"Consider the situation as it exists in the media. On television, for example, the preferred daily sex and violence. I doubt the producers of these programs really want nuirent society. They just want a financial gain. That is their priority. They seem to have little sense of social responsibility.
On the other hand, the public seems to appreciate the feelings that these television programs it provides. The public is concerned too.

But as I said before, each individual is responsible for reducing the negativity of the situations it faces.
If you want to change the world, first try to improve yourself, you transform.
Wherever I go, I always try to emphasize the notion of responsibility individual. So should we ever say: "I am insignificant. What I do not count."

's power and responsibility of media


" Governments Political and religious leaders must recognize today that they are not the only ones to wield power, nor even an authority. That of the press is known, has long been analyzed. the radio, and more television, now takes a central place. Regardless of how it operates.
Direct or indirect, is real power, which acts on us, that changes our behavior, our tastes and probably our thinking.
Like any authority, it may not apply to chance, anyhow.
Those who run these chains, and those who fund them, have power, they like it or not.
This power gives them a responsibility similar to the religious or political responsibility. They help them to establish and maintain a human community.
The welfare of this community should be their primary concern. "

an open heart and warm ...

Here ... Now ...


Wherever we are,
walking, communicating with others,
listening to a lecture, music,
writing, reading books that attract us ...
or notes from our friends ...
are we truly "present"
are we really in "the here and now?
* * *


[...] "You've probably all heard the phrase" here and now. "
If we consider as an intellectual ideal, it sounds wonderful.
But when we take it as a theme for meditation, we realize the difficulty of experience. For example, right now, how many of us are really present "here and now?
Our body is, but we are also with our minds?
Maybe some of you are thinking: "Oh, I must leave soon, I live far away, do not I miss the train ... "You're not really" here "with us!
And what about "now"?
We can ask how many are attentive and really listen, we hear words, but it is also often a little voice that says, "Oh, that's interesting, so I already knew, this is stupid .. .! "

Thus, these simple words" here and now, if we examine them with an intellectual, nor are ultimately philosophical or psychological.
Yet when we really try to implement this practice can become a lifetime ... be "here and now."
In the practice of meditation ... and this time, I'm not talking about meditation itself but to its practice (in fact, meditation can be practiced, but only carried out) ... it does not really matter whether we are not able to achieve this state of presence "here and now", but is in its exercise that we discover what truly great journey of meditation.
Like when I asked you earlier if you were present here and now ", I was not trying to establish a ruling on this, but I just tried to call a certain awareness. Are we "here"? "Now"? Maybe
than we think, but are we really?
When we observe this process, we can just see things that prevent us from being. That is the practice of meditation that gives us understanding, wisdom and ability to see things as they are. "[...]
