La lacrimología es una religión que describe el camino que debe seguir una persona para llegar a una vida iluminada; es la experiencia de la pena, y de sus lágrimas sanando en la naturaleza. Digamos que los dolores de la vida ya sean físicos o mentales, son el medio para una mayor comprensión y apreciación de los reinos sensoriales y metafísicos. Este texto explica el proceso por el cual la Lacrimología considera los sentimientos y pensamientos sin entusiasmo y los convierte en alegría para una persona que, mientras llora, se acerca a una conciencia iluminada y a la rectitud, y es llevada a su estado más elevado de ser.

Peter Barnes argues that because of globalization, automation, and winner - take - all capitalism, there won't be enough high - paying jobs to sustain America's middle class in the future. Therefore, to survive economically, our middle class needs - and deserves - a supplementary source of nonlabor income. To meet this need, Barnes proposes to give every American a share of the wealth we own together - starting with our air and financial infrastructure. These shares would pay dividends of several thousand dollars per year - money that wouldn't be welfare or wealth redistribution but legitimate property income.
