Saving the economy or the earth itself

Growth is not the end alone all. In fact like every other thing in life, too much growth is deadly. But many countries do not believe in a cap or a limit to growth. Especially America, with its "American dream" that only keeps on growing! "Gotta get bigger and better!" Sometimes it's not even better its same quality, same look, higher price; consumerism at work.

There is a better more environmentally way to manage an economy. Growth reduces the standard of living; lets avoid that. We can avoid that.

I just recently watched a movie that gave me new insight. If everyone changed their view of success to be less materialistic we would all have a better chance of success and intrinsic happiness. Happiness is success.

Thoughtfully yours,

Naul's Memory of the wind

Upon my first exposure to the video (on Mnet) with out subtitles, I thought: the guy in the uniform was a Japanese invader.  Japan was bombing Korea. ( I thought of this only because i remember Japan having to do something with bombs. Like Hiroshima; only I switched it around and Japan was doing the bombing. The guy and his daughter were playing and the bombs started approaching. He ran with his daughter but the bombs were faster and the guy in the uniform were getting closer. A bomb came really close and the guy used his body to shield his daughter. (Not really plausible seeing as the human body is not that strong.) Then the Japanese soldier was passing by and aw the little girl and had pity on her. then he ended up liking her so he married her. (Its very illogical because he doesn't age. And I doubt the little girl would have willingly agreed to marry someone whose race, nation help bring about her fathers death.) The Soldier is sexy jumping of his horse; maybe the reaso...

Life leaves me wanting.

The way I've lead my life leaves me wanting so much more. For example the last 8 years of my life could have been so much more active, or so much productive, so much more aspiring, so much more of so much more... I could have set goals for myself experimented in more ways life, love, art and faith. In my life I could have been childlike, I could asked the questions I longed to ask save for fear that if I ask them it would seem as if I was rejecting God, rejecting religion. But that's just a part of what I could have done that is so much more. I could have been so much more. I can still be so much more. the entirety of the rest of my life lies  before me. The words that I say, every one of them, a new beginning. The much more that I desire, it's within my grasp. The questions I want to ask, God's ears are open I only need ask; I only need to look forward and test the waters by doing more; to producing more and to be more active. The entirety of existence has not end...

Drama love

I love me some Korean.......dramas. I am currently watching Faith: the Great Doctor and To the Beautiful You. Loving both a lot. Think I'm equally interested in both.......argh can't choooose. Don't make meeee. With Faith, I wanna see how Choi Young ( aka bait monster Lee Min Ho) gets out of the predicament he's in. He was made to look like a traitor who was wants to reinstate the previous king. I feel sad when I think about the king who is trying do hard to serve his country and friends and wife who question him daily. I hope he finds love and acceptance and that there are people who need and want him by the end of this drama. I also want to see what happens to the villain who now believes the plastic is Hwata's apprentice. Also, has General Choi and the other doctor guy fallen for the plastic surgeon? Does the queen have a thing for General Choi or is she really worried that if Choi dies the king will not have anyone by his side? And I am so ready for the fir...
