“Dance is the hidden language of the soul” -Martha Graham

Dance is the outer expression of our inner perception of life and all its aspects. It is a non-verbal method of communication utilizing body movements, facial expressions and hand positions in tune with music. There are countless dance styles around the world, each representing a way of life, different cultures, ethnicities, belief systems, social structures, traditions and aspirations.

What is common amongst all these forms is that each of these dances is a representation of something that touches our individual soul-place, emotion, person, event, goal, nature and all else that life offers. As such, the individual and communal benefits of dance are far deeper reaching than the common perception of dancing for fun, and something to enjoy watching.

“Immature love says: ‘I love you because I need you.’ Mature love says ‘I need you because I love you’.” ~Erich Fromm

How often have you thought you were truly in love, only to lose those in-love feelings after a few months? Have you believed you were in love but discovered that you were ‘in need’ instead?

Emotional Dependency

• Are you making up the person you think you are in love with?
• Have you discovered from past relationships that you have a tendency to idealize people?
• Do you project onto them how you want them to be, rather than how they are?
• Are you primarily focused on how your partner treats you, rather than who he or she really is inside?
• Are you overly impressed by how this person makes you feel...

We buy stuff to cheer ourselves up, to keep up with the Joneses, to fulfill our childhood vision of what our adulthood would be like, to broadcast our status to the world, and for a lot of other psychological reasons that have very little to do with how useful the product really is. How much stuff is in your basement or garage that you haven’t used in the past year?

The real reason for the forty-hour workweek

The ultimate tool for corporations to sustain a culture of this sort is to develop the 40-hour workweek as the normal lifestyle. Under these working conditions people have to build a life in the evenings and on weekends. This arrangement makes us naturally more inclined to spend heavily on entertainment and conveniences because our free time is so scarce.

Without Internet accessibility for all, ‘world’s full potential for prosperity and innovation’ will be stifled, think tank says.

That was among the findings of a survey by the think tank Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) and conducted by global research company Ipsos.
