Greed is Fear Disguised as Success

I begin with the premise that all the world's resources belong to ALL the people. Just because it has always been, that the guys with the biggest sticks have taken more than their fair share, does not make it right or even effecatious. Buckminster Fuller once calculated that we could sustain 5 times the worlds population (at that time) at middle class American standards. The only thing standing in the way of such prosperity, is the political will to accomplish that. Do you not see, that greed... Sign in to see full entry.

Problems with the Word, 'Love'

Part of our difficulty with the last statement of my last post is the use of the word, 'love'. We have so many definitions of it and some many levels and layers of meaning. When I used the term in that sentance, I was pointing to the kind of love that is possessive and self-enhancing.

If you answered, "right", can you really... Sign in to see full entry.

Do We Create Our Own Dis/Ease???

Ever been ill or just feeling down and your best friend suggests that maybe its your fault somehow that you are not healthy? The theory is that, we choose all that happens to us (for our learning?). When that has happened to me, I just wanted to scream, "Thanks, that is all I needed to hear right now!" So now in addition to my suffering, I can carry around a burden of guilt about my dis/ease. On the other hand, the notion that we have in some way, chosen everything that comes our way in life,... Sign in to see full entry.
