Multiplied by 185 countries, this would yield a capital of 18 and a half million dollars which would produce at say 3 percent of revenue a yearly prize of 555,000 dollars. I proposed elsewhere that the UN should establish a whole series of world prizes for great causes, easily financed by a community of 185 nations. The money could come from a reduction of military expenses. Let us open an unprecedented era of world prizes for good causes and achievements given by the United Nations and its agencies. A Committee of the UN should study this idea and start with giving out the first prizes in the year 2000. It also shows what wonderful things could be achieved if nations would put some of their resources in common. Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 5 - Of Love Love is the great transcending force of attraction which alone can break the nemesis of war and violence. You attract what you love. You repulse what you dislike or hate. It cannot be otherwise. You are the master, a miracle-maker or disaster-maker, a good-maker or an evil-maker.

It is measured in the legacy we leave behind for those we love and those we inspire. Cesar Chavez Eulogy for Rufino Contreras Calexico, CA, Feb. 14, 1979 Books recommended by Robert are here.
