Thank you, dear Jay for implementing my idea. The truth is that to come up with the idea took me only a little time, but to implement it took you an enormous time. Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 11 - Of Gratitude Let us make our world a world of giving and thanking instead of wanting and complaining.

[GMW #2392] Education for a Happy, Fulfilled Life

| [GMW #2392] Education for a Happy, Fulfilled Life Monday 13 February 2012, Editor: Easy| RobertMuller.org | Contact | Subscribe | Unsubscribe | Biography | World Core Curriculum | Store | NEW Facebook | Twitter | GMW Blogs: English | Portuguese | Spanish | Tagalog | Dutch | ~ Idea 1257 ~ The main purpose of education should not be to give children skills to "compete" and to "succeed" in life, but to lead a happy, fulfilled life. But where on Earth is that taught? It is at least in the handful of 33 Robert Muller schools. 19 December 1997 Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 11 - Of Gratitude Humanity fully depends on the sun and on this Earth for life, hence the need to respect and thank our star and our planet, to cherish them, and see them as sacred. And yet, we seem to have lost contact with them. We sleep and no longer pray and give thanks when the sun rises. We live in cities of stone and cement. We watch television and hear radio instead of contemplating nature and listening to her beautiful sounds. We should make daily offerings to the sun and to the Earth and say with the psalmists: "This is a good day to live, to glorify and to give thanks to God." UN News Sources - UN Chronicle, United Nations News Service , UN Wire News Archive References: Earth Charter, Universal Declaration of Human Rights Rights of: Children, Women, Indigenous People To Be Written: Rights of Nature, Birds, Animals, Fish, etc. WORD FOR THE DAY If there is anything I have learned about men and women, it is that there is a deeper spirit of altruism than is ever evident. Just as the rivers we see are minor compared to the underground streams, so, too, the idealism that is visible is minor compared to what people carry in their hearts unreleased or scarcely released. -- Dr. Albert Schweitzer Books recommended by Robert are here.

[GMW #2391] Living Lightly and Gently With Planet Earth
| [GMW #2391] Living Lightly and Gently With Planet Earth Friday 10 February 2012, Editor: Easy| RobertMuller.org | Contact | Subscribe | Unsubscribe | Biography | World Core Curriculum | Store | NEW Facebook | Twitter | GMW Blogs: English | Portuguese | Spanish | Tagalog | Dutch | ~ Idea 1256 ~ I observe that the firms of the rich countries are exporting frenetically bad consumption habits to the poor countries. Where the latter used to consume a large variety of healthy fruit juices (naturales as they call them in Costa Rica) and local foods, today it is fashionable to drink carbonated sugared drinks, to eat hamburgers and to smoke American cigarettes. 18 December 1997 In locally made clothes they put labels "Made in America", because through advertisement which is cheap here, the people are programmed to crave for American products. A US citizen consumes 30 times what a person in a poor country consumes and leaves behind during a lifetime a mountain of garbage 4000 times his weight, against 150 times the weight of a person in a poor country. From the point of view of the Earth, while there is a population explosion in the poor countries, there is a worse consumption explosion in the rich ones. There are today 4.4 billion people in the poor countries and 1.2 billion in the rich. But the Earth could complain and say: since you the rich consume thirty times more of my resources, I consider that you represent thirty times 1.2 people, i.e. a population of 36 billion. And if the poor countries should someday have the same consumption levels and patterns as the rich countries, their 4.4 billion would have to be multiplied by 30, yielding a total of 132 billion! As you live your daily lives in the US and in other rich countries, you do not see this. But when you look at it from a world point of view, it is a major problem. Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 11 - Of Gratitude What riches I can and do extract from the mere fact of being alive! No wealth on Earth can ever match the worth of the miracle of life. Hence the need to ceaselessly express our immense gratitude to God. UN News Sources - UN Chronicle, United Nations News Service , UN Wire News Archive References: Earth Charter, Universal Declaration of Human Rights Rights of: Children, Women, Indigenous People To Be Written: Rights of Nature, Birds, Animals, Fish, etc. WORD FOR THE DAY We have thousands of opportunities every day to be grateful: for having good weather, to have slept well last night, to be able to get up, to be healthy, to have enough to eat. ... There's opportunity upon opportunity to be grateful; that's what life is. -- Brother David Steindl-Rast Books recommended by Robert are here.

The world consumption of water has dramatically increased since then. Water is one of the most vital elements of which human life is made (70 percent of our body) and depends on. It will become one of the next biggest global problems of this planet. 13 December 1997 Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 11 - Of Gratitude I often hear God saying to me and humanity: "You want to show me your gratitude? It is very simple: be peaceful, just, kind, loving each other and grateful for every day of your life."

[GMW #2387] Life Sustainable Conditions Will Become More Important Than Sustainable Development
| [GMW #2387] Life Sustainable Conditions Will Become More Important Than Sustainable Development Monday 6 February 2012, Editor: Easy| RobertMuller.org | Contact | Subscribe | Unsubscribe | Biography | World Core Curriculum | Store | NEW Facebook | Twitter | GMW Blogs: English | Portuguese | Spanish | Tagalog | Dutch | ~ Idea 1228 ~ It is strange that most industries of the world are located in northern regions where for three to four months forests and trees have no leaves to absorb carbon dioxide and to produce oxygen. This is why the northern countries are likely to perish first from atmospheric pollution and oxygen deficiency. Instead of developed and under-developed countries, the world will be divided into livable and unlivable countries. Life sustainable conditions will become more important than sustainable development. 20 November 1997 Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 11 - Of Gratitude Suppose humanity lost its eyesight or its hearing, speaking, thinking or loving capacity? Would it not be a catastrophe? Shouldn't we therefore be grateful for being endowed with these stupendous senses and capacities? Is "stupendous" too strong? Well, think how you would feel, if you lost a single one of them!
