"The End of economic Growth" - it's not about GROWTH but about QUALITY, if you had to choose, would you prefer to live longer or better :

is coquetry one of the many appearances of despair - maybe Kierkegaard could tell

to make a difference's not enough to live good, one has to know what's influencing what, in what way & with which tendency & outcome - focus

i understand by heart, tendency & possibility
*
prices are seductive, before the price one has to look for the value, contained points of decisive quality io to decide constructive

one has to settle willingly & conscious how the dices fall & where the water flows to, that's nature, humility, reason & unspoiled success

success alone doesn't tell if's right, it can just serve an addiction, it pays off but destroys, that's the way we live now

we all are prone to follow the success & to follow the price, that's the way how we let seduce & spoil us

it's not about to be seduced & spoiled, but about to know & follow what's right & to withstand the wrong, that's not morality that's reason

what went just wrong with morality & ethics, we know them for thousands of years & are yet not better humans - to understand

we think we know how to understand, we had to think twice, means to doubt that thought, it's seducing, we seduce us not to think further

morality - ethics - value - virtue - tendency - outcome - result - vision
*
maybe is ETHOS nothing more than OUTCOME & of course nothing less

the own feeling follows exceedingly often just the own habit, that's nothing but cloning with the same destructive outcomes

you cannot compel someone to understand, to make, yes, by violence, but not to understand & to follow because of that understanding

how to discearn what's right & what's wrong - measurement [ dice ]

quality : the percentage between output/input & outcome/income - so the question is - what's outcome - because just output/input is quantity

Between us and objects develops the imperative to pass a certain judgment, the content of which...does not reside in the things themselves

wiki : Jose Ortega y Gasset was, along with Kant, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche, a proponent of the idea of PERSPECTIVISM. - that's a good one

Yo soy yo y mi circunstancia y si no la salvo a ella no me salvo yo. José Ortega y Gasset "Meditaciones del Quijote"

Yo soy yo y mi circunstancia y si no la salvo a ella no me salvo yo. - I am me & my circumstances & by not solving them i don't solve me.

Gebildet ist, wer weiss wo er findet, was er nicht weiss. - Educated is, who does know where to find what he doesn't know. - Georg Simmel

probably the most unfortunate trait in people is the ability to endure unhappiness, for decades & with the help of all sorts of drugs
