They consider that there is no problem in the country that cannot be resolved with optimism. The same is true of world problems. Perhaps we need a World Movement for the Renewal of Optimism. Having been given the epithet of Chief Optimist in Residence at the UN I would be delighted to be a Board Member.

They are right: there are so many global issues, institutions, hopes and perils on this planet, that UNESCO should establish a World Commission of Eminent Personalities on Global Education. A World University of Global Education should also be created. I am ready to design its program and structure and to be a member of its Board to continue meriting my title of Father of Global Education given to me in the 1960ies. Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 12 - Of Forgiveness If one really loves someone or something, one must at least be ready to forgive, if not love their shortcomings. I have applied this rule to my love for humanity and for the UN. Why should I insist on a perfect planet, a perfect humanity, a perfect UN, a perfect wife and perfect children, when I myself am not perfect?

[GMW #2421] Earth and Humanity Organization including Responsibilities and Duties with Human Rights

[GMW #2421] Earth and Humanity Organization including Responsibilities and Duties with Human Rights Friday 23 March 2012, Editor: Easy | RobertMuller.org | Contact | Subscribe | Unsubscribe | Biography | World Core Curriculum | Store | NEW Facebook | Twitter | GMW Blogs: English | Portuguese | Spanish | Tagalog | Dutch | Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500 ~ Idea 1317 ~ 17 February 1998 There is now a very strong current in the world that to human rights should be added human responsibilities and duties. This will come up strongly at the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights this year. For the first time also in human history we will have an Earth Charter which defines the "rights" of the Earth, i.e. our duties towards her. All this leads me to conclude that henceforth the best economics in the world is to take into full account the value, preservation and proper management and renewal of our Earth. Perhaps in order to bring this closer to the people we should change the names ecology and economics (Greek oikos, logos and nomos, knowledge, and management of the home) to Earthology (science or knowledge of the Earth) and Earth management. In the political language we should replace world government by Earth government and the United Nations Organization by Earth and Humanity Organization. The Charter of the UN does not mention once the words Earth, nature and ecology. This shows the dramatic changes which have taken place since World War II. An entirely new philosophy (love of wisdom) and ideology (science of ideas) are being born on this planet. Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 12 - Of Forgiveness Dear God, please forgive me for not having loved life and your Creation as I should have. What a misguided fool I was! How I will regret it in my tomb! God: "Do not worry, dear son, you will have all the time to do a lot of good from heaven. I will use you to the brim."

The results would be eye openers. It would show something similar to the statistic that there are: 556 militaries per 100,000 inhabitants of this planet. 85 doctors 1 world servant What a poor image of our 20th century! Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 11 - Of Gratitude The best proof that we love ourselves is that we forgive ourselves so easily, while we forgive others so reluctantly. Don't our human brothers and sisters deserve the same willingness to be forgiven? It would be a much better world if we could practice equal readiness to forgive.

[GMW #2365] World Mountain Agency Vital Role

This reminds me of my idea in which I say how wonderful it would be to have a Himalayan Forum, an Andes Forum, a Rocky Mountains Forum, an Alps Forum as we have the Arctic Forum conceived by governor Walter Hickel of Alaska. The mountain areas of our planet merit the creation of a World Mountain Agency considering their vital role in weather formation, water sources, forest cover, health areas and places of prophecies closer to God. Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 11 - Of Gratitude -from My Spiritual Journey Then came World War II. We were refugees twice. The Nazis occupied us. I had many adventures because I did not want to serve in the German army. I experienced German prison. I was a partisan, a member of de Gaulle's mountain fighters in France. I saw the most horrible acts between two white, highly civilized countries. There was no spirituality in all that. But there was an incident which I have never forgotten: we had captured a group of French people who had collaborated with the Germans. They were condemned to death. When they were taken to their place of execution in the woods where they had been forced to dig their graves, I saw the men protest, throwing themselves on the ground, having to be pulled by their legs. But there was one woman who walked in peace, praying. When she was shot she was reciting the Hail Mary and her last words before falling into her grave were to forgive us. I finished her prayer and never forgot her example of deep spirituality.

He is a coordinator of the campaign for 24 hours of peace on January 1, 2000. GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP 2000 The 1000 Day Launch On April 4-6, 1997 the Global Citizenship 2000 Youth Congress launched a 1000 day countdown of creative work on projects designed to care for the Earth and all its life. It was a spectacular start, held in the magnificent concourse of the Vancouver Public Library, on the most important agenda the world has ever known. The youth delegates embraced their task with enthusiasm and commitment. On that occasion the following Earth Day Proclamation was circulated to the students and all participants and invited guests for signature. It is hoped that innumerable people around the world will sign it. The Earth Proclamation We are One people We are One planet We have One common dream We want to live in peace We choose to protect and heal the Earth We decide to create a better world for all We will do our best to make that dream come true We will change what needs to be changed We learn to love, share and forgive We are One people, we want to live and we will. Personal Commitment I, the Undersigned, aware that human activities are seriously endangering the fragile ecosystems of our planet, aware of the widening gap between the haves and the have-nots, aware of the need to redirect my energies to protect and restore the global Web of Life, decide to begin right now to rethink my ways and values, and change what needs to be changed in myself and around me. I want the year 2000 – for a new beginning – to be the turning point in the local and global efforts now underway to create a better world based on equality, justice and a sustainable planet; a sustainable world in which Peace on Earth prevails. Understanding that we are all individually responsible for the kind of future we will create for our children and for countless generations to come, I will participate in initiatives, locally and globally, to transform our world and protect this Jewel of Life we call Earth. I agree with this Earth Proclamation and personally commit myself to do all that I can to spread it throughout the world and help make our shared dream of Peace, Love and Harmony on Earth come true. Signed on the 6th of April, 1997 Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 5 - Of Love Perhaps only through love and transcendence can we get close to perceiving the ultimate mysteries of life and of the universe.

It tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that we see ourselves as we really are. - Arthur Golden - 3 Lessons From A Collapsed Lung "At the start of my junior year at USC, my left lung spontaneously collapsed unexpectedly. After being admitted to the ER, I spent four days at the Good Samaritan Hospital with a uncomfortable chest tube jutting out of my body. This was my first, real, and personal encounter of the true fragility of life: the fact that I could possess perfect health one day then instantly have to cling on for dear life the next - without any warning whatsoever. I recovered quickly, and I did my best to learn the lessons from this challenging but extremely revealing experience. Lessons like: being grateful for good health, keeping a powerfully positive attitude, and living life fully each day. So, just five weeks later, with no tubes to hold me back, I made a huge turnaround by seizing my dream of walking-on to the USC football team." Social entrepreneur Bronson Chang shares an inspiring personal story. { read more } Be The Change Approach the next adversity you face, no matter how minor it is, with gratitude, positivity, and fulfillment.
