[GMW #3145] To Make Positive Changes Rich Should Live Like The Poor For Six Months


[GMW #3145] To Make Positive Changes Rich Should Live Like The Poor For Six Months
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3545 ~
From Adrian O'Barr, one of our grandchildren
(10 years old):

Every rich person in the rich countries who think that they are so great should go and live for three to six months in a poor country and live like the poor and then come home and do something about it.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 14 Of Writing
When I was a refugee student at a college in the city of Lyon, a famous professor of literature gave us to write an essay on "natural style". We all failed.

He then explained to us with a story what he expected: at the Court of Louis XIV there was a Marquis who, when he was invited to a Court reception, spent hours in front of a mirror to arrange the folds of his jabot - a large neck garment of lace. When he arrived at the Court, everybody exclaimed: Monsieur le Marquis, comme votre jabot est naturel", how natural your jabot is!"

It is the same with style.

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.
