It's all very well, and in saying so - just, to make the persons responsible, pay for the damages and carnage they have so created, however - it should be deeper than that… We as a world can sweep the dust, that has accumulated, under the carpet - but its still going to be there; building up each and every time we sweep the floors… We need to, as a world and as equal human beings, sit down, work out and eliminate the causes of the fallen dust particles - and in doing so, remove the need to suffice a regular and continual sweeping of them. Only then will the world be safe from wayward perceptions.

The good of mankind is in jeopardy - and will continue to be so unless we all see each other as brothers and sisters - not black, white, etc, Christian, Muslim, etc, man or woman (etc?) - as the Human Race created by a God who has many names...

Racism, poverty, lack of education and communication are the roots to the troubles around the world - the lack of understanding amongst communities is the world's embarrassment. We should learn and build from, and upon, each other's culture's and idea's.

Every human being in existence should have, guaranteed to them: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness… Those words taken from the American Constitution, and they form the most important Right an American citizen has - should this not be the case for each and every citizen of the world: Life - no one allowed to steel it from anyone else; Liberty - the ability to do what you would like to do, as long as it doesn't infringe upon someone else's Life and Liberty; and the Pursuit of Happiness - being able to work as you choose in order to find your unique place in the world?

Let's Heal the World. Take a step in the right direction, even though it may be testing on you - be an individual, disregard the attitudes placed upon you - and the destination; a better world for you and for me and the entire human race, will still be a place everyone, naturally, wants to live in. As Bob Marley said, "One Love".

May the Powers that be, whatever they are for you, bless the Planet, it's people and its future…

DISCUSSION FORM:
A world divided into categories...? Christianity, Islam, etc etc; where do our loyalties lay - in fellow human beings or in conceptual ideas conceived by people with different perceptions...? The people of the world are at the edge of their seats in the current stand down - who's right, who's wrong - decide for yourself in the Discussion Form...
