, loving wife then gives me these two remedies:

when I am only pessimistic, she asks me to seize one of my ten volumes of 4000 Ideas and Dreams for a Better World and to read a few pages. This lifts me up and makes me optimistic again for the rest of the evening;

when I am depressed, she asks me: "Are you very depressed?" and when I answer, yes I am terribly depressed, she responds: "I am so glad to hear it, because when you are very depressed it gives birth during the night to many new, good ideas which you tell me the following morning, and you write them down and include them in your next 1000 ideas! So, do not worry about your depressions. They have a very good, positive, fruitful reason."
