Shamou, why do you feel that a planet where all are happy and successful is impossible? Why do you insist on something different? What have you got to lose? Is that how Anthony Robbins tackles things? Only a few weeks ago I listened to one of his latest powertalks, and he's advising a woman, who's just been raped, and who's son is dying of cancer, and who is totally devastated and without hope, to believe beyond all doubt, to be certain beyond all doubt that her son can heal. And not just to believe it, to act like it is a done deal. To believe that no matter what anything is possible, and to convey that message to her son with all her power. To be the parent that he needs, and to give him the hope that he needs. That was his advice to the woman who had just been raped. And yet, here we have a millionaire, a man who by his own assertion 'has got it all' not only telling kids not to believe in a planet where all can foster and be happy and fullfilled, but mocking them in the process.
