The world is not as big it used to be. Today, rapid
communication facilities have brought us all very close together. Environmental
concern has also brought us to think ourselves as being the direct causes of
each other’s happiness. Forest fires in Indonesia cause haze in Singapore:
industries in one European country cause acid rain in another. No more can we
afford to live within our own countries’ boundaries and say that we do not need
others. In fact, in the area of economics, we have already realized the value
of looking after each other. We are not far from the idealistic state of living
as members of a family. The idea of universal brotherhood is not a strange one.
Many great men have written about it from time.
There is so much more to be gained if man can live
in the ideal of universal brotherhood. Imagine a world of plenty. Right now
there is a situation in the world of plenty in one area and extra poverty in
other areas. With the consciousness of universal brotherhood there will not be
poverty anywhere. We know that at least as far as had is concerned, there is
abundance. With goo being distributed like within a family, the farmers in the
rain fore countries will not cut down the forests for farming. They just do have
to and can do other work. With universal
brotherhood. There i no such thing countries or border. We can go to each
other’s countries at will with no such fuss as parsons and immigration. If we
can travel so free within our own countries, and if we are all as brothers. We could
work or like navy here in the world that pleases us. With the of universal
brotherhood too will come that deep love for each If there is just more love in
the world than at present. The world is a beautiful place to life in indeed.
If ever human being in the world will consider every
other human being as a brother, then
even the idea of war will cease exist. Is this possible? We have many examples
in the world of communities living in love and brotherhood. If this is possible
even a few human beings, the idea of universal brotherhood is just an expansion
of the idea.
Last but not least, tolerance is also very
important ii universal brotherhood. If we develop this virtue in ourselves, it
very easy to make this world heaven. Modern scientific Invert. Like computer,
TV. disk and internet has converted this world to big village. That is why it
is hour of need that we should develop universal brotherhood.
