This new right should also be put on the agenda of the UN Human Rights Commission, supplementary to the great new work on an Earth Charter. Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 4 - Of Positive Living To look down is to succumb to vertigo. To look up is to be able to climb.

It is something they learn by seeing it modeled by others. --Jacqui Rivait Fact of the Day:  Human
behaviors are often explained as hard-wired evolutionary leftovers of
life on the savannah or during the Stone Age. But a study of one very
modern behavior, fairness toward total strangers one will never meet
again, suggests it evolved recently, and is rooted in culture rather
than biology. In a series of behavioral tests given to 2,100 people in
societies around the world (from hunter-gatherers to wage laborers), an
innate sense of fairness dovetailed with participation in markets and
major religions. "You can't get the effects we're seeing from genes,"
notes evolutionary psychologist Joe Henrich. "These are things you
learn as a consequence of growing up in a particular place." [ more ]
