People from all
backgrounds, cultures, colors and beliefs have sought happiness, the concept of
which the god has implanted in all us, even though in many myriad forms along
with the many complex instincts and habits – in a place, where it has seemed
that it would be possible away from the attritions of the apparitions that have
grown to live as parasites on the souls of people - called America.
People have taken
to speaking one language, eating similar foods, working on common projects for
common goals. They have even re-defined the meaning of happiness in a dynamic
manner to mean things they pursue to please them – and have agreed to abide by
strict rules for the system to be cherished and survive for their children,
while loving the security of a simple future.
Three strikes is a
really strong law and it has been accepted without a murmur, so to speak. But
now it seems there is the reappearance of the ghosts of times and places past –
which are haunting people to the extent they are feeling insecure to the core.
There is some warmth in the physical comforts but in itself there is loss of direction.
America has to deal
with these ghosts in a more dynamic and adaptable manner so that they remain
banished and restrained for all times in the future, while having a strategy to
deal with them whenever they rise.
The love of America
for centuries now, clearly proves that if the selfishness were to get
diminished in individual groups, world would like to become America. It has
been striving to be so with all the trade deals, climate agreements, monetary
controls, global awards, global investments, internet, TV, music, movies and
even dreams.
There is a real
possibility, while assessing the resources of the globe, that proper
understanding and management can free not only the present 8 Billion but many
times more people with satisfaction of most physical and mental needs of the
people in a sustainable and simple manner – including allowing them to enjoy
their sordid dreams and/ or spirituality.
In this, all we
have to learn to practice is to enjoy but not by causing pains to others. The
perpetuity of lawlessness and warlike situations should at least teach us this.
Cause neither the wounds nor the scars. Heal them. Create better parallel models
while encompassing the likelihood of perpetual conflicts.
Can we obtain our
future? Is it in our destiny? Even if not, let us put in place what best we can
do for an alternative that keeps hoping for some sort of utopia at the
individual level - as integrated and defined by the composite and networked,
whether communicatively or otherwise, society. We may need an informal UN part
of the visible one, governed by all people with these aspirations and the
working ethos will have to be properly documented in a legal framework of
natural personal justice applying to all, even though the rights in terms what
the can be guaranteed to individuals will be more in the form of 'essentials'
required for a sane and healthy survival. This should include global disasters
management.
Delivery of
justice will initially only be tied to
the global effort to achieve good balanced rational socio-economic structures,
with a hope that uniformity in political diversity can be achieved as in
America.
Freedom will mean that
a person can survive fairly happily individually or with likeminded people
without the fetters of governing social and political compulsions, within the
legal framework.
Let not the great
philosophers and scientists sacrifices go in vain and their souls be eaten away
by the cannibals of the borders and numbers – even though we cannot do without
them, at least presently.
