Will we ever achieve world peace?
One would think that as time goes by the world will become increasingly civilized, people more united and in harmony with each other. We have made huge advances in arts, sciences, medicine and technology. On the contrary, the advances in communication and travel has made our earth a smaller place with people of different thinking - whatever that thinking may be - conflicting with each other. Other advances in technology have replaced the stones and sticks our ancestors used with missiles and atomic bombs. Instead of moving towards a unified world populace we find ourselves moving in the opposite direction. A world increasingly in conflict.
People rely on their leaders, their governments and other governments to talk to each other and fix differences. Let's look at some examples: North and South Korea, Israel and Palestine, Pakistan & India, Zimbabwe, Somalia to name a few. This is not going to happen unless humans evolve to a higher plane.
Look at what is happening in Iran today. Iran has largely blocked access to modes of communication to their citizens. Yet there is huge communication happening between people in Iran and the rest of the world via Twitter, Facebook, etc. Yet there is obviously no communication between the opponent camps in Iran! Just like there is no communication between the people of North and South Korea, Palistinians and Israelies, Indians and Pakistanis.
What we need to do is to depend less on our leaders and more on ourselves and our fellow men to talk to each other, understand each other, build bridges and respect differences. Towards this end I have created discussion groups for each country on earth. Please find your country in the link below, join the discussion group and invite others to join in the discussion.
Do do not have to be a citizen of a country to join that group. For example people of North and South Korea can join each others group as well and start talking. Click on the link below to find the groups you wish to join.
Subscribe and invite others to your country's discussion group.
