Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1380 ~
21 April 1998
I also wish that there were more etymological articles in newspapers, magazines and schoolbooks: names of people, names of countries, of rivers, of mountains, of cities, of neighborhoods, of streets, of products. How many people would benefit from knowing that alcohol is an Arabic word that came to us via Spanish and means Al Kohol, the Devil!

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 12 - Of Forgiveness
Decide to Forgive

For resentment is negative
Resentment is poisonous
Resentment diminishes
and devours the self.

Be the first to forgive,
to smile and to take
the first step,
And you will see
happiness bloom

On the face of your human brother
or sister,
Be always the first
Do not wait for others
to forgive

For by forgiving
You become the master of fate
The fashioner of life
The doer of miracles.

To forgive is the highest,
most beautiful form
of love.
In return you will receive
untold peace
and happiness

The goal of life is to make your heartbeat

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1378 ~
19 April 1998
There are innumerable United Nations Models for children and youth around the world. Young people enjoy them greatly: they take the seat of a government at the UN and come up with their ideas and solutions for world affairs.

I propose that similar UN Models be organized for adults and for the elderly.

And then intergenerational Models could be organized between children, youth, their parents and the elderly. What lessons, what philosophy (love for wisdom) would emerge from them!

Always place yourself in the position of your human kin. Or as the indigenous people say: Do not judge your human kin before having walked in their moccasins for a few miles.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1377 ~
18 April 1998
A Costa Rican youth asked me for advice concerning his legal studies: should he select penal law or international law as a specialization?

I answered him: "If your heart is with the world and humanity, choose international law and try to transform it into world law. The time is highly ripe for that. But if you need a good professional income you should select penal law, because there will for some time remain a good deal of violence in your country and need for judges and lawyers.

What would be exciting would be for you to take an interest in a yet unexisiting world penal law system. A beginning is being made with the probable creation of a World Criminal Court directed at certain world crimes. But much more is needed, namely legal penalties for world corruption, terrorism, hostages taking, bribery, colossal tax evasions, etc.

You could become famous by being a prophet of the first world penal legislation and system."

[GMW #2438] Abandon Prevailing Madnesses - Expand the Untouchable Commons



Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1409 ~
20 May 1998
Despite strong scientific and peoples' protests, the United States went ahead with the Cassini project: a space capsule has been launched with several pounds of plutonium on board and will reenter the Earth's atmosphere in a year, accelerate around our globe (at the risk of our destruction) to gain more speed – and continue at a propulsed speed farther away into the universe.

Despite the Moon Treaty adopted by all nations, to keep the moon as an untouchable common property of humankind, the United States has decided to launch another lunar expedition to explore the colonization of the moon and its "economic" exploitation, caving in to American business hunger for profits.

Hearing such things, one wonders if there is not some madness prevailing on this planet.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,

Learn to listen not so much to others than to your innermost self.
Learn to speak not so much to others than to yourself.
Learn to speak to God and to listen to God.

[GMW #2437] Abandon Prevailing Madnesses - Expand the Untouchable Commons



Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1372 ~
13 April 1998
In the year 2000, the UN should inaugurate in its gardens a tall monument to all unknown peacemakers who died in the service of peace and justice all over the globe in human history.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 12 - Of Forgiveness
"One should forgive any injury. It has been said that the continuation of the species is due to man's being forgiving. Forgiveness is holiness; by forgiveness the universe is held together. Forgiveness is the might of the mighty; forgiveness is sacrifice; forgiveness is quiet of the mind. Forgiveness and gentleness are the qualities of the self-possessed. They represent eternal virtue."
-- The Mahabharata

"Only those who will risk going too far
can possibly find out how far one can go."

"Being kind is a way of life. It's a choice each day.
There is something magical and whimsical about being kind.

The ripple effect is fun to observe and
quietly recognize your tiny part
in what may be a miracle
in the making for someone."
-- TheBrokeGiver

Idea 1371 12 April 1998
Another monument should be commissioned for the anniversary of the despatch of the first UN Peace-keeping force, in honor of all the peacekeeping and peacemaking servants who died in course of the years.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 12 - Of Forgiveness
Rich nations should ask to be forgiven for stealing innumerable works of art from colonies and poor countries. Years ago I got a resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly asking for the return of works of art to their countries of origin.  Each year some returns are being made.  Thus the golden crown of St. Stephen was returned by the US to Hungary and the quetzal feathers coronation mantel of Montezuma was returned by Austria to Mexico.
But these are only trickles.  Many 'great' museums of the rich countries remain robbers’ dens.
