I don’t like to talk about politics, and I know this is
crazy daydreaming but bear with me; wouldn’t the world be calmer and more
peaceful if it was one country?
- For one, there will be no wars because there will be no countries to fight and conflict with each other and therefore there will be no need to make nuclear or any other strong weapons.
- All countries of the earth will be under the ruling of one president who will be freely elected by the people of the earth. He then will assign a government that will take care of all things in all Earth just like normal governments in any country.
- Current countries will turn into states that will have their own sub government and they can rule their countries as they like as long as they follow a specific set of laws set by the Earth’s president and his government like human rights, environmental policies…etc.
- There will be one currency that is used across earth and people of the earth will be one people. That doesn’t delete cultural differences or heritages but rather, unifies them by letting each culture keep its customs and heritage while in the same time, interacts with other cultures as ONE BIG culture. This already happens to some degree between some countries, but I hope we expand it to include the entire world.
- There will be no poor and rich countries as all resources will be distributed equally across all of them, because the world will be one country. Also, there will be no starvation in any areas like Africa and all people everywhere will get equal levels of education, work, and living conditions.
That would be world peace; wouldn’t that be awesome? Can we push for this to happen? I
know this sounds unrealistic but I believe in the power of intention. Even though,
we might not have instant action steps to make that happen but holding that
intention can be very powerful as well.
Finally, I wanna end with something I heard in a show on
National Geographic called ‘One Strange Rock’ that talked about how Earth was
made and how everything on it works. It tells the story from the point of view
of the astronauts who went to space and came back with a change in mindset
about our planet, it was a very amazing program by the way. In its last
episode, Peggy Whitson, the oldest female astronaut, said that growing up she
always thought that her home was the state of Iowa. Then, as she started
working as an astronaut at NASA, her home became the United States. Finally,
when she went to space, home became – the entire earth. The focus of the last
episode in that show was to get us to realize that we’re indeed one people
living on one Earth. Shouldn’t that make us ditch our differences aside and
become one BIG and DIVERSE society?
