  Belief in the Afterlife - where do you sit on the scale?

  by jgnat in

  i am three-quarters through the book, the time paradox: the new psychology of time that will change your lifeby philip zimbardo and john boyd.

  it is taking longer than usual because i am earnestly applying the exercises as they appear in the book.

  which means i have to be ready to change my habits...but enough about me.. zimbardo's argument throughout the book is that a person's time perspective deeply impacts their choices and their ability to be happy.

  I beleive (at a minimum) that long after I die, the physical usiverse will cease to exist (either by the "big crunch" or "heat death"). At some point in time in the very distant future the universe will exist again, I'll be born and live again. Remember from a literal standpoint, there is an infinite number of you's living in the "forever timespan"...

  Of course, I an hoping for either benevolent Aliens or friendly Fairies to scoop me and my family up and will live forever on the wings of energy...

  the great recession and the slump that followed have triggered a jobs crisis that's been making headlines since before president obama was in office, and that will likely be with us for years.

  The Great Recession and the slump that followed have triggered a jobs crisis that's been making headlines since before President Obama was in office, and that will likely be with us for years. But the American economy is also plagued by a less-noted, but just as serious, problem: Simply put, over the last 30 years, the gap between rich and poor has widened into a chasm.

  Sammie, the US consumer makes the decision eveytime they purchase a product made in china over products made in the USA based on the final sales price. They are the ones making that decision and they are the only ones who can change it.

  my mother-in-law has lived in the same neighborhood as him for years and knows his wife.

  i asked her if she was going attend the funeral service.

  As a kid, I wanted to blend in, be like the others when they stood for the National Anthem or participated in holidays...

  The race to the bottom will have to end with the consumer. American consumers are the only ones with enough purchasing power to change the "cheaper=better" mindset. Even if all the wealthy (top 1%'ers) went out and spent all their cash buying american goods, it would only amount to a "speed-hump"...

  Cheers
