Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1501 to 2000
~ Idea 1566 ~ 24 October 1998
United Nations Day

Today on this UN Day I give my special thanks to God for the creation of the United Nations after World War II during which I saw so many horrors and lost all my school friends of the year 1939, in Alsace-Lorraine, killed in German or French uniforms. I also thank my friends of Thanksgiving Center in Dallas for having fulfilled my dream to see the Year 2000 declared International Year of Thanksgiving by the United Nations, and to start that celebration with a World Assembly "Spirit of a Thousand Years" from 12 to 16 March 1999 at the Center for World Thanksgiving.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II  Chapter 2  Of Happiness
Popular wisdom rightly says "smile" to an unhappy child or person. 
My unhappy face might keep others away and render me even more unhappy, because I notice their displeasure. 
This might create permanent unhappy features on my face which will make me a permanently unhappy person.

But if I smile and have a happy face,
I will make others feel happy and will receive more happiness in return.
Hence:  a smile costs nothing and can
reap a beautiful harvest of happiness. 

Smiling should become a major art and education.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1501 to 2000
~ Idea 1565 ~ 23 October 1998

I recommend that well to do retired people should buy a farm
in their own country or in a poor country and
let the farmer or a hired young person till the land,
share its products and receive a salary that will help them raise a family

thus avoiding that they abandons the land to seek employment in a city.

We have done it in Costa Rica to the happiness and satisfaction of all concerned.
I could not have done better in my life.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II  Chapter 2  Of Happiness
One of the happiest persons I have met in my life is Guru Satchidananda. 
His aim is the same as that of U Thant: 

to help people and humanity achieve happiness
by living perfect physical, mental, moral and spiritual lives. 

His name reflects the objectives his mother dreamt for him:
Sat-Chid-Ananda:  Life, Knowledge, Happiness.

U Thant meant: the Pure.

Blessed be the cultures and parents
who give names of virtues to their children. 
It should become a world-wide practice.

[GMW #2570] Make Advertizing Illegal. Only Read Magazines That Have No Advertising

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1501 to 2000
~ Idea 1564 ~ 22 October 1998

As part of the people's trend to consume less in the rich countries in order to save the Earth I recommend that they should no longer buy magazines which contain advertisements.

One reason is that magazines are highly paid for advertisement and will therefore not publish articles critical of products or of business malpractices.

The price paid by the reader for the magazine should cover the costs of its production plus a profit to the publisher. To get revenue from business and advertisement is immoral and should be illegal. The whole matter of advertisement which has become a major new, all pervading phenomenon in modern society should be subject to very close government scrutiny. It is closely linked with the question of democracy and truth.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II  Chapter 2  Of Happiness
If only all those who are not hungry, not sick, not handicapped, not dying, not unemployed, not grieved by the death of a dear one, could smile on this Earth. 

The world would look so different:  at least 2 to 3 billion people would smile and show their happiness at life. 

O God, help us become a Smiling Planet.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1501 to 2000
~ Idea 1563 ~ 21 October 1998

Governments should begin to offer tax incentives to deconcentrate some of their monstrous cities, to have people leave them and live in smaller communities including rural areas which have been abandoned during this century. A return of people to nature would be a great blessing for humanity, for our future and for the Earth.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II  Chapter 2  Of Happiness
Don't say:  I will be happy tomorrow.  Say:  I am happy today. 
As the Latins said:  carpe diem.  Enjoy the day. 

We should not wait for a better world
to be happy and
to do our duty towards the planet and humanity.

[GMW #2568] Communities Decide To Be In Harmony With Nature

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1501 to 2000
~ Idea 1562 ~ 20 October 1998

More and more communities in the world should decide that they will stop to develop having reached the state of proper harmony with nature. The concept of non-growth and harmonious stability with nature should become normal in more and more places.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II  Chapter 2  Of Happiness
The Japanese word happiness means "to take things as they come".  This is a rather poor attitude towards the miracle of life. 

We should better say: 
"Happiness is to take things as they come
with joy when they are good and
with fortitude when they are bad." 

A world book giving the etymology (meaning) of the word happiness in all languages would be a very revealing, extremely important, helpful book.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1501 to 2000
~ Idea 1561 ~ 19 October 1998

Some cities, communities, states and neighborhoods should have a sign at their entrance, "Developers go home."

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II  Chapter 2  Of Happiness
Perhaps there is no true, objective happiness, isolated from my being.  Perhaps there is only my will for happiness.  If this is so, then we are the artisans of our own happiness which should be the easiest product on Earth.  Happiness, the easiest thing on Earth?  An interesting thought indeed!

[GMW #2566] Revamp Economics



Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1501 to 2000
~ Idea 1560 ~ 18 October 1998

I wonder how much waste is included in the so called gross national product. In reality it is included twice, once in the production of goods and services wasted then again as waste "services" such as waste collection, transportation, disposal or recycling. Economics really requires a very thorough revamping.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II  Chapter 2  Of Happiness
We often seek perfection and happiness in God and in paradise instead of living in perfection and happiness on Earth.  We seek miracles in the outside environments of politics and religion instead of conducting our own cosmos wisely and happily.  Perfection, miracles and happiness start at home.
