The decline of the western
population of 40 million to the year
2050 might be compensated by an
increasing number of immigrants.
This is especially the case of the
United States which will have
considerable immigrants from Latin
America, especially Mexico and will
be able to maintain at least the
level of its population.

Several
years ago, one
day, walking
from the UN
with a dear
friend, Janis
Rozé,
representing a
Non-governmental Organization at the UN, he asked me if I had an idea
for a new
venture his
organization
could
undertake. I
thought it
over and said
to him that
what was very
needed these
days was to
give hope to
the people.
Why not create
an Institute
for the
Science of
Hope? He liked
the idea,
submitted it
to his
colleagues and
a Center for a
Science of
Hope* was
created in New
York City in
1986, to my
great delight.
I have received since then, in addition to their HopeWatch magazine, a remarkable book Aspects of Hope (1993), which has on its back this statement of mine: "In all my writings I have advocated for years that we should apply scientific methods to the study of bold concepts modeled by humanity over the millennia to keep it on an upward path, concepts such as hope, love, beauty, joy, happiness, faith. Scientists shy away from them because they do not lend themselves so easily to scientific investigation. But if we try, we will discover many things." In 1982 I had already written a book entitled Planet of Hope with chapters on the Span of Life, the Four Cardinal Virtues, Writing and Speaking, Our Growth and Evolution, Work for Peace and the Birth of a Global Age. In 1990 this was followed by a volume of Dialogues of Hope with various personalities on three subjects: Political Hope, Spiritual Hope and Individual Hope. Alas, these books are out of print. Perhaps someday they will be republished in The Classics of Robert Muller, planned by my wife Barbara.

A teacher
comes, they
say, when you
are ready.
And if you ignore their presence, they will speak to you more loudly. But you have to be quiet to hear. ~ Robin Wall Kimmerer More from Robert Muller: RobertMuller.org Subscribe to/or unsubscribe from Robert Muller's GoodMorningWorld.org Click on any of these tags-labels to see more entries from Robert that have the tag-label: |
