I would like to add few points here.<br /><br />The beauty of universe is not in unifying everything into one, but in co-existance of diverse things. every Nation, every Religion is different from other and has its own values and cultures. we should not have one Nation or one religion for entire earth. definitely humanity is the core of every religion, but we do need to preserve each of them in their original form. <br /><br />The solution to the world's problem is not in rejecting all religions and creating one universal religion, but in opening your heart to all religions. be ready to accept the differences and learn to spread love inspite of differences.Nadinetihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06816999493864895686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4888073948562600708.post-66713144382877831272011-01-28T03:47:05.595-08:002011-01-28T03:47:05.595-08:00@ Jitesh : What is real today becomes history with...@ Jitesh : What is real today becomes history with new realities of tomorrow. This article deal with a vision for tomorrow.Revolution may be one way and even peaceful solutions can exist.It is all about the decisions by the leaders without the vested interest.<br /> What if the world unites if we are attacked by other superior forces.Why cannot we be united from within without any external pressure.<br /><br />@Abhi: As of now no conclusion. The discussion phase is still on. The depleting earth issue too can be sorted out if we all come to a consensus as vested interest would be curbed.<br /><br />@gatesofhorn: The religions of the world have undergone a lot of changes because of the vested interest groups who wanted to dominate the less powerful. Religions like buddhism do not pay emphasis on existence of GOD unlike hinduism which has lakhs of Gods. The realization of the human and society as the ultimate God may be helpful.Nupur Srivastavahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12537734489190531575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4888073948562600708.post-45201025494980548002011-01-28T02:35:55.338-08:002011-01-28T02:35:55.338-08:00Hey Nupur, sorry for the long post but I really do...Hey Nupur, sorry for the long post but I really dont have any work in office so.. :)<br /><br />1) Why cannot we think we are 'humans' first and always?<br /><br />because we are just animals, with some special features like bigger cortex, hands and thumbs etc.<br /><br />2) If we are humans, what do we all want to attain? ----->Happiness is it?<br /><br />No every living being want to attain a genetic advantage over other members of his own species to survive.<br /><br />3) Is our 'need' overriding our 'want'?<br /><br />no, our wants are derivatives of our needs.<br /><br />4) Why cannot we follow the religion of all religions "HUMANISM" ?<br /><br />no we can't violence is a part of psyche of all living, that is how we have evolved, and it is not gonna go away.<br /><br />5) Why "Vasudev Kutumbakam" is overridden by "globalisation"(mostly economic effects as of now)?<br /><br />vasudev kutumbakam is a fallacy and globalization is a truth so one group can gain advantage over other group.<br /><br />6) Why cannot we have a Constitution for the whole world in order to promote world solidarity?----->See EU developments<br /><br />we cant have it because it is really impossible to procure consensus over any single thing from 6.5 billion people on the earth. even countries are put together only with use of force and violence, without force every country on planet will disintegrate.<br /><br />7) Why we cannot be earth citizens? ----->Will solve most of the problems.<br /><br />because if the whole earth becomes one nation, then everybody on the planet will like to move to most comfortable locations like hawaai or something, that will create even more chaos. so it is good that people are trapped in their own home lands. helps the equal distribution of this infestation.<br /><br />8) Are we already moving ahead for 'Humanism'? or Are at the tipping point of the collapse of the human civilization?<br /><br />Human civilization was started with violence, thrived on violence and Humanism is just a poetic term to feel better about ourselves.<br /><br />Call me cynical if you want, but realities can not be changed.A Radikal Mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07046296469885522740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4888073948562600708.post-46584663260794739632011-01-27T22:01:12.564-08:002011-01-27T22:01:12.564-08:00Good Post, the issue of depleting Earth Resources ...Good Post, the issue of depleting Earth Resources needs more attention.

Eg "We feel proud of our nationality.." whereas one can easily find people disguising their nationality or the baggage it carries. As from my limited knowledge about world religions, to say that they aim at humanity-first approach would be over-simplification. Jews had harsh religion to survive those times and so did Prophet Muhhamed. Constantine used Christianity as instrument and Hinduism saw constant changes and manipulations. Even the concept of God is to a large extent a deliberate delusion to keep our hopes alive when logic says otherwise. I would rather say that aim of religion is to integrate but not humanity as a whole but mainly the sub-sect which subscribes to it. It is interesting that in modern times all religions feel need to tolerate other religions and hence people come up with different interpretations of same old pslam, doha, couplet whatever. Constitution however is built with the aim of incorporating all (of course with concessions to majority, like Lankan constitutions) and the history of "secular" movements (sadly Indians are in general so wrongly taught about secularism, thanks to INC) in early part of last century proves this dichotomy between Constitution and Religion (Church in that case).LieXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04622975681980869174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4888073948562600708.post-49737089949302857902011-01-27T19:52:13.091-08:002011-01-27T19:52:13.091-08:00We need more solutions......so people can put in t...We need more solutions......so people can put in there opinion as commentNupur Srivastavahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12537734489190531575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4888073948562600708.post-58380646344832643012011-01-27T19:51:30.018-08:002011-01-27T19:51:30.018-08:00The same thought process of peace and brotherhood ...The same thought process of peace and brotherhood + Humanism is in existence eversince the cradle of civilization came into existence.
