Why? Because western consumption habits are being ferociously marketed and advertised also in the poor countries by giant western corporations. If the consumption levels of the poor countries should ever reach those of the rich countries their total number of 4.7 billion people today, from the point of view of the Earth would have to be multiplied by thirty meaning 141 billion people on this planet! Multiply their future numbers of 6 to 7 billion by thirty and you will have a staggering figure! Multiply also their number by the average waste produced by an American during his lifetime (4,000 times his weight) and you will see that the world would be confronted with an unimaginable disaster. Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,   Volume II  Chapter 2  Of Happiness "That person is a success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent people and the love of children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who leaves the world better than they found it whether by a perfect poem or a rescued soul; who never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in others and gave the best they had" -- Robert Louis Stevenson * 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 When you listen generously to people they can hear the truth in themselves, often for the first time. --Rachel Naomi Remen Books recommended by Robert are here.

For example, the concept of free enterprise and full business freedom can now lead to substantial destructions of the Earth, of its natural resources and elements on which we live. This should become a major subject for debate in the United Nations. What was a justified moral concept yesterday may be today unethical and immoral. Many other philosophical concepts must similarly be reviewed. Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,   Volume II  Chapter 2  Of Happiness Happiness is a reward by nature, God and society for doing good, for serving, for loving, for having and raising good children, for leaving this Earth a little better than we found it. * 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. Daily Ray of Hope Photo by Len and Debbie Flaherty.

It is of immense importance for the social and political future of humanity.

You were on an international conference call we held at Rosary Catholic School (OKC) in 1993. Your book New Genesis changed my life. I committed my teaching career to global and peace education. I was blessed to have met you in 1992 in Dallas at a small gathering of educators. I also worked with Nina Myerhof for the 1995 UN World Summit of Children as well as other projects (including one at Costa Rica). Thank you so much for the tremendous difference you have made in the world. Blessings....Glenna Books recommended by Robert are here. Subscribe to or unsubscribe from GoodMorningWorld.org

Idea 1570 a list of the gaps still to be filled for human groups not yet covered by human rights declarations, namely the family, mothers, the poor, the homeless, the handicapped, the newborns, youth, the elderly and the dying. Idea 1571 an examination of a new expanding group of rights to be considered for the Earth, the commons, nature, vital elements and the survival of species. Idea 1572 to open an extremely important new, historic evolutionary chapter namely, the chapter of responsibilities of all individuals, human groups and human institutions. Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,   Volume II  Chapter 2  Of Happiness The countries of this world should not be judged for their power, arms and wealth, but for the happiness of their people.  In tomorrow's world democracy, yearly polls should be taken of the peoples' happiness.  Nations should be ranked accordingly.  What would be the point of developing the world to the standards of living existing today in the US and Europe, if the people having finally reached that stage, would not be happier than are the Americans and Europeans today? * 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. HeartMath.com "Overcome your uncertainties and free yourself from dwelling on sorrow.

Henceforth, humankind will never be the same. The question of our life, survival and harmony with the Earth, its elements and nature is now fully raise. Questions such as the following are now ominous: Is it normal that we let a species die every five hours on this planet when it took evolution millions of years to form that species? What is the human race doing to safeguard further evolution of life on this planet, save its elements, its vegetation and all other species living on it including the human species itself? The last surviving drafter and signer of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Ambassador Feyroudin Hoveyda wrote to me recently that the declaration was considered at the time to be a mere piece of paper to be thrown into a wastepaper basket. And yet no head of state, no government today wants to be accused for violation of human rights. The same will happen with the new texts on the rights of nature and of the Earth. Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,   Volume II  Chapter 2  Of Happiness A reader wrote to me: "I have applied your philosophy in your book Most of All, They Taught Me Happiness  in the worst circumstances for a woman:  I was happily married with a man I loved very much.  We have four children and live in a nice house in a suburban community of the beautiful Hudson Valley.  My husband's business is in New York City.  He became ever more prosperous and one day began to be unfaithful to me.  It was an excruciating experience, but I decided to overcome it:  I resolved that "under no circumstance would I let him take my happiness away from me".  I didn't change my attitude towards him, kept the family together, sought greater happiness from my children, my home and my friends.  Several years have passed and very honestly I can say that I never regretted my decision.  He was never able to take my happiness away from me." * 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. Daily Ray of Hope Photo by Cheryl Strahl.

[GMW #2573] 21st Century Literature - Publications With Concrete Ideas For A Better World And Humanity

There are all too many books in the world with endless pages and very few concrete ideas. A book of ideas will be read by heads of states and people of action. The others will not. I'm reminded of the comment once made to me by Secretary General Javier Parez de Cuellar, "I like your books Robert because I can open them at any page and I find an idea which stimulates my mind into thinking. I cannot stand any more books where I have to read hundreds of pages to find out what the outcome is. There is only one other author who is able to do to me what you do, namely Charles Proust whose works I can open at any page and he sets my mind and feelings on the sense of beauty."
