New year, new resolutions. New decade, new behaviours?

We might sound 40 years late here, but we can’t help but agree with Yoko Ono and John Lennon: War is Over! if you want it.

Let’s think about this for a minute. Let’s give humanity a chance. Welcome to 2010.

This is very urgent inside me…
and i think that war should be definitely one of the themes of our talks because it is one of the most important things to be talked about in today world.

I think people should say loudly their NO to war. But the mentality has to go through soo much to be able to do it worldwidely, i guess.
But that’s not what i wanted to talk about.

I wanted to ask you what do you think about Nagasaki. Becuase, if we by some for me ununderstandable ways of thinking conclude that Hiroshima had some point, what on the earth was the point of Nagasaki???

Wasnt ONE such awful anti-human and anti-everything catastrophe enough?

RAYA :

Hey, it’s okay! We don’t need to control that “urge”. It’s what makes us feel alive.

War will definitely be debated here.

Governments don’t think that way. Their keywords are: territories and power. If you are not a citizen of their territories, and if you, somehow, are a threat to their own citizens – you are allowed to be destroyed. They have the power to do it. And to “protect” their territories, they will use their power to show you how wrong you are. It’s like if you’re not a member of the family, you are not human. Notions of patriotism and nationalism seem to overcome humanity.

Again, i would say that, people lack coherence in their thinkings. It’s like we are social individuals before being humans.

Talking in terms of “territory” makes me feel like an animal…

LENKA:

It is an interesting idea that urge is a thing that makes us feel alive. I like that. If there is not an urge to do something with our urges then we start to feel useless and dead. Haha, do I make sense?

Now back to the topic of war.

What you wrote about governments gives me mixed feelings. I’m not sure if I agree. But then again, I’ve never been in a government, I only see what I see from afar.
If what you said is the way it is, then it feels so wrong… makes me want to see a change.
The type of governing the world and nations we have here now probably has a sense and logic, since it developed from the times of Stone Age slowly through various kinds of governance to what we have now.
I live in democracy and therefore tend to prefer it. But I’m not saying it’s the perfect type of world.

I would like to see that next step in evolution of governance. But I have no idea how to call it.
What name could we give it? humancracy?

We all are animals deep inside…
But humans have something extra (for example the brain which throws atomic bombs on Nagasaki).
I wonder how the world would look like if no elections were needed, no sultans, no kings… simply, it’d be an orderly, functional, happy chaos.
Can we believe that humankind is capable of that?

The world cant’ change without the change of human mind (maybe more courage to overcome our egoism). What brings us back to our other conversation.

I feel like I’m fantasizing here too much.
