May I suggest that the notion 'Human Maturity' or 'Mental Maturity' could be the one
we all are looking for? Don't you feel that this idea might be able to describe
all the different, essential and socializing aspects we found and shared in
this forum and elsewhere? Don't you think that this conception would be able to
suit the various concepts which humanity has produced during its long and
painful history? Don't you think that the idea of a *common learning process*
replacing the biblical idea of 'man being the crown of creature' would place
all of us 'westerners and/or occidentalized' to a
more modest position?
Fact is: in
order to improve our world, its social and ecological state we cannot use the
same mental concepts which lead to the pitiful devastation Life is suffering
from.
Such a
learning process could embrace all cultural ideas from all parts of the planet
which ever have been generated. If we succeed to relate them to social and
ecological justice in a local as well as global scale, we could manage to adopt
a world view which will lead to a sane future for all of us.
First step
of such a learning process could be to face history as it *really* was. This
goal is to be achieved by replacing all manipulations and falsifications by the
so called 'winners' at the bitter cost of a broad majority of loosers.
Only if we
succeed in overcoming prejudices and find to clear sights upon reality, we will
have the chance to learn. After the breakdown of 'really existing socialism'
capitalism in the cloak of globalization is definitely
*not* the alternative.
A New
Historical Project might be given birth by maturing parents. I have the notion
that we are among those parents.
Thank you very much for your attention, Wolfgang
