I just read the latest essay in TIME magazine by kurt Andersen " that was then and this is NOw"
On how the end of the era of excess is good for the US.
He talks at some point, about the turn of the 20th century and how England had to face the fact that it would have to relinquish its Supremacy over the world and take its place as one among the many. Between the 2 world wars it contracted to a nation within its physical limits and that is when America came up to the forefront. Now the turn of this century is seeing America go thro something of the same kind. The crisis ,as we so call it and are terrorised by, is probably the fear of losing the forefront spot only. If we wilfully contract and change our ways to step in and march along with the nations of the world which we have so far resisted...it might be easier on us.

This is not a race. it is life in the global level and to fit in and walk in tandem not run wild hither and thither and lose it all..

Change is the only reality as philosophies and spirituality often quotes. To accept and go along with it helps more than to resist.

Including deep and simple philosophical life lessons into our kids curriclum might help them face life better than us.

Hollywood already does this through its recent cartoon ventures "Cars" and "KungFu panda".

Watch them discuss lessons learned with kids.
One more way of interacting with you family.
