[Woke?]...now's the time(because the alarm is going off...)

  woke : [adjective]  alert to injustice in society, especially racism. “Human beings are a part of the animal kingdom, not apart from it. The separation of "us" and "them" creates a false picture and is responsible for much suffering. It is part of the in-group/out-group mentality that leads to human oppression of the weak by the strong as in ethic, religious, political, and social conflicts.” ― Marc Bekoff

[Medicine]...prevention is the cure

  The doctor of the future will give no medication but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.  Thomas A. Edison Practicing preventative medicine currently isn't part of the average physician's everyday routine today, but in the future, it will be.

[Scarcity] is scary...

Resourceism? Resource-Based Economy?   We are equal heirs to a global fortune. We are beneficiaries of an abundant trust fund of planetary resources, a wealth of abundance beyond all common measure or human comprehension. But until we assert our rightful inheritance of this blessed gift, it will remain unclaimed and forever beyond our reach.

[Magic] of science...

“Those who are not shocked when they first come across quantum theory cannot possibly have understood it.” ― Niels Bohr, Essays 1932-1957 on Atomic Physics and Human Knowledge The Universe exists within all life, just as certainly as all life exists within the Universe. Life is the manifestation of the Universe's consciousness.  That is Oneness. “Quantum physics teaches us that we can simultaneously exist in many places, under certain conditions.” ― Amit Ray, Quantum Computing Algorithms for Artificial Intelligence

[Salvation] is about sharing...

“The most powerful predictor of the murder rate is the size of the gap in income and wealth between the rich and the poor. And the most powerful predictor of the rate of national or collective violence—war, civil insurrection, and terrorism—is the size of the gap between income and wealth between the rich and poor nations.” ― Dr. James Gilligan So, 'peace on Earth'? Share its abundance. (because we all have an equal inheritance of its resources and shouldn't compete for anything.  “Our entire system, in an economic sense, is based on restriction. Scarcity and inefficiency are the movers of money; the more there is of any resource the less you can charge for it. The more problems there are, the more opportunities there are to make money. This reality is a social disease, for people can actually gain off the misery of others and the destruction of the environment. Efficiency, abundance, and sustainability are enemies of our economic structure, for they are inverse to the mec

[Heathy]...yes

  Love for all living creatures is  the noblest virtue of humankind.  “Veganism is not about giving anything up or losing anything; it is about gaining the peace within yourself that comes from embracing nonviolence and refusing to participate in the exploitation of the vulnerable.”  —  Gary L. Francione

[Time] to progress, to improve...

“How did it get so late so soon?” ― Dr. Seuss Every new day is a new beginning. And things will change.

[Love] it all...

“There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved. ― George Sand Never mind money, power, and fame, it's love  —   how much you gave and how much you received that counts for anything. Love is the only treasure you take with you when you leave this world. “Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.” ― Albert Einstein

[Minimalism]...de-own things before they own you...

“Don't just declutter, de-own.” ― Joshua Becker, Clutterfree with Kids Unused 'precious' objects take up precious space and very precious time.

[Miracles]...it is all science you know...

  “Miracles surround us at every turn, if we but sharpen our perceptions to them.” ― Willa Cather When you live your life knowing that everything is a miracle, every moment then becomes something to savor and be in awe of. You are then filled with appreciation and gratitude knowing that you are indeed blessed.

[Love] learn or burn...

  “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” ― Martin Luther King Jr., A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches No child is born with prejudice and hate in his or her heart. All are born wanting to connect with others. Just as love is learned when children are cherished and nurtured, hate is also learned by messages and cues that are both verbal and nonverbal. As hate is learned, so it can be unlearned. “The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.” ― Elie Wiesel

[Food] medicine to prevent or cause disease...

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” ― Benjamin Franklin The doctor of the future will give no medication but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease. ― Thomas A. Edison
