A
remembrance by Ambassador Hoveyda from
Iran: when he came to New York in 1949
as a young diplomat of the Iranian
Mission to the UN he was utterly
astonished that the price of a barrel
of petroleum exported by his country
was that of a hamburger! Well, fifty
years later, in 2000 the head of the
Organization of Petroleum Exporting
Countries, on the occasion of a price
increase of petroleum made this
comparison: the price of a barrel of
petroleum (159 liters) is twenty-six
dollars while a barrel of Coca Cola
costs seventy-eight dollars and a
barrel of cognac $7,800.

WORD FOR THE
DAY
Someday, after we have mastered the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love. Then for the second time in the history of the world, we will have discovered fire. ~ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 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: |
