To What Degree Do "We" Respect One Another
Yesterday, I was Reflecting on the Changing of The Guard amongst the Western Industrialized Nations, specifically, Prime Minister Angela Merkel, President Nicolas Sarkozy, Prime Minister Gordon Brown, and President Barack Obama, and To What Degree They would Co-operate, and Show Respect for each other. That thought continued to Evolve into a Generalized thought about, To What Degree do "We the People" show Respect for One Another.
My Thoughts began with How Much "We" Take for Granted, the Intelligence of Children from Birth to Ten Years of Age. "We" Mistake Their Learning Process to Communicate, at times, with being Cute, or Too Slow Witted, or, are Lacking in Proper Learning skills, or are simply too UN-Intelligent.
Sometimes "We" Mistake Their Speech Patterns, and Sound Phrases/Sentences, as Being meaningless sounds. Something "We" would Never do to Someone Visiting us from Another Country, Who was Trying to Learn our Native Language. Although, Now that I think of it "We" do that To A Degree as well (in some cases).
And then, my thoughts evolved To What Degree of Respect do "We" Show All Sentient Beings. And, How Much "We" Take for Granted, that Animals can Understand Languages from All Over the World , Depending on what Country they are Born in. And yet "We" continue to Show them Dis-Respect, Though, Not enough to stop Eating them.
Please understand that there are a great many people who Truly Treasure the Lives of their Pets, and Lovingly Make them apart of Their Extended Family Members.
However, To a Great Degree, and, to Too Many Others, They are still Pets, or They're "Wild Animals," to be seen in a Zoo, or, Live in a Jungle.
This Train of Thought continued to Evolve into How Little Respect "We" Show towards Our Architectural Accomplishments, Musicians (especially Jazz musicians), or the Natural Resources of the Earth.
And "We" wonder why Families are for the Most part More and More Dysfunctional, or, Why the Educational System is Not Keeping pace with Evolution?
For one Reason, "We" continue to exist in Separate Worlds.
The Financial Institutions Exist in Their own Exclusive, Selfish, Little Worlds.
Our Religions Exist in their Selective Worlds, Excluding Those who do not Believe in, or According to, the Faiths of their own Individual Ways of Life.
Politicians, The Global Media, Entertainment, Technological, Scientific, and Sports, Exist in Their Specific Worlds of Strategic Interests.
Of Course, Everyone is Tolerant of the Other, To a Degree.
The Bottom line is Always, What the Profit Margin Is!
But, this it Not Respect! Or Showing Respect for One Another.
Respect Must Be Earned!
It used to Be that Respect was The Covenant that Every Civilized Nation Strove to Teach it's Citizens. However, Now, I wonder To What Degree were Sincerely Attempting to Teach it?
The Old Saying that "Actions Speak Louder than Words" simply States the Case, doesn't it.
And, Here is the Question;
How are "We" to Regain Respect for Our Religious Leaders?
Politicians? The World of Corporations? Unions? Financial Institutions?
And, World Leaders, (as well as with Each other) Especially during this Time Period when "We" are in Need of Inspirational Leaders, (and Definitely, Not Professional Politicians, who work solely for Re-Election!)?
This is a Dialogue that should be Entered into on a Daily Basis, because Herein lies the Basis upon which A New World Society can Be Built. One that can Be Shared by Every Nation, and All Sentient Beings of this, The Third Planet from The Sun!
Voices of Reason and Peacemakers I Encourage You to Engage in Universal Discussions, and Sharings of whatever Omniscience that is within Your Possession.
Let us Continue to Build A Bridge of Peace that can not be Destroyed by Malice, or Injustice. Let us Build A Nexus Amongst us that is Everlasting.
In the Name of Peace!
