‘One
world’ is the primary need for the survival of the human race.
The
concept of ‘One World One Way Many Paths’ has been the ethos of human
civilization for centuries. Philosophers and Religious texts have propagated
such a belief. The global society is on the horns of a dilemma; why is the
world riddled with major conflicts?
Look
around you. Some of us try to insulate ourselves from issues that have
created unrest in another country or continent. It helps for a period of
time. Can we with certainty define the time period before the same unrest
engulfs our community?
Let us
not forget that all of us living on this planet share common resources. Such
resources are critical to the existence of mankind. Where is the question of
demarcating physical boundaries? Will such boundaries help is creating a
differential global warming?
Fossil
fuel today is in the fore. The focus of the geo political strategy is
energy. In the next decade it would be drinking water, shrinking land mass
owing to global warming and the rise of ocean levels. During a recent visit
to a major oil producing country I found that fuel was far cheaper than
potable water. Are the dynamics clearly pointing out the causes for major
sustained global conflicts in future?
The
nature of financial scams that have sprouted in most countries clearly
points at the rising levels of human GREED. "Do to no one what you yourself
dislike." ~ Tobit 4:15. Every religion in the planet preaches this dictum.
What
is the ‘Many paths’ we are trying to identify? Is it the semantics of
worship? Is it the mannerisms of individuals? Whatever one may say or do,
the path leads to a common goal – brotherhood. Everything else is minor in
comparison.
‘One
world’ is a philosophy of
Life. ‘One world’
is the primary need for the survival of the human race.
