‘Do you see all those stars up there? There are millions and millions of them. “I sat in a reverie staring at the stars, the sky was silver with them,” she wrote in The Lonely Life. Much of Davis’s life could be seen as a rebuke to her father, Harlow-a stern, Harvard-trained patent lawyer whom she could never please. As her autobiographies prove, there was so much more to Davis’s wild life even than what we saw in 2017’s Feud, which charted her fabled dispute with co-star Joan Crawford. Consequently, her 1962 autobiography The Lonely Life and its 1987 follow-up, This ‘N That, are not short of opinions-many hard-edged, but a few remarkably tender. Born Ruth Elizabeth Davis in 1908, the legendary movie star was a tireless perfectionist and workaholic with little patience for those who did not share her vision. Recognizing that international associations are generally confronting world problems and developing action strategies based on particular values, the initial content was based on the descriptions, aims, titles and profiles of international associations.Opinions? Bette Davis had a few. UIA’s decades of collected data on the enormous variety of association life provided a broad initial perspective on the myriad problems of humanity. The initial content for the Encyclopedia was seeded from UIA’s Yearbook of International Organizations. By concentrating on these links and relationships, the Encyclopedia is uniquely positioned to bring focus to the complex and expansive sphere of global issues and their interconnected nature. These connections are based on a range of relationships such as broader and narrower scope, aggravation, relatedness and more. It is currently published as a searchable online platform with profiles of world problems, action strategies, and human values that are interlinked in novel and innovative ways. The Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential is a unique, experimental research work of the Union of International Associations. It refuses to accept responsibility for gratification of desires, sexual acts nor overwhelming desires, such as, the lust for power. It sometimes evokes passion in others only to reject them. Lust in its expression is cruel, at the least in the sense of being exploitative and a betrayal of the deepest levels of trust. At its root is pride and covetousness, pride in the desire to control and covetousness in the need to possess. Lust does not desire continuity of relationship but immediate gratification. Its end is neither procreation nor an expression of love. It denies the need and ability to give and receive. Lust is self destructive in the sense that it denies the ability to make choices about partners, it takes whoever is available. Lust is not simply sexuality nor sexual drives it is the perversion of these necessary and creative aspects of humanness. Lust is using sexuality for the purposes of self enhancement and self satisfaction.
