Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1376 ~    17 April 1998

National parks?  After having invented zoos to park animals and reserves to park indigenous people, our so-called western "civilization" has now invented reserves to park nature!  Western man always finds ways to overcome obstacles to his own, stubborn conquering, greedy ways.  But this time it is his final attempt, because the destruction of the Earth and of his own are at stake.

Let us make the whole Earth a well-preserved paradise and put industries and commerce into restricted "parks".  In other words nature first everywhere and economic activities in limited confines.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 4 - Of Positive Living
There is a deep happiness in the expectation of a forthcoming happiness.  This is part of individual futurology. 

Humans have the wonderful capacity to look ahead, to live in the future, to expect and to plan. 

This is a manifestation of the will for life. 

Our expectations of the future are much more positive than negative:  if not, the certainty of death would destroy all our efforts and illusions. 

Humans are fundamentally a positive species.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 295 ~ 1 May 1995

A World conference on Simple and Frugal Living should be convened by the United Nations in order to save the Earth's resources from over-consumption, non-replacement and depletion as a result of unnecessary human greed, monumental waste, marketing, advertisement, built-in obsolescence and excessive packaging.

It is about time that we publish not only population statistics but also consumption statistics. Thus the population of the poor countries stands at 4.5 billion people and that of the rich countries at 1.2. But the latter consume per person thirty times more Earth resources than the former. As a result, in terms of pressure on resources, the rich population amounts in reality to 36 billion people.

Which part of the world then must be considered overpopulated?

Volume III Chapter 6 The Rich Age

The Hindus call old age the period of vanaprashta, the preparation for the beyond. In their view, the last goal of life should be to become a sanyassin, a guru (teacher), a holy person, a saint. What a wise philosophy that is!

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth
find reserves of strength that will endure
