[GMW #2862] Human Rights Are Given To Mothers By The Miracle Of Life


[GMW #2862]  Human Rights Are Given To Mothers By The Miracle Of Life Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3257 ~
When the human rights of mothers will be taken up by the United Nations the following should be considered, as so often proposed:

- the right of mothers not to see their newborn children die and suffer from disease, hunger and poverty
- the right of mothers not to see the flesh of their flesh forced to kill the flesh of the flesh of other mothers
- the right not to see their sons forced to be trained to kill other young people in wars


Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I  Chapter 3  Our Genial Human Family
What have reason, science, art, love, religion, poetry and philosophy in common?  They all wish to be king, but in reality none can be it.
What then is the ultimate motor of human ascent?  Is it the will for life?  Happiness?  The fulfillment of life?  Union with God?  Supreme consciousness?
Why has the universe or God or evolution created human life?
What can be my satisfactory answers to these momentous questions?  I do not know, but of one thing I am sure:  my reason, my science, my art, my love, my religion, my poetry and my philosophy are all a hymn of praise to the splendor of Creation and to the miracle of life.

WORD FOR THE DAY

So much of modern life is a feverish anticipation of
future activity and excitement.
We have to learn to step back from this
into the freedom and possibility of the present.

[GMW #2861] The Rights Of Mother Earth, Of Her Nature And Her Elements


[GMW #2861] The Rights Of Mother Earth, Of Her Nature And Her Elements Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3256 ~
The celebration of the year 2000 and our entry into a new century and millennium are an ideal occasion to make a comprehensive review of the rights of all human groups on Earth.  Here are a few which still require utmost attention:

- the human rights of the poorest of the world
- the human rights of the handicapped
- the human rights of youth
- the human rights of mothers
- the human rights of the family
- the human rights of the elderly

In addition, thanks be to God a new chapter has been opened, namely the rights of Mother Earth, of her nature and of her elements.  The Earth Charter drafted by the Earth Council (see its text in Annex of Volume VI) has been submitted by the United Nations to all governments.  In addition, as I've pointed out in Idea 1970, we must work on a whole series of particular charters for outer space, our future evolution, the atmosphere, the seas and oceans, world water, world species', the Earth forest covers and vegetation, the Earth's top soils, mountain areas, the world's great lakes, arid and semi-arid zones, the Arctic and Antarctic and for islands.  The same procedure was followed after the Universal Declaration of Human Rights when charters for children's rights, women's rights, indigenous rights, racial equality, etc. were undertaken.

It is interesting that in the 1950's we were only concerned with human progress and protection.  The Earth was taken for granted, but now at the beginning of the 21st century and third millennium she has gained equal if not first priority.  These new efforts together with the implementation of human rights and the appearance of human responsibilities and duties represent a very remarkable progress of humanity.  It is a hopeful sign that humans can succeed and find their right relationships between themselves, with the Earth, with the heavens and with time.


Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I  Chapter 3  Our Genial Human Family
Intellectual qualities are superior to physical qualities; moral qualities are superior to intellectual qualities; and spiritual qualities are the highest of all.  This is borne out by our daily observations:  a person endowed with a good physique and a fine mind is superior to one having only a good body; a person who has also good moral qualities is superior to the former; and most admirable is he or she who has a good physique, a great intelligence, a good heart and a soul in communion with all humanity, with God and the universe.

The same is true of any social group, from the family to the entire human race.  Our present human family is still very imperfect because:

- it has not yet assured good physical lives to all its 6 billion members:  more than a billion still go hungry;
- it has not yet provided for good mental lives for all:  there are still 800 million illiterates;
- it has not yet become a moral world:  there are still many wars, injustices, inequalities, violence, hatred, lies, miseducation, misinformation, corruption and dishonesty on our planet;
- it is not yet a spiritual world:  we have mostly earthly, materialistic concerns and seldom lift our minds, hearts and souls to the universe and to the eternal stream of time.

Humanity has still a good way to go.

[GMW #2860] Nobel Peace Prize For Eliminating Borders Between Countries

[GMW #2860] Nobel Peace Prize For Eliminating Borders Between Countries Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3255 ~
As I pointed out in My Testament to the UN  the United Nations cannot be as bad as certain obstinate, conservative groups claim it to be, since it has received a dozen of Nobel Peace Prizes.

If Alfred Nobel came back to Earth he would rejoice but would probably ask why the European Union, the second greatest progress since his death, has not received a Nobel Peace Prize.  The abolition of borders between fifteen countries of Europe including the most warring ones, namely France and Germany, would very much merit the Prize.

I have thirty trillion cells in my body but my entire being is only one cell in a human family of 6 billion people.  The total biomass of humanity consists of thirty trillion cells multiplied 6 billion times!

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
~ Dalai Lama

5 Reasons to be Kind
In a dominant paradigm weighted towards self-interest and self-orientation, we must make a special effort to question our mode of being. Can we afford to be narrowly self-focused? Can we grow to anywhere near our true potential if we look out only for ourselves? What role do kindness and compassion play in bridging a world that is growing increasingly fragmented? What follows are five powerful reasons to be kind, articulated by some of the greatest minds and hearts from around the globe.

[GMW #2859] Creating A United States Of The World - World Union - United Earth


[GMW #2859] Creating A United States Of The World - World Union - United Earth Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3254 ~
I was so happy that following an idea in my opening speech to the Second World Parliament of Religions in 1993, Bishop William Swing of Grace Cathedral took during the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the United Nations in San Francisco the initiative to create a United Religions similar to the United Nations.  After his visit with Archbishop Desmond Tutu to major religious leaders around the world the United Religions Initiative Charter was signed on 26 June 2000, the anniversary of the signing of the United Nations Charter.  Bishop Swing must be congratulated as the founder of that new world organization.

I hope and pray that a similar initiative will be taken to create a United States of the World or a World Union or a United Earth.  May such an initiative be taken during the UN/UNESCO Culture of Peace and Non-violence World Campaign 2000 to 2010.

All too often many entities and groups are created, led and promoted by individuals who are unable to fulfill themselves as simple, great human beings, members of one human family under the rule of God.

WORD FOR THE DAY
It is not a question of whether you "have what it takes,"
but of whether you take the gifts you have
 -- they are plenteous --
and share them with all the world.

[GMW #2858] To Be Good Earth Servants & Caretakers Be Saintly Servers Of The Earth


[GMW #2858] To Be Good Earth Servants & Caretakers Be Saintly Servers Of The Earth Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3253 ~
Since we are 100% Earth (70% water and 30% Earth matter) not to mention the oxygen provided to us day and night, it is our obligation, our sacred duty to take good care of the great miracle our loving Mother Earth is.  To be good Earth servants and caretakers has become more than to be economists, business people, financiers, bankers, advertisers and marketers.  We should be saintly servers of the Earth.


Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I  Chapter 3  Our Genial Human Family
Please, governments, give us peace so that we may enjoy the miracle of life;
please, governments, suppress your ugly armaments so that our children might sleep in peace and all human beings on this planet have bread and schools;
please, governments, work together to manage this planet for the benefit and happiness of all;
please, governments, do not interfere with but fulfill our basic needs.

I never saw a discontented tree.

They grip the ground as though they liked it, and
 though fast rooted
they travel about as far as we do.

They go wandering forth in all directions with every wind,

going and coming like ourselves,

traveling with us around the
 sun two million miles a day,

and through space heaven knows how 
fast and far!

~ John Muir

[GMW #2857] Annual Better World Reports To Inspire & Nurture - Edited By Poets, Elders, Indigenous


[GMW #2857] Annual Better World Reports To Inspire & Nurture - Edited By Poets, Elders, Indigenous Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3252 ~
The yearly States of the World Reports and States of the Nations Reports should be less dry, less academic.  They should have an echo with the people and be written as much with the heart and soul as with the brain.  One seldom finds the words love and happiness in them.  Before being published they should be read and be given more feelings, more beauty, more hope, more inspiration and encouragement by poets, elders and indigenous people who know that the Earth and human life are true miracles.


Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I  Chapter 3  Our Genial Human Family
If the human body ceases to grow why should humanity ceaselessly grow, the world economy grow, production grow, construction grow, consumption grow, transportation grow, dissatisfaction grow, waste grow, the destruction of nature grow?  Why don't we follow the example of nature which changes slowly?  Why are we in such a hurry?  If we grow at four percent a year for the next two hundred years, this planet will be finished.  We want already population not to increase.  Why do we want economic development to grow, especially in the rich countries?  Why do we not reduce the injustices between the poor and the rich?
