By ticking the box, you are indicating that you understand all of the information above and are in agreeance with it.
Our outer world is a reflection of our inner world. Each of us must first create inner peace before being able to establish peace in the outer world. No one … and I repeat no one hassles us, judges us and degrades us more than we already do to ourselves. We must first learn to accept ourselves as we are before we can accept others for being what they are.
The same goes for nutrition. We spiritually starve ourselves of knowledge and wisdom that will bring about inner peace and therefore we starve ourselves of nutritional sustenance in the physical world.
As for sustainability, I think that mankind will sustain itself for much longer than science will ever give us credit for. I also believe that mankind has been on this planet for far longer than science will ever give us credit for. Cave man was not the first of our kind. They were the survivors of the last great ice age. There are tonnes of scientific and archeological evidence to support this claim, but since the evidence doesn't fit the current theory of evolution it is tagged, labeled and filed away in dark dingy basements.
… Not quite the answer you were expecting? Lol.
Actually Mark, your answer was spot on the money as to what i would have said. Good stuff bro!
IMO our major problem is everyone wants something in return. Most people are unwilling to do something if it doesn’t have a direct benefit to them. No doubt the human race as a whole could solve hunger in the world, we could achieve world peace. But most people’s (who are in a position to make a difference) first thought would be how will that benefit me?
Also the human race is a destructive force. The song by Jason Mraz called Only Human sums that up nicely.
Hey Robert. Great to see you here homey! Sweet reply too. Made me think of this…
IMO, *SERVICE*, to something larger than ourself, is the key!
I repeat, **SERVICE**, (while using our strengths) toward a purpose we deem meaningful, in contribution to the world, is key!
Great Stufff! -=)
there are no problems in the world, they only thing that is outta whack is our perceptions of it. the world is perfect just the way it is. Who ever and what ever the situation may be, we all chose to be here to learn and grow from it and expand our consciousness by experiencing life with its vast arrays. Unless you are completely passionate and have your whole heart into what you are creating for your experience you will never be able to truly show others how to live from this place.
Ahhhh Alissa -=)… WOW, i'm stricken by how much of what you wrote is reminding me of a Mediation class i took last night. You ol' Buddha you…
Major problems for the human race i.e. nutrition, sustainability, world peace, world hunger etc. all seem to be linked to our one largest issue…overpopulation. When homo sapiens started 'growing food' such as crops and livestock instead of just hunting and gathering, we started a chain of events that caused worldwide population increases. The industrial revolution only served to increase the population explosion, exponentially. Meaning many more mouths to feed, more needs to address, more issues to deal with…BUT also more brilliant minds to draw upon.
So what is holding us back? What is stopping us from solving our 'problem'? NOTHING
The overpopulation of our planet will not change until mother nature changes it and our 'problem' is not something to be solved. WE are not perfect, nothing is.
If we think of our planet as a really big community we will see that there are issues to be dealt with. not a whole lot different than a pride of lions, school of fish or a farmyard of animals have issues to be dealt with inside their 'community'. With so many people in this big community it sometimes seem that we have many 'problems'.
Not so. When there is a natural disaster our 'community' sends help. Do we make the natural disaster go away? no, we are not perfect. Where there is hunger our 'community' tries to get food and resources to address hunger. Do we feed everyone? no, we are not perfect. When there is lawlessness our 'community' attempts to address that as well. Is there still lawlessness? yes, we are not perfect.
If we can focus on all the amazing things, heroic things, incredible things, heartwarming things, absolutely astounding things we have and will accomplish, we will be able to understand that there are no real problems..just some ongoing issues that our 'community' will address. Will we succeed? Only if we are perfect.
WOW! Interesting insights – thanx for the share!!
I think simply that too many people think THEY cannot make a difference…and I think they hear it all the time.
If we could make people understand that just one simple act by just one simple person…could litterally avalanch into something profound…
Just do something…
Amen!
I maybe sounding like a throwback from the 60's but I think that it all starts with LOVE. I think that all three require the human race to be selfless and what other selfless act is there…..once we as a people stop thinking/ acting selfish- we will find the cure to whatever needs to be fixed.
Good stuff Lisa… thanx so much for the share! -=)
Hahaha -=) Thanx Lauren!
Interesting take on the topic. It requires a *BIG* person to believe and trust in the goodness of all people.
Let's exemplify that change which we wanna see -=)
Chat soon!!
IMHO the single problem is human corruption that stems from a faulty paradigm. Reality is explained by two "camps" – either we are all passengers on a prepaid voyage aboard a perfect, self sustaining spaceship, or we are desperate creatures in a continuous battle to survive the ordeal of life and achieve some measure of comfort in a bleak and barren wilderness. One of these descriptions is a paranoid delusion that is "proved to be true" by the selfish and violent actions of its adherents. The other group is a bunch of sheep among wolves that suffer together from the madness around them.
A faulty paradigm indeed Blair. Thanx for sharing!
