Generosity.

Merry Christmas and a happy New year.

Our global econmy is based on the sarcity of supplies, and our economic philosophies are centred on strife and struggle, competition and greed around it, or just sharing.As soon as the illusions around contemporary war and interrelated phenomena will fade, and we begin to share the resources of the world responsably and as best we can, we will be given the wider responsability of a nearly unlimited reservoir of energy, and find no excuse anymore for our divided way of life. In other words: we have to give sincerely to
be able to receive the more; without speculating. And this goes for human relationship in general. If somebody in need asks aks us something, and we refuse to give from our own abundance, or even take our time in debating the legitimacy of his question by endless
generalisatons, we may become an accomplice to crime. At the same time, if we give with the inention to receive ten times more we may lose all. Otherwise, all generosity would be only a form of calculating, economic planning or a mere advertisement to justify our vanity. Life has a deeper meaning than merely this manipulation.
