“Enforced by genetics, sexual reproduction, perspective, and experience, the most manifest characteristic of human beings is their diversity. The freer an economy is, the more this human diversity of knowledge will be manifested. By contrast, political power originates in top-down processes-governments, monopolies, regulators, and elite institutions- all attempting to quell human diversity and impose order. Thus power always seeks centralization.” HumansGovernmentPoliticalOrderProcessHuman BeingsEconomyPerspectiveDiversityEconomicsInstitutionsCharacteristicsManifestElitesContrastMonopolyAttemptingGeneticsReproductionPolitical PowerTop DownRegulatorsCentralizationHuman Diversity Author:George Gilder

“Humor and laughter are not necessarily the same thing. Humor permits us to see into life from a fresh and gracious perspective. We learn to take ourselves more lightly in the presence of good humor.

“We have looked first at man with his vanities and greed and his problems of a day or a year; and then only, and from this biased point of view, we have looked outward at the earth he has inhabited so briefly and at the universe in which our earth is so minute a part. Yet these are the great realities, and against them we see our human problems in a different perspective. Perhaps if we reversed the telescope and looked at man down these long vistas, we should find less time and inclination to plan for our own destruction.” IfsMenShouldYearsFirstsHumansLongDifferentProblemRealityEarthUniverseViewsPlansMinutesPerspectiveDestructionGreedPoint Of ViewVanityInclinationTelescopesBiasedDifferent PerspectiveVistasHuman Problems Author:Rachel Carson
“Many common problems are caused by wrong attitudes. People see themselves as the center of the universe and judge everything as it relates to them. Naturally you won't be happy that way. You can only be happy when you see things in proper perspective: all human beings are of equal importance in God's sight, and have a job to do in the divine plan.” PeopleWayHumansProblemJobsUniverseHuman BeingsCommonAttitudePlansDivineJudgingPerspectiveEqualSightImportanceRelateCenter Of The UniverseWrong Attitude Book:Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words Source: Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words
