[GMW #4274] Sustainability, Nurturing Applied To All Sectors Of Economics

[GMW #4274] Sustainability, Nurturing Applied To All Sectors Of Economics Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4662 ~
During my studies of economics at Columbia University immediately after World War II we were told that since air and water were free they had no value and therefore had no place in economics.

Well, how wrong that statement is today! The water industry is a multi-billion dollar industry and the fresh air, oxygen industry will soon be too.

Question:
Which are our values of today which will be considered harmful and abnormal in fifty or in a hundred years? To live in overpopulated cities will almost certainly be a case.  To use excessively air travel and automobile transportation will be another.

The notion of sustainability is a new, very important factor to be applied to many sectors of economics.

Transmute all negatives into positives. All humans possess that magical, amazing power.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

[GMW #4218] USA - The United States Of Advertisement or Something Much Better

[GMW #4218] USA - The United States Of Advertisement or Something Much Better   Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000

The word USA might be more properly interpreted to mean the United States of Advertisement.

Refuse to live in homes, in schools, in factories, in offices, in hospitals without windows.

Do not let yourself be cut off from nature, the sun and the heavens.

We have a fundamental human right to sunlight, fresh air, nature and windows.

we hear a further call.

[GMW #4119] Being A 'Developed' Planet Or Nation Should Not Mean Destroying Parts Of Planet Earth

[GMW #4119] Being A 'Developed' Planet Or Nation Should Not Mean Destroying Parts Of Planet Earth   Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4509 ~
In the year 2050 we are expected to be 9 billion humans, 3 billion more than today; there will be tens of thousands of new products; innumerable new cars and airplanes; many more books, magazines and newspapers; innumerable computers and television sets; infinitely more telephone calls and electronic mail; world tourism; insurances for anything you can think of; but you will have to buy fresh water and carry oxygen bottles on our shoulders to breathe fresh air; the media will make sure to have exciting, especially bad news every day; advertisement will help you to buy more and more anything forever; the supermarkets will be sky-high hyper markets offering you, in addition to any products on Earth, sleeping facilities, movies and entertainment. Most surfaces of our planet, mountains, forests, rivers, seas and oceans will be occupied. There will be even cities on the seas and oceans and in the atmosphere.

Yes, dear humans you will have the greatest time on a 'developed', no longer primitive, but half destroyed planet Earth.

UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld and U Thant had different views regarding the allegiance of world servants:  for Dag Hammarskjöld world allegiance was the rule, superseding national allegiance.  U Thant for his part was allegiant to himself, to his family, to his culture, to his nation, but also to humanity and the Earth.  His belief in multiple allegiances is closer to the true reality of life, namely diversity in unity.

I love to watch the fine mist of the night come on,
The windows and the stars illumined, one by one,
The rivers of dark smoke pour upward lazily,
And the moon rise and turn them silver. I shall see
The springs, the summers, and the autumns slowly pass;
And when old Winter puts his blank face to the glass,
I shall close all my shutters, pull the curtains tight,
And build me stately palaces by candlelight.

~ William O. Douglas

[GMW #3989] These Will Be - A Hundred Years From Now

[GMW #3989] These Will Be - A Hundred Years From Now Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4382 ~ 
In a hundred years humanity will look back at our current world situation with the same disbelief as we look at that of a hundred years ago. There will be: 
- a just Earth government
- a world democracy
- a contained, stabilized world population
- a contained, stabilized world consumption
- simple, frugal living world-wide
- ample fresh air, clear waters, nourishing food and adequate lodging for all humans
- world education for all
- an adequate income for all
- a reforested planet
- a happy, well-preserved, restored, wonderful nature

- new world institutions and Ministries
of Peace
of the Earth
of Cooperation
of Happiness
of the Future
of Spirituality
of Hope
of Honesty
of Love
of Forgiveness
of Longevity
of Ethics
etc.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I - The Great Scene of Creation
Chapter 1 Our Place in the Universe

Humanity fully depends on the sun and on this Earth for living.
Hence we must respect our star and our planet, cherish them and treat them as sacred.

And yet, we seem to have lost contact with them. We sleep and no longer pray when the sun rises. We live imprisoned in cities of steel and cement. We hear radio and watch television instead of contemplating Mother Earth's nature and her wondrous gifts.

We are mistaken.  We are on a wrong trail, as our Indian brothers say.  We should make daily offerings to the sun and to the Earth and say with our brethren and sisters in the monasteries: 

"This is a good day to live and to glorify God."

It is not light that we need, but fire;
it is not the gentle shower, but thunder.
We need the storm, the whirlwind,
and the earthquake.
