There was a time when humans were building cathedrals and temples to God. Today the 'advanced', 'successful' new humanity is building enormous shopping centers and skyscrapers to the Gods' 'money', 'production' 'packaging' and 'waste disposal'.
We might soon become an Earth without churches, temples and cathedrals or kept only as curiosities for weddings, baptisms and funerals.

| Robert's Golden Sayings |
You have no idea what great things you can achieve, once you throw yourself entirely in the hand of God.

Society, the media, the brevity of our life and our involvement in our time make us attach undue importance to the events and people notable during our life. But they are all so transient. Only relevant are the birth of ideas and actions which are part of a long-term evolution. That can be well observed in the United Nations, and on this rests my faith in its ultimate success.

| Habits of thinking need not be forever. One of the most significant findings in psychology in the last twenty years is that individuals can choose the way they think. --Martin Seligman
Inspiration of the Day:
When he was 29, Steven Hayes had the first of a series of panic attacks. Today, at 57, he hasn't had a panic attack in a decade, and is a well-known psychologist and author of 27 books. "Get Out of Your Mind & Into Your Life", is his most recent work. Its first sentence is: "People suffer." But in a radical departure from traditional cognitive therapy, Hayes and other top researchers are focusing less on how to manipulate the content of our thoughts and more on how to change their context -- to modify the way we see thoughts and feelings so they can't control our behavior. Hayes and the others teach mindfulness, the practice of observing thoughts without getting entangled in them. This article from Time delves deeper into his approach. [ more ]
