One World: One Society: Bring Down All Frontiers
One World: One Society, No frontiers
Frontiers are man made.
We impose geopolitical frontiers on ourselves.
We create our own ghettos and live within it.
We create walls of separation among ourselves.
We distinguish ourselves from the others for we think we are better.
Well, if we you have one nose and I have two, does this make me better than you are? I can only breathe more air, and maybe take your share of oxygen.
But I don’t.
We both have one nose each, so what’s the difference?
Two heads or One
If the man in New York has two heads and the man in Beijing has one then there is a difference, in shape. Does the man in New York think better for he has two heads? Or would he be mixed up in thinking, for one head can think something while the other thinks the opposite?
But, the American has only one and so the man in China.
Every human being has one head, with one case or two in the history of humanity.
We all have the same form and shape. We all have the same needs, whether basic or secondary. We all are born of parents, We all age. We all think. We all eat and drink. We all have to sleep. We all confront the universe by obligation. Then, we all have to die. No immortals left to tell our stories to other generations.
Sharing Same Things
Have you heard of someone who breathes water while you breathe air?
Do you know of one individual who breathes carbon dioxide while you breathe oxygen?
We all practice love (sweethearts or parents, children or animals). We all practice emotions of friendship and enmity, of appreciation and hatred; of hope and despair; of fear and surety.
States: Big Prisons
But we live in big prisons, man made. For some consider themselves are better than others.
It is when a group of people decide that they are better than others that distinctions begins. This sense of distinction creates a sense of difference. The sense of difference creates identification with the group leading to physical separation from others. It is this that starts off isolation. Identification with the same kind does not create the need for separation. But it is rather the result of wanting to be separated.
The history of mankind demonstrates this human separatist tendency from the rest of the flock.
Animal World
Animals live in groups. These are species identification features which prompt different characteristics. A herd of chimpanzees live separately from a herd of Lyons; wolves live separately from sheep; elephants live separately from zebras.
But all animals live in the same jungle. There is room for everyone.
But Man’s species is one and the same, exactly the same. A Frenchman foes to the same doctor as a Japanese. He can have the same illness as his fellowman. They are both treated equally. They both have the same treatment. They both have the same medicaments if symptoms of the same illness are presented.
The Frenchman believes he is French and identifies the Japanese as Japanese.
Distinction is often practiced on the account of skin color. Jesus is presented as black in some African countries. He might have been black, but what difference does make if Jesus was black or white, Red blue or yellow?
Countries of the European Union are recently united, despite their differences of language, of belief-systems or non belief-systems, of their conflicts and war, of their individual chauvinism.
The African countries have been in the process of uniting their efforts to bring a unity to Africa.
South African states are doing the same.
Ideology and Religion
Last century has witnessed two great super powers conflicting in complete opposition to one another. The United States and Western Europe on the one hand and the Soviet Union on the other.
Every super power boasts with its own ideology. Every super power claims to be better than the other.
They divided up the world into zones of influence. Each Power feeding its own ideology to small states spreading its influence. The world was divided up into zones of protection ideologically belonging to To one or the other.
Now the socialist experience has completely failed and the United States is left alone in the arena to dominate the world. The United States with its capitalist ideology, which means rich people poor people; strong people weak people; master people slave people; leading people submitting people, attempts, and has well succeeded, to dominate a great part of the world.
Might is right, and money opens all doors.
Religion and belief systems
Man is free to choose and practice whatever belief system he likes. There is no compulsion in religion. For everyone his own religion. A society is by definition a multicultural consociation of humans. It contains all mankind with all their thoughts, aspirations and actions.
While morality is the basic foundation of humanity, individuality is preserved to denote the freedom of man and his value.
New Leviathan
The United States exploits its military power to dominate other states and subdue other peoples.
It uses its economic influence to buy other states.
It spreads its influence now, since there is no rival,
To bring its culture, or no culture, other weak states, even strong ones like China and Israel.
Well, human history is a history of dominance and power. The strong eats up the weak.
It is when people awake to their rights and responsibilities that such a tide of power influence
Can be stopped.
Difficult, but it must be done.
Religion is another factor in creating ghettos. It is a very strong element in separation from the others.
After what the criminals of humanity besides Stalin, Paul Pot we have Ben Laden and his religious Mafia al-Qaeda, destroying and killing in the name of religion. In the name of God man kills man. In the name of ideology man kills man. In the name of a country man kills man.
Then we have the worst of all enemies to humanity: the Dictator. How many millions were killed for the glory of Napoleon Bonaparte? How many millions were killed for the glory of Mao Tse Tung? Hoe many millions were killed for the Japonese Emperor Hiro hito and the glory of Mussolini and Hitler. Fifty million people have lost their lives in World War II.
Now we have two hundred ruthless psychopaths dominating over seven billion humans. These are the main handicap that hinders peoples’ unity.
Do you think they are prepared to give up their thrones for the world to unite?
Never.
The World offers everything
The world offers all humans everything. Their means of subsistence, their means of survival and much more. There is room for everyone. There is enough food for everyone.
If rich states and their dominant dictators share their wealth with world population then there shall be enough for everybody.
Monopolization of wealth in the hands of few hundreds of rich people deprives the world from their means of subsistence.
It is when dictators step down from their thrones; when rich people share equally their wealth of the people and when willingness of mankind to see that there no differences between humans that human ghettos are finally broken down; frontiers are demolished and world society can live in harmony and in peace.
A dream, and a big one,
but the one thousand mile trip starts with the First Step.
