Global Village needs Global Vision

Things that Humans Do...

Human greed and the desire to acquire material goods are the basis of human misery...
I do not comprehend why a billionaire will require another million...
I do not grasp why a person will need to have more than one house...
I do not condone the materialistic culture that we are wallowing in as "civilized human societies."

Our culture is based on consumerism...But the economic system is based on "scarce resources."
The global economic system is based on the reality of scarcity of global resources...
...And hence the conflicts between nations...To be precise, conflicts among governments and the ruling elite of each nation...
The uncontrolled, unlimited greed is in direct contradiction with limited and scarce resources...

In our global reality..."nation states" and boundaries are redundant... If capital can travel without conflict from nation to nation and capital has established supra-statehood, then there is no reason why people will be subjected to hardship and conflicting boundaries. 
The conflict in Ukraine is a paramount example of the conflict between governments and various ruling interests... If Ukrainians and Russians and Europeans are left alone, and if the armies and governments do not intervene and meddle in Ukraine, there will be NO CONFLICT LEFT...But human greed and the desire to acquire natural resources and control these very resources... is created a havoc in Ukraine and wars in various parts of the world.

...And the turmoil is spreading and human misery is increasing.  Solutions to conflicts are no where in sight...It looks like we are creating conflicts and human misery just because of our greed and desire to control the global wealth ...
The people in the Philippines struggled hard to get rid of dictators like the Marcos regime. And with their struggle they closed down foreign military bases in the country...They had a 20 years reprieve and economic development ... Just in passing I would like to mention an incident. I had difficulty with with my computer and phoned the center and a person walked me through the installation of the program. When I asked where the technician is talking from, he told me from the Philippines... 
20 years of peace and development...But now...
The foreign military bases are going to return to Philippines...and soon we will witness military bases there...Just to control the passage ways - sea ways and the newly found oil stock there. Recently Vietnam and China heralding the emergence of conflicts to control the oil resources...

A soldier fathered the kids and kids fathered others 

and 

now this family if 16 lives in a one room shack...in poverty and misery.

There are more than 20 000 families of this kind.

Soldiers fathered and abandoned too...

When there were foreign bases in the Philippines... The soldiers went out of the barracks and sought pleasure and relief from the military routine...They fathered babies and the Philippine mothers were left alone to look for the "family"...and now the misery will re-establish itself in the country...
                                   ***
Human greed and control of scarce resources has developed a culture of slavery and racism ...
Genocides (Armenian, Jewish, Rwandan, Cambodian)  and wars are the outward symptoms of our greed...and urge to control wealth...
The Natives of North America were subjected to all kinds of hardship and illness and deprivation... Just because the invading European culture wanted to control the resources of the land...

Before it was "Cowboys and Indians"...Now there still is teams like "Red Skins"...There are images of drunk and lazy Natives...

I have always advocated that high schools take a trip to Native communities and educate themselves in this very sad issue...

Schools take their students to Nicaragua or other countries...while the Native communities are just a day trip away.....

The Ps and VPs and teachers have to educate the students better and more efficiently... We cannot celebrate diversity when to do not make a conscious effort to eradicate racism around us....and IN SCHOOLS...starting from the administration and teachers... 

The natives of North America are struggling to change their stereotypical image of drunk and lazy to an image of decent and mainstream people...They still have a long way to go...

Human greed will develop misery...Human greed will develop slavery...Human greed will develop wars and genocides...
We need a civilization of sharing and cooperation.
We need societies that share and cooperate and rejoice together.
...And to achieve this;
We need a civilization based on sharing and love.
We need a culture of cooperation and not competition.
We need to humanize another time the humans...
We have to succeed... otherwise the alternative is very sad...
