Two Opinions on Inner Joy This is a monthly column on becoming a great human being and has two opinions on the subject from western and eastern part of the world namely Michael Thallium from Spain and Dr Amit Nagpal from India. Michael Thallium, Spain Writing on the inner joy has been a challenge for me. In the begining I wanted to explain and show what it means, but then I realized that I would become too theoretical if I would do so.

Two Perspectives on 'What Matters Most ?' Two different perspectives on the same topic  from two different continents, cultures, and genders viz. Janet Smith Warfield, J.D. from Florida, USA and Dr. Amit Nagpal from New Delhi, India Janet Smith Warfield's perspective Well, what does matter most? Things? People? Love? Living your values? What if we simplify the question. What if we ask instead, “What matters most right here, right now, in this moment? And what if we add “What matters most right here, right now, in this moment, to you.” Not always easy to answer, even when we narrow it down to the present moment and you. But it is far easier than asking the general question we started out with, “What matters most?” So many things matter: our homes, our families, our pets, our jobs, our cars, our lawns, our communities, our churches.             And what about love, peace of mind, non-vio...
