Thanks for your ideas. Kim, I'll figure out what's wrong with the podcast and have my trusty left brain Deb email you! Dear Sushil – I so agree with you, especially about the thoughts mistaken for emotions that we don’t have time to feel…I look at the younger generation college aged kids and wonder if they can feel much at all – in general, of course. Thanks for your ideas.

In this context I want to post a part from my article which examines the effects of consumerism and fast culture on our minds and environment. The article also explains why "artists" feel more emotion than non-artists/other people. The link between Mind and Social / Environmental-Issues. The fast-paced, consumerist lifestyle of Industrial Society is causing exponential rise in psychological problems besides destroying the environment. All issues are interlinked. Our Minds cannot be peaceful when attention-spans are down to nanoseconds, microseconds and milliseconds. Our Minds cannot be peaceful if we destroy Nature. Industrial Society Destroys Mind and Environment. Subject : In a fast society slow emotions become extinct. Subject : A thinking mind cannot feel. Subject : Scientific/ Industrial/ Financial thinking destroys the planet. Emotion is what we experience during gaps in our thinking. If there are no gaps there is no emotion. Today people are thinking all the time and are mistaking thought (words/ language) for emotion.
