Paradox

We have bigger houses but smaller families;
More conveniences, but less time;
We have more degrees, but less sense;
More knowledge, but less judgment;

More experts, but more problems;
More medicines, but less healthiness;
We've been all the way to the moon and back,
but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour...

Awakening the Dreamer

There’s a global movement emerging on Earth, oriented to find out ways of living which will take us beyond the crises of our age into a world that truly works for all.

The mission is bringing forth an environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling and socially just human presence on this planet.

Bansky on the Wall

Posted on Bansky´s site, you´ll find this one from Emo Phillips: When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised God doesn’t work that way, so I stole one and prayed for forgiveness.


See here a great 7min. documentary about his work.

Speechless

Was Will Henry who said;
Fools live to regret their words, wise men to regret their silence.



Do not live to regret anything though, but don´t forget being more careful next time, when choosing between speach or silence.

Wisdom & Process

A Barry Schwartz´s 20 min. speech on wisdom as an antidote to a society gone mad with bureaucracy.

He ties in together ethics and wisdom, quoting Aristoteles who once upon a time defined practical wisdom as the combination between moral will and moral skill.

Schwartz brilliantly relates how today´s extended practice of just over ruling and giving incentives, when trying to solve several issues, keeps people away from thinking, away from the real development of their potential.

As the professor says, it might be very confortable, even often brings a kind of short term safety, but at the end of the day... also assures our long term mediocracy.


The Real Crisis? We Stopped Being Wise

Amazing Beauty

Give you a break, take a deep breath and open your view to the beauty. It is really there, just happens sometimes that we need to change our perspective to see it.



Anytime, we may be surprised at the beauty around us. Even we are not used to dayly notice such a miracle, it´s always there, right before our eyes.
