[GMW #4138] Write Books Appealing To Idealism, Generosity, & Contributions Of All To A Better World

[GMW #4138] Write Books Appealing To Idealism, Generosity, & Contributions Of All To A Better World  Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4528 ~
The United Nations and its agencies are the biggest publishers on Earth on world subjects and problems. This reflects the planet-wide and human-wide scope of the concerns of the United Nations. No one would have predicted that when the UN was created in 1945. 

And yet in my view it is not good enough because all the published books are above all intellectual books, books of information, which is important, but there are very few of them which speak from the heart and to the hearts of the people.

There are a few children's books, but no books appealing to the idealism of young people, to the generosity of the elderly and contributions of all humans to a better world.  I am one of the few retired United Nations officials who has written sentimental, beautiful love stories of the United Nations.

It is not Germany nor any other country that should be above the world, as their national hymn proclaims. It is the world which should be above all countries.  Menschheit, Menschheit über Alles, not Deutschland, Deutschland über Alles.

[GMW #4137] Organic Farms - A Good Place For Young People To Live

[GMW #4137] Organic Farms - A Good Place For Young People To Live   Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4527 ~
The Christian Science Monitor published in February 2002 a very interesting article on young American farmers who decide to engaged in organic farming, especially organic milk production. The market of organic production by farmers, including beef, cereals, eggs, fruits and vegetables is growing by 20 million dollars a year according to the Organic Trade Organization.

This has also the wonderful effect of keeping young people on the land instead of rushing to overcrowded cities.

It is typical that in the attempted coup against President Gorbachev, the three main instigators were the head of the armed forces, the Minister of Interior and the KGB.  Two of the three committed suicide.

As long as we relate to the trees, the rivers, the mountains, the fields and the oceans as properties which we can manipulate according to our real or fabricated needs, nature remains opaque, and does not reveal to us its true being.

[GMW #4136] Environmental Service To Replace Military Service

[GMW #4136] Environmental Service To Replace Military Service  Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4526 ~
There are already several countries, especially Nordic countries which offer premiums to owners of land in the poor countries who accept to reforest their lands. Rich countries could also provide funding to small countries which would decide to abolish the military and devote the funds to environmental causes. Military service would be replaced by environmental service.

As noted in Idea 20 of Volume I there are already 26 demilitarized countries in the world. In Central America demilitarized Costa Rica is much more peaceful and prosperous than the other Central American republics.

Outcries of injustice resemble the human body's pains: 
they point at a malfunctioning of the system.

[GMW #4135] Fulfilment Of Individual, Family, Whole Human Family Is Predominant

[GMW #4135] Fulfilment Of Individual, Family, Whole Human Family Is Predominant   Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4525 ~
On one fundamental subject at least humanity has thought a lot and devoted a lot of research, namely human groupings, human societies from the individual, the family, local collectivities, associations, to world-wide entities and the total human family. The existence and meaning of nations, of religions, of ethnic groups has also been covered very extensively.

The question remains: which should be the predominant, most important groupings or elements? I would say that they are the individual, the family and the whole human family. All others should be subordinate, contributions, aids to the fulfillment of the individual, of the family and of the whole humanity.

Earth government has two ways of behaving:  like a good mother give the breast to the baby when it is feeding time, or feed it only when the baby cries of hunger.  Good Earth government consists of foreseeing needs and preventing cries.

There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children.
One of these is roots, the other, wings.
