[GMW #4639]Cultivate Hope And Optimism

[GMW #4639]Cultivate Hope And Optimism
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000

~ Idea 6024 to 6028~
A few quotations from my compatriot Albert Schweitzer from Alsace-Lorraine, a province of France on the border with Germany.

Idea 6024  “When I am asked if I am a pessimist or an optimist I answer: my knowledge is pessimistic, but my will and hope are optimistic.”

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II - The Art of Personal Happy Living
Chapter 10 - Of Dreams, Visions and Ideals

I am surrounded in my office by busts of famous peacemakers: Jesus, Gandhi, Schweitzer, Dag Hammarskjöld, U Thant, Saint Francis. Why? Because I want them to inspire me. If I were surrounded by busts of Nero, Gengis Khan, Napoleon, Stalin and Hitler, I would be a different person.

Similarly, in Peace Park of the UN University for Peace in Costa Rica, students and professors are surrounded by busts, statues and images of the world's greatest peacemakers to continue their work and keep their dreams alive.

[GMW #4585] Happiness, Hope, Peace And Justice - The Main Objectives Of Government

[GMW #4585] Happiness, Hope, Peace And Justice - The Main Objectives Of Government Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000

~ Idea 4971 ~
Humans do not seem to look more beautiful and happier than they were when I was young. They rather look the opposite. Governments would be well advised to consider happiness, hope, peace and justice the main objectives of government.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living
Volume II - The Art of Personal Happy Living
Chapter 4 - Of Spirituality

It is easy for a priest, a saint, a guru, a rishi sitting in a church, in a temple, in a wood, in an ashram, in a retreat or a place of pilgrimage to preach the people and their disciples. It is much more difficult to be a holy person or a guru in the midst of a world of miseries and action.

As Dag Hammarskjöld said:

"In our time the way to holiness goes through the world of action."
