The next time as an animal The human psyche is similarly damaged everywhere we go: we categorize our own breed into clusters, in order to exert control.In the past,when slavery and oppression were supported by laws it could all happen openly. Today those laws have been abolished, but the human psyche has not changed. The contemporary has just become a bigger hypocrite than ever before.

The Gift of Understanding Often, when we are at work, we feel offended by things others say or do. This is like a first arrow: it is often unexpected, and it hurts. But if we dwell too long on what happened, and choose to give rise to negative emotions such as anger and spite, we actually shoot off a second arrow to ourselves, and this time it will not hurt twice as much, but ten times or more!

Playing Limbo Rock with a Nobel Peace Prize Winner: Ousting Muhammad Yunus from Grameen Bank. How Low Can You Go! Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus recently got ousted from his brainchild, Grameen Bank. This bank, which he founded after returning to Bangladesh to lend a hand in the country's post-independence development, has emerged into an archetype for human awareness. Yunus is being discredited by a government that sees in him a powerful threat for political leadership. The world is watching.

A sober take on setbacks None of us is perfect. Setbacks will therefore always occur, and often at the least convenient time. However, there are multiple perspectives possible to everything in life. Whatever we do, we should do with an optimistic and positive mind in general, and not with a focus that is too narrow.Setbacks are perspectives, so we can change them.

However, Wikileaks could also bring tremendous human progress, such as less manipulation, increased collective intelligence, end of global segregation, enlarged mental horizons, and restoration of global balance.

Paving the Way to Happiness: Knowing your Purpose Personal mastery is rewarding. It gains even more ground when what you do fulfills a gratifying purpose. Formulating your purpose is not always easy. It requires some self-exploration, and a critical review of your activities. When searching for your purpose be careful about engaging in other people's purpose; understand that not everyone has the same notion of purpose; and keep in mind that even your own purpose may change.

Wikileaks: Potential Key to the Big Three Wikileaks could be seen as a natural fraction of the sensation that is the 21st century. Once Wikileaks is as commonly accepted as Wikipedia, we may finally start witnessing the big three: 1. More forthrightness from sources that are supposed to be trustworthy; 2. Greater access to information thus far amassed by a precious few; 3. Greater balance among human beings.
