Happy New Year 2013

When I say the civilization we live in is doomed, people panic.

They should not. Only sixty years ago, we literally bombed Germany and Japan into the Stone Age. Yet the Japanese and Germans rebuilt. Japan and Germany are among the world's leading economies today. (The Marshall Plan was not responsible.) Fifty years ago, South Korea was devastated. South Koreans too have rebuilt their country. Russians and Chinese paid the biggest price — by orders of magnitude — for the Second World War. They also suffered decades of Communist mismanagement. China has been growing by leaps and bounds in the last few years. Russia is doing quite well considering the disasters of the 20th century from which Russia is recovering. India, China and other former colonies are moving up fast: tiny Singapore is a leader.

"Those who are last, soon will be first. For the times they are a-changin."

No one is going to — or is threatening to — bomb us into The Stone Age. We have been among the Top Dogs since 1066. We have been Top Dog most of the time. Look at history. That is changing as others have been catching up. The empire we live in is doomed. The British Empire was gone forty years ago. Washington's empire will be gone soon. Everyone else has hammered their swords into ploughshares. They have been selling high quality ploughshares to us for very attractive prices. We, as a people, are not doomed. We will join the human race and do the same as others. We are good at what we do. Turn your back on the warmongers. The future is bright, prosperous, peaceful and ecologically friendly too.

Happy New Year!

Love,

Dreams

Lifting heavy weights — combination exercises with low reps — is the best way to build strength. These exercises are the opposite of what everyone does in most gyms. Women run for hours on treadmills and men do isolation exercises with high reps on exercise machines. Here is Valentin Dikul. He is one of the ten strongest men on the planet. Dikul recovered from a broken back when he was 17. After many years of hard work, he rehabilitated himself from a wheelchair to become a Russian circus strongman. Dikul is the same age as me, 65. NOTE: Most people get no exercise. They sit, watching TV, working at a computer or driving a vehicle. They eat bad food and "food" that is not food like Big Macs, french fries and Cola. They go to doctors for drugs when they get cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Pain and indigestion have been the most common complaints throughout a century of modern living.

Saskatchewan — especially Regina — is like a bucket of crabs. When one of the crabs tries to climb out, the others pull him back into the bucket. I escaped three times, but I always came back, thinking what I had learned would be valued here. The next time I get away, I'll be gone for good. By the Grace of God, I am younger and healthier today than I have ever been. No one here cares of course. It makes no difference to most what I do. They are busy climbing over the others to be top crab in the bucket. Most are not interested in "philosophy". My existence confronts them with who they are and what this place is. Happily, if things continue as they have for the last 12 years, when I'm 75, I'll be 21. Many nice folks here would rather see me in a home "under a doctor's care" swallowing pharmaceutical drugs three times a day like them — or dead in a cemetery. I'd rather be in Fiji with my beautiful wife and our wonderful children. That is my dream. The crabs are welcome to their own dreams. Anyone who would like to know what I have done can visit Fitness-Health-Happiness, MorleyEvans.com or write to me at morleyevans [at] morleyevans.com. I may be able to help.
