Hi Doc, Rol,At, Simon and Raju--
Couldn't resist jumping in to this one given my thoughts of recent months.
It seems as if I saved instead of sending this so it is a bit late...
I belive conscious and unconscious scapegoating occurs.
I think in the US we didn't celebrate the end of the cold war because we
were losing a very profitable enemy outside. Profitable because war
stimulates the economy and we had to keep all those innocent little
countries out of the hands of the commies. Profitable in a power sense
because if we expand our influence in the world we gain power. Profitable
in a psychological sense because we can ignore the horrors at home if we
just look enough for that enemy outside.
Hey -- Saddam is providing a good diversion away from the illegal actions
of both our president and vice president. Do you think that is worth
WWIII?
The choice for humanity at the moment is the choice of organizations,
nations, and individuals. Do you choose love or fear? As long as the
world remains fear based in its interpretation of reality and the world,
then we will all be slow in our learning. Isn't it amazing that it could
potentially come down to something so simple? When you choose to interact
with another individual, manager, organization, nation -- do you come from
a place of love and acceptance or fear?
The mind boggles when thinking about a question like how do nations learn.
What if the choice is actually a lot simpler? Can you imagine if every
individual on the planet chose to react differently to one other person
every day and cared about them instead of being jealous, hating,
paranoid,fearing, blaming, judging, killing... I still believe in the
energy of thought and that it just doesn't disapear into a vaccuum. We
are all responsible for this world of ours we just haven't realized it yet
because we are too busy being victims of someone or something...
