		<description><![CDATA[In this blog, I’ve very often discussed happiness which at first glance may seem unrelated to sustainability.  However, as I see it, the two are quite inter-related because the fundamental drive of people, perhaps even the purpose of life is to find happiness.  In the world we are now creating, people believe they will be [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=sustainabilitypuzzle.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1805687&amp;post=120&amp;subd=sustainabilitypuzzle&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

However, I also believe that the values and morals we learn from them can only take us so far.

The result is images without the burden of consequences making them an unrealistic estimates of what or how that utopia will be achieved.
