“Greater consumption due to increase in population and growth of income heightens scarcity and induces price run-ups. A higher price represents an opportunity that leads inventors and businesspeople to seek new ways to satisfy the shortages. Some fail, at cost to themselves. A few succeed, and the final result is that we end up better off than if the original shortage problems had never arisen. That is, we need our problems, though this does not imply that we should purposely create additional problems for ourselves.” IfsWayNeedsShouldDoeEndsProblemRunningOpportunityGrowthResultsGreaterFailingHigherCostSucceedIncreaseOriginalsFinalsPopulationDuesIncomeConsumptionNew WaysBetter OffInventorShortageScarcity Author:Julian Simon

“Playing with various approaches may be due to resistance to going within, to the fear of having to abandon the illusion of being something or somebody in particular.Of all the affections the love of oneself comes first. Light and love are impersonal.When you do not think yourself to be this or that, all conflict ceases. Any attempt to do something about your problems is bound to fail, for what is caused by desire can be undone only in freedom from desire. You cannot be rid of problems without abandoning illusions.” ThinkingFirstsMayProblemLightDesireFailingParticularConflictApproachIllusionAnd LoveBoundsOneselfAffectionVariousDuesCeaseResistanceAbandonUndoneLight And Love Author:Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
