Talking about the WIRtschafts with friends

* Interest in WIRtschaften
* Uncertainty
* Meeting with friends
* an introductory question
* Openness and curiosity

I don't really know where some of my friends stand on the subject of "doing business differently", what they think about it or what they know. Sure, somehow I know that they are not extreme consumers, and that they don't think everything that is going on is okay. But what the will to change looks like, and if anyone has looked into it more... actually, I don't really know. Although I give it a lot of thought, I've avoided this topic so far. Well, I don't want to burden a light-hearted evening with such a heavy topic. And besides, I don't have all the answers myself and have a hard time paraphrasing the topic well at all, so that the most important thing is said in a nutshell....
It is not important whether you yourself are an expert on a particular topic. You can still talk about it and say what moves you about it. Especially when it comes to the economy, no one has all the answers anyway. Besides, it's well known that you can discuss children or dogs, even if you don't have any yourself.
So - just do it! A good introductory question might be: I recently discovered a good website on the topic of ECONOMY. Do you think that our current economy makes people happy? Or: Lately, I've often wondered why our economic system doesn't change, even though so many people are unhappy or even exploited.
It's sure to be an inspiring evening that everyone will remember for a long time. And who knows what will develop from it. Probably more interesting conversations...

Modifications
* The opening question can also be modified into an emotional-personal statement: I get sad when I think about how we treat other people / nature.
* Increase the level of difficulty and raise the issue at the relatives meeting ; )

Making a movie night about the WIRtschafts

* Interest in other economies
* Time and desire for an inspiring evening
* an Internet-enabled computer (or DVD + player)


"Economics can be this beautiful" - an ironic statement...? In any case, the sentence struck me as somehow oblique. It clearly demonstrated to me what image I have of business. But there are many examples that show: Economy can also be meaningful, cooperative and full of joy. If we shape it that way. A number of films have also been made about this, which are wonderfully suitable for a short film evening.
So - pop some popcorn and get cozy on the sofa.

Now to the FILM TIPS
CAUTION: These films can change the way you think and act!

Turning resentment into compassionate joy

* Resentment, envy
* Self-reflection and insight
* Will to change or good intentions
* Kitschy sayings card (or similar)
* Liberating fellow joy, an open-sincere smile.

Actually, I had thought of myself as benevolent and not at all begrudging or envious. Until I realized at my first job that a begrudging feeling was creeping up on me: I couldn't really begrudge a colleague who had started at the same time as me the success of her project. I would have preferred to get the super praise from the new boss. Really - I was actually jealous!
When I admitted this to myself, I was surprised, because I had never experienced this before. And I have also observed in myself that it is not so easy to get out of one's resentment, even if one resolves to do so.
Just at that time, I ran across a saying on one of those cheesy saying cards that helped me a lot and that I like to remember: "He who rejoices in the happiness of others, his own will flourish."
EXACTLY! So I can also increase my own well-being with my co-joy. That was my thought key. I could sincerely rejoice with my colleague and instead of an imposed, inwardly forced smile, I could freely rejoice with her. How beautiful!

Variations:
The kitsch card can also be replaced by a saying without a kitsch card, a different mental anchor, a conversation with friends about fellow joy, etc.
Example for the joyful transfer to groups: There is now a second Urban Gardening initiative in the village? That's great! The more, the better! Form a network and share equipment and knowledge with each other. Celebrate together.
