Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1308 ~
8 February 1998
The day will soon come when no one will be able to find a pound of sugar, or salt or flour in a food store. Marketing which is taught in Universities to the intelligentsia of young business people will make sure that everything is sold at higher prices in small packages, flasks and containers. Salt is being sold in small salt shakers with garlic taste, cinnamon taste and a whole series of other tastes. This is one more subject for the World Consumers Agency to tackle.

Volume II Chapter 11 - Of Gratitude
In the end, it is all a question of joyful understanding and surrender to the greatness of God and His Creation.

Daily Good
We have guided missiles and misguided men.
-- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ~~~~ Good News of the Day: "We have not yet learned to make use of our most civilizing capacities: the creativity and wisdom we all have as our birthright. When even one person comes into full possession of these capacities, our problems are shown in their true light: they are simply the results of avoidable -- though deadly -- errors of judgment. Gandhi formulated a series of diagnoses of the modern world's seemingly perpetual state of crisis, which he called 'the seven social sins.' I prefer to think of them as seven social ailments, since the problems they address are not crimes calling for punishment but crippling diseases that are punishment enough in themselves. The first -- and the one we will focus on here -- is knowledge without character. It traces all our difficulties to a simple lack of connection between what we know is good for us and our ability to act on that knowledge." The late Gandhian scholar Eknath Easwaran shares further. http://premiere.whatcounts.com/t?ctl=16A692D:7ABA61CC19AE219F26BA82C4B32266E7B4B847859706E37D& ~~~~ Be The Change: "I believe that what self-centered men have torn down, men other-centered can build up. [...] I still believe that we shall overcome." An inspiring passage from MLK's Nobel acceptance speech. http://premiere.whatcounts.com/t?ctl=16A692E:7ABA61CC19AE219F26BA82C4B32266E7B4B847859706E37D&

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 1265 ~    27 December 1997

There is a good degree of overpricing of products, of untruths in advertisement, of unethical and health impairing ingredients in food sold on this planet, that in addition to the creation of a World Consumers Agency, I recommend also the creation of a World Court for Consumers protection.  Advertisement of cigarettes and tobacco products is one of the first items to be brought before it.  Alcohol should be next.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 15 - Of Beauty and Art
A Chilean delegate who was a friend of Picasso once asked him: "Why did you give up your blue period, when you painted so well, for the art you do now?"
He answered: "Because my blue, classical paintings did not sell.  The junk I do now sells."

Perhaps modern art was invented by art dealers who could not find enough good paintings and sculptures by great artists.

 WORD FOR THE DAY

The love of one's country is a natural thing.
But why should love stop at the border?
