It has become as important as the world population problem.

For example, regional and world engineering projects, international water pipelines, common world hydro-electrical projects in the Andes and the Himalayas, regional electrical grids and a world global energy grid (GENI) to take advantage of the night and day time difference on this planet, etc. Insufficient attention has been given to world cooperative projects which could improve the overall efficiency of the world economy tremendously. Thinking stops at the nation. Attention is given almost exclusively to national projects when the whole outlook of humanity and the fate of this planet have become overwhelmingly global. I cannot understand it.

I stretched my mind to remember it and discovered something that was far back but deep in my memory: in the French underground during World War II one day we had to take twelve French citizens who had collaborated with the Nazis to the woods to be executed. Only one of them, a woman, took it calmly. She did not resist or throw herself on the ground as others did. She walked erect praying, her eyes directed to the heavens. On the way I heard her murmur, "I forgive them." She prayed the Hail Mary when the shots were fired. The shots cut her prayer in half and she fell into the grave dug by them the day before. Her words remained with me when I joined the United Nations. I decided to network forgiveness with my poem Decide to Forgive. The last words of Jesus and Gandhi were of forgiveness.

To distinguish ourselves, to separate ourselves from the Earth is a grave error which can cost us our future evolution and possibly lead to our extinction.

For example the total value of cosmetics consumed on this planet is equivalent to the total world expenditures on education. There is something wrong with that. Also, the teaching of international affairs in universities costs more than the total budgets of the UN and of its 32 specialized agencies. This is not normal either. Consumption, waste and uneconomics must become major new subjects of information, study and correction on this planet.

This might be a phenomenon of such colossal magnitude unknown to the public that things must be very basically wrong with the so called western "economic" system. All this is at the expense of the Earth's resources and nature. If it continues unchecked it might mean sooner or later an economic catastrophe. Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,   Volume II  Chapter 2  Of Happiness World happiness and harmony are impeded by the fact that so many firms are bent on producing consumer unhappiness and endless new desires in order to increase their business.  To induce a six percent increase in the national product of a rich, demographically stable country a six percent increase of unhappiness must be engineered.  Marketing and advertising are the main instruments. * 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 Eyes see only light, ears hear only sound, but a listening heart perceives meaning. -- David Steindl-Rast, A Listening Heart Books recommended by Robert are here.

We must now also adopt the concept of sustainable consumption. This is very urgent. Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,   Volume II  Chapter 2  Of Happiness In the 1970s I suggested to the Gallup organization to conduct a world public opinion survey on happiness.  They retained instead the concept of "Quality of life."  The results were that below a certain standard of life and when there are serious sicknesses in a family, there is no happiness.  Above a certain standard of life, people are on the whole satisfied with their quality of life.  Beyond a high standard, unhappiness reappears:  in the richest countries, the suicide rate increases, drug addiction and alcoholism proliferate, an increasing percentage of people do not find any meaning in life.  This is when the hour of spirituality, philanthropy and service to a better world strikes. * 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 Fe Langdon.
