Bring out the time machine boys, we're going back to time...
Brunei: Sultan to Impose Strict Sharia Law with Amputation for Theft and Stoning for Adultery
Greetings all . I have just joined this site , and read many good posts . Well done .
Should we single out Religion , when the " craziness " is so spread throughout our different cultures and
societies ?
When our financial systems , political systems , education systems , health and welfare systems , etc etc
right onwards to household rubbish disposal systems , could all use a bit of a revamp and updating .
The evening TV news and daily newspapers , show us examples from all over the world , of
happenings that seem to be very poorly thought out or planned . Is that what makes it seem crazy ?
Often times , that my daily plans and routine , due to unforeseen events , go right out of kilter .
It's darn hard to avoid sometimes , that things turn out poorly or unplanned .
Meanwhile , globally , things like stoning to death or chopping someone's hand off , is still happening .
Unfortuneatly , there are things equal and even worse that are daily events . Child slavery and
starvation , controllable diseases running rampant , massive oil spills and Nuclear Plants leaking ,
the Global Financial Crisis , species extinction rates , the War on Terror and next war and next war .
Now it's the Ukraine and Russia that are standing off . So many other "hotspots" are still heating
up more and more .
Global events . Me and my family live here too . Everything that I have worked my life to build ,
everything that I love and respect , ( an our two little dogs ) , are threatened by events on other
continents . This is our modern world , now in our 21st century and our Space Age . We are now
a part of the Global community .
Apparently there are about seven billion of us people now . The whole Human Race . Our families ,
all live here too . What affects my neighbors , on other continents , that I've never meet , affects
my family and me , an the little dogs . We are all in this together . Thats our modern world .
So how can we work together , and resolve some of the differences , and in-differences , to cool down
some of the hotspots , that can escalate to warfare , and our families may become "collateral damage"
to our 21st century weapons of mass destruction ? This threat has existed for generations now .
Was it 1963 when the Cuban Missile Crisis so threatened to escalate ? Look to all that time resources
and energy , that has been devoted , to building bigger and worser bombs , that can destroy all of
our families . Is this not the ultimate example , of " turned out poorly and unplanned ".
As our populations increase , and our natural resources get consumed , there has to be increasing
conflicts , over the remaining resources . It is like , with our eyes wide open , in broad daylight
we are forcing ourselves , into the war that no-one wants . The war that every-one will lose .
We Human Race bunch , have such wonderful opportunities today . Such incredible tools and technologies
available to us . Things that our ancestors , back a few generations , couldn't even have dreamed of .
We have it made . Wonderful foods music electricity airplanes and medical technologies . The Hubble
space telescope and submarines . Atomic microscopes and vast array telescopes , the internet and WWW .
So . . . . can we go back in time , look back into our history . Lets build that Time Machine , to go
back through the history of Human civilization , from the start of our Stone Age , to now our Space
Age and 21st century . This Time Machine is all in the history , and humanities , an astronomy and
biology and geology etc etc in our Public Library systems . The combined knowledge and understanding
of the whole Human Race , right back to our earliest ancestors who developed the first writing , and
first languages , on the different continents , that we have grown to our technologies of today .
Cool eh . The Time Machine is there . The travels of our ancestors , building our multi-cultural world
of today . The steps , from a few of us to now billions of us . May we find unity , as a species ,
the whole Human Race , and build modern community for our families and what care for , as our
ancestors have done , as pioneers now in that 21st century . All of us into our Space Age .
Lets work together , an clean up our home . I think that all of our Gods , all through our changing
history , would like that . May we start the walk back towards the garden . God is still beyond us
mere Humans to understand . God exists , cause from the ancient Aztec's an Australian Aborigines
to Moria's an the Mediteranian to the Vikings or Zulu's , to our modern societies of today , people
feel and sense a wonderful and powerful . . . .undefinable strength . Yet we feel "it" differently ,
and "it" grows and changes . May we grow forwards , towards peace and prosperity , as a global
bunch , look to what Unites us , rather than what can divide us .
This has become quite long , and I thank you for staying with me this far . Do you agree ?
If we can work towards agreeing as a species , the whole human race , we move away from the conflicts .
We are one species , on one planet , who share one history , and we share one future .
Towards unity and prosperity , for all of our families , sincerely Ron .
