Hello Peter, Hello Helen,
It’s a true pleasure to hear such reality talk you posted Helen, on basic economical grounds from a president of not so many years back. Then of course people naturally always believe that the grass is greener in the next-door neighbor’s patch, and do not appreciate what they presently have and thereby drop rapidly into some socialistic or other despotic green and loving degeneration. In all sectors and levels this happens, be it on an individual or national scale. For having believed that the value of knowledge, finances or personal achievement is an absolute is leaving the doors wide open to precisely what is happening presently all around the world in their own variants. If knowledge, accomplishments, economics, territorial possessions, human rights - the list is long - do have their rightful value, by themselves they are emphatically not the essential or highest good and will thereby invariably destroy their very selves.
Friendly yours,
Robert.
