Greetings

Time For A Pause

Welcome to this blog and thank you in advance for your deep consideration. Time For A Pause is here to foster dialogs between people in all locations, from all nations. This search for understanding is presented in openness for the world, through happiness and pain. Some posts may stand and others may fall as ideas emerge to be merged with whatever knowledge is gained. If we take time for a pause, to learn, and understand why other people believe what they do, then we shall increase mutual understanding at the least and with hope, always learn something new.

There are wondrous and amazing happenings in the world. We should pause to consider the beauty and abundance that is already here. As urgently, we should pause to consider the blights we face each day, what is really going on to hold us back, and develop solutions so that we may grow and move on our way towards making the world a better place.

Cheers and love to all,

Post 1: The World Is What We Make It

Greetings.  Three things which most people agree on are:

·         The Earth is abundant;

·         The world is what people make of it; and

·         The world should be a better place.

My data is directional and skewed from a personal sample, which means there is an element of self-selection that should be considered in interpreting the objectivity of my findings. But I have found that nearly every person agrees with the points above.

The sample is based on conversations with people from all walks of life – people I have met in school, at work, on airplanes, driving taxis, in bars, on the bus, on the subway, friends of friends, and strangers. Quantitative analysis and scientific methodology have not been applied. Therefore, we shall assume this is directional and applies to a subset of people. Still, I have not met one person who disagreed that the Earth was abundant, that people make the world what it is, and that it should be a better place for all of us.

The current state of the world, however, is not the result one would expect in a world of people who believed in abundance, making it so and thus better. The current state implies that we believe in something else.

So let us get the discussion started. Do you agree that the Earth is abundant; that the world is what we make of it; and that the world should be a better place? Let me know your thoughts and what topics you think we should pause to consider in understanding why the world is like it is and what we should do to change it.

Thanks,
