How can we make our lives longer? How can we save the world we live on? Can these questions be answered?

Question

How can we make ourselves happier? How can we follow the policies Reuse, Reduce and Recycle? How can we be more optimistic?

Answer 1

These are all really good questions, the planet is becoming over populated and the mathematical laws of supply and demand are kicking in ie not enough of what we need to continue so either we do  what you are talking about ore we will rapidly die out until there is balance again

Answer 2

All these questions belong in the field of spirituality.

The problem is, mankind has always been seeking answers to question like these (What is the purpose of our existence, if any, what is happines and so on.)

Partly philosophy used to try and find answers to these questions, but  abandoned these efforts quite some time ago, for these questions cannot be answered in a scientific way - there is no way of prooving whether they have been answered correctly or not.

Psychoanalysts have prooved that there is a deep sense of connectedness that lies far below our individuality. Jung used to call it collective unconscious and Foulkes used to call it a "matrix". There are some theories in theoretical physics that also lead in this direction. Try Bohm or Capra for that.

There is a positive proof that the philosophical basic our political and economic theory is based upon is leading us into big trouble. Environmental problems and cyclic economical crises are a good proof of that. The problem is at the moment our understanding of responsibility is too limited to allow for a society that would be free on one hand and in tune with the natural order on the other. All attempts to hold individuality (unresponsibility) in check finally ended in totalitarism, that is clearly not the solution.

So, if you want to really solve these questions, think about the concept of personal responsibility and how it is connected to recent political and economic concepts. The solution is not recycling, although it may be a step in the right direction. The real solution is rethinking our basic concepts, based on the renewed sense oof responsibility. And this is no small task, either.

Answer 3

We can only change ourselves. I am happy because it is my choose to be happy. I don't believe in the fears that others have. I create my life through my energy. If my energy is negative & I see all kinds of negative things happening then that is what happens. I choose to see the good, to see the miracles. I see a beautiful sky. A beautiful healthy earth. I see everything circulating. So nothing can come from the earth & not return to it in perfect harmony. I will always be alive so i don't care if I live in my body an longer than if I live in my present house longer. I know that where I am is where I am in divine right order. I am as happy as one can be so there is no lack. It is just a choice for everyone. It has nothing to do with anything outside of us. I am totally optimistic.

Answer 4

This is unrelated to this. But I came across an answer you gave to someone trying to help her cat lose weight. You said not to give her cat wet food because it is high in calories and does not belong in a cats diet. Its the opposite of the truth and was horrible horrible advice. Dry food does not belong in a cats diet. Cats do not need all the grains and carbs in dry food. Cats fed on completely wet food will be healthier then cats fed on all dry, even the best dry there is. Don't believe me, look it up. I had to correct you and you do not allow emails. Yours was horrible advice and is probly the reason you cant gets your own cat to lose weight. (the "emotional eater" as you put it) .

dry food was made for the convenience of humans, not the health of cats. cats are obligate carnivores, unlike dogs, and do a helluva lot better on high protein low carb. There is no such thing as low carb dry food or it would not hold together like kibble. The worst wet food is better thn feeding dry food. also cats are meant to get all their fluid from their food. Cats fed on all dry live in a constnt state of mild dehydrtion.

and dry food is much more calorie dense then wet. I hope your vet didn't tell the opposite this b/c he should be fired. If you put your heavy cat on all wet and eliminate dry watch her lose weight. Dry is coated in fat to make it taste good (so they will eat something cats are not supposed to eat) and loaded with unneeded carbs that pack on the pounds. good luck
