Whuffie recaptured the true essence of money: in the old days, if you were broke but respected, you wouldn’t starve; contrariwise if you were rich and hated, no sum could buy you security and peace.

“The realization dawns that the two laws which manifest themselves in an almost endless variety of ways are the very fabric of life itself and that an escape from their diametrically opposing demands is therefore impossible” (The Inward Odyssey by Edith B Schnapper - Photo ‘Kyoto, Japan’ by Dirk Buwalda)
We took a young journalist from an Amsterdam based newspaper out on a diving tour. It was great fun. But unfortunately she missed the Crème de la Crème and didn’t stay for the weekly open dinner. See the translation in English.
Just as people have eyes so see light with and ears to hear sounds with, so they have hearts for the appreciation of time. And all the time they fail to appreciate is as wasted on them as the colours of the rainbow are wasted on a blind person or the nightingale’s song on a deaf one

A journalist approached me to go dumpster diving at a government building. We agreed to go via the official way and we received permission to go through their waste-bins to do a full inspection of how they deal with waste. The score was some nice sandwhiches, long talks about waste-management and a great day. And what’s more: their bins are available to dive!
