World
Peace is Possible with a New Approach
As
we look around today, one cannot deny that things are changing.
While we still have struggle and strife, we also have great numbers
of people actively working for the good of all. Whether it is through
activist efforts with a grass roots political movement, running
for political office, donating time and effort to helping others,
or creating a business that has a positive impact, we now have more
people working to make the world a better place than ever before.
We
must seize on this moment in history as the time to unite the world
and give the People more control to determine their future. Individuals
all over the world are crying out for change and reform, but many
feel helpless to accomplish much against a force that has gripped
our planet for centuries. Instead of trying to make obviously dated
and ineffective methods fit our needs for today, we must simply
walk away from them and try a whole new approach. Today we, as a
whole, have the technology, the resources, and the heartfelt desire
to bring about true, lasting world peace.
In
a world where we have made incredible scientific and technological
progress, we still face many of the social problems that have plagued
mankind from the beginning of time. We believe most of these problems
are rooted only in lack of understanding and, as a result, compassion.
Ruling bodies from the beginning of time have one thing in common;
the special interests of their representatives often overshadow
the needs of the people. In a global society, minority rule, even
by vote, is not sufficient to properly govern and care for such
large numbers of wildly diverse people.
We
have all met people who come from vastly different cultures, perspectives,
or walks of life. In most cases, especially when we meet people
who are different in a social context, we can find ways to communicate
and even see similarities we would not have expected. The power
of individual interaction is strong and the bonds we make as individuals
do not break easily.
It
is time for the world to meet the world, face to face, one on one,
and learn that the only differences we can't surmount are those
we imposed upon ourselves. By gathering influential social leaders
from around the world and creating bonds of understanding and kinship,
we can open our arms to those we've never really had a chance to
meet or understand before. We can create a global network of cooperation
based not on economic motives, but on friendship and compassion.
