A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

The eye of the understanding is like the eye of the sense;
for as you may see great objects through small crannies or holes,
so you may see great axioms of nature through small and contemptible instances.

-Francis Bacon, essayist, philosopher, and statesman (1561-1626)

Imagine there’s no countries

Imagine there’s no countries
it isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
and no religion too . . . .
—John Lennon

Our pure self interest led to the "I don't care about you"-society

The current financial and economic crisis is tremendous, and I don't believe we have seen the end of it, although some economists see 'green shoots'.

For many decades we have… Continue
