Water is marvelous and makes for a good drink.----------------------------------- ----------------------------------Animals and Plants are amazing entities that we can learn a lot from, as are the forces of nature whereupon we 'sit'.------------ ----------------It is fascinating that 'here' exists inter-connected consciousness: 'here' on this planet and within this solar system; 'here' in a wonderful and mysterious universe.---------------- -------------------Globalization is an inevitable process; a concern is the erosion of cultures, unnatural extinctions, greed, exploitation and the propensity for the impoverished to suffer socio-political and economic injustices.------------------------ ---------------------The global obsession with economic growth and consumerism is not an intelligent pursuit on a resource depleted, over populated planet. Actions such as this yield benefits to wealthy minorities at the expense of all else. 'Steady-state' economic practices can exist with capitalism and hold a solution. Such practices may not solve inequality, but the wastefulness of 'economic beasts' will be reduced by aiming toward a 'zero-sum' result. -----------Freedom of choice in 'authentic democracies' can decide for a better future.------------------------------------------------------- -----------------The' Ten Commandments' can provide for a happy and unselfish life. People have a right to; or not to, worship and believe in their God through choice and self-determination. ------------The resounding effects of religious manipulation to achieve personal gratification is hypocritical and a basis of 'holy wars'. Imposing personalized beliefs through such deceitfully camouflaged agendas em-battles harmony which is nothing like God.--------------------------------- ----------------The concept of God coexists with science and evolutionary theory; after all, how can organisms evolve unless at some point 'matter' was created prior to their presently evolved manifestation. -------------From the time a species comes into existence, it is destined to become extinct. As with the birth of a physical entity comes its physical death. 'The leaf falls from the tree'.---------------- ----Matter perpetually transforms; is in a state of flux and is essentially energy- not all of which can be measured and perhaps will never be.----------------------------------------------------------- --------------Remember what you know--------
