Thank you Teo.
p61: In Matthew 26:11 Jesus said that the poor will always be among us,"
I think that Jesus was absolutely right. We will see more and more poverty as the world's food supplies will dwindle.There is overpopulation. The weather is causing great destruction on this planet. Companies are closing and the workers are losing their jobs, and yoko is correct: governements are not what they seem to be; what we see is not always the reality. And the list goes on...
Thank you Teo for reminding us of Dr Deepak Chopra's wisdom; with individuals like him there is still some hope.
As far as this goes:
The gods had offered Achilles a short, glorious life, or a long dull one. He chose glory...
I don't know how much glory there is in the world today. This becomes a difficult choice. I don't even know if one wants to chose a long life? Good question?
