Paul RETI's Comments

Hi Paul! Thanks for writing to welcome me to IPeace...I don't disagree with anything in your own profile - especially the point about everyone being bigoted in some way or another, because I think that is one characteristic of human beings which many of us don't like to admit to but that everyone has, so I appreciate your saying so. I also want to note that I had a very hard time choosing one thing that I feel is the biggest obstacle for peace but I finally chose 'Religion' for the reason I gave, however, l believe that Prejudice, Bigotry, Hate, Fear and Ignorance (to name the top 6 reasons, incl Religion) are just as much to blame. Unfortunately, many religious leaders perpetuate the prejudice, bigotry, hatred, fear and ignorance of 'the other' in their sermons to their followers, many of whom blindly accept the words of their leader, without question, as the words of God! In any case, all of the above reasons add up to ONE HUGE OBSTACLE and yet I think we must allow ourselves the hope that, one day, this huge obstacle might be overcome.

I think of myself as a realist, not a pessimist, but many see me as a pessimist because I don't believe in setting myself up for disappointment or despair with fantastical ideas about 'happy endings', if you will, such as "I'm sure we will see world peace in our lifetime". Which is the reason I answered "Maybe" to the question about an individual being able to help affect change in the world but now that I have had time to think more on this question (which refers to an individual being able to "help affect change"), I do believe each one of us can play a part in helping to affect change, yes. If each individual adds his/her voice to all the other individuals who believe in the same cause, we will at least be able to make ourselves heard, loud and clear, and that's a start.

Paul, thanks again for writing to me and for making me think more thoroughly about my answers to these questions and the issues they address. I really appreciate it!

Hopefully, we'll be able to speak again soon.

Take care,
Sandi Muise

birth of the aqua-lung

Jacques-Yves Cousteau (11 June 1910 – 25 June 1997)

French naval officer, explorer, ecologist, filmmaker, innovator,
scientist, photographer, author and researcher who studied the sea
and all forms of life in water.

He co-developed the aqua-lung (Feb 3, 1943), pioneered marine
conservation and was a member of the Académie française.

He is known as "le Commandant Cousteau" or "Captain Cousteau".




A small Green Sea Turtle was found along a rock wall
near the Dive In dive center in Key Largo,
completely covered with thick, black oil.
The baby turtle was rescued, using mayonnaise
(which dissolves the oil without harming the turtle)

Immeasurable beauty lives where dolphins swim free...
We are so blessed to experience life
on such a beautiful planet...

Although, blind to her beauty....
industrial giants profit as they destroy
the loving whales alive...
and dolphins now swim in their toxic cocktails...
If we do not defend the Living Oceans
from the industrial profiteers,
who will...



How can we be so blind... to so much beauty...



For all of time....
and the infinite universe...
we only have ONE planet...



In all the universe...
We have the only Living Oceans...

Hi Paul,
I created this group called Basic Income Guarantee - The End of Poverty. Guess you probably heard about it, as I think the idea is widely more spread in Australia & NZ than in Norway, where I live. Hope you will take a minute to check it out and hopefully join in!
Peace, love & joy!

Thank you for welcoming my daughter Genna to the fold.

you have a sense of humor that could go a long way in changing the world or at least somebody's mind.

Just a quick hello. I love your status remark. What so many would give to be able to say that they are thriving. :-)

Have a wonderful Sunday!
