A superb interview, which I will share with friends, and on various websites. A wise, courageous and compassionate man. Our obsession with continual GDP growth, and consumerism, is costing us the Earth and our happiness. We must demonstrate to others that there is an alternative way of together living in harmony on this wonderful planet and promoting ecology, equality, fairness, wealth and health 💚🌏💚

16:03 Why trust matters in a community. * Trust is fundamental to wellbeing. * We came with trust in our heart. Better to be let down than live in fear. Book: Pilgrimage For Peace Long walk through 15 countries I suffered everything.... deserts, snow, hunger, blisters... I trusted every body, every time. * Rebuilding trust: * Lack of love, lack of compassion, lack of support has made them negative. With courage we can solve the problem when it comes. You can act out of anger and fear or act with compassion.

Satish Kumar Ji, with respect I must advise that wellbeing in NOT NATURAL. Nature inflicts a lot of evil stuff on humans regularly. Staying well is UNNATURAL. If you dont beat nature you get disease debility and death. NO ONE has ever fought off death not even debility and disease. Let us get real for a change That would be a good start. Happiness too is unnatural. Natural course of events is replete with 10 D's or tendies. - Tendies - dollar-affiliated (debts to declaration of insolvency), disease-disability-debilitation depotentiation, drug-dependencies, disputes & disagreements, death/divorce, dignity decline (disreputation), displacement & deportations, debris of domicile, disasters in environment, devastations desecration & divine castigation.

Who might have influenced Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr for their non violence and love principles in theory and practice ?

[@billsmith7287]

I naturally I like and agree with his beliefs. But there are problems for me. "You are a human being and I trust you" The idea that the nature of humankind is fundamentally good is only a general truth. Since the issue discussed, the destruction of nature for profit is the outcome of humankind also being selfish and opportunist by nature and at times evil certainly not good. He takes a contemporary view of progressiveness but that is questionable too. He like my mother Anglo Burmese and myself are from a colonial background. Can we say that all aspects of colonialism were bad? No, it is much more complex.
