Be Wise Aphorisms By Doctor Deo 19may2020

1. We, humans, belong to Earth, rather than earth belongs to us. 2. One handicap we have is our biggest organ (NOT THAT!) but our SKIN: The skin gives us a false sense that we are separated from the environment and other life. 3. A bird in the air, a fish or whale in the ocean, do not have this ALIENATION from the environment on which they depend. Humans make this odd dichotomy between the internal and external. 4. With life forms, there is only "inside-outside" for Science, or boxing and dissecting, to "get knowledge" (as opposed to wisdom). Death is a great leveler, as the Poet wrote. Death makes us one with the environment, the elements, even if we disagree with Genesis that God made ADAM (meaning "man") from "dust." Wisdom is evident in Bhutan, which includes for Global economics, GDP and GROSS HUMAN HAPPINESS. Hence their KING helped a sick US tourist - without a spleen - overcome Corona virus, though he is in his 70s, a miracle we shall hear more about for how some "dead" people are really more alive now.
