Assumptions rule our actions and relationships.

If we assume that Human Nature is driven by self-interest, Mother Nature is an endless storehouse of treasures and a dumping ground for our waste, and that success is measured by GNP (Gross National Product) we get one set of actions.

If we assume that Human Nature is prone to cooperation in cohesive community,  Mother Nature is a benevolent lover, and that success is measured by GNH (Gross National Happiness) we get another set of actions.

What will it be in 2013?  May your assumptions be blessed with endearing community, frugal abundance, and superb happiness.
