WORLD UNION OR ‘WORLD BUREAUCRATIZED UNION’

Towards the end of the last decade of the 20th Century, there was a blessed optimism as regards the future of human unity in the upcoming 21st Century. The idea of a more unified community of nations was almost sacrosanct. At least an absolute majority of citizens of the earth have the view that the world is heading towards a unified state.

The geometrical leap in InfoTech, computer hardware and software revolutions and automobile industries reshaped the global view into a seemingly safe heaven. A lot looked, or rather were made to look simple.

However, it was not too long before wars and sound of wars, terrorism and more restricted international relations plunged everyone into a desperate situation leading to a complete depletion on human values. It is really hard to figure out one or two particular factors that regenerated the 1940s-fears in the heart of contemporary humanity save the fact that the values for human unity have been almost perforated by the quest for control and power- thus making world unity almost unrealistic.

A lot of questions since the eve of the 21st Century have been left unanswered, leaving them to create ripples of questions. Why was 9/11, who were behind it and what was their profit? Why was Iraq attacked and how justifiable was the attack? What lies behind the Uranium enrichment by Iran and how reasonable is it in a world crying for peace? Why is the hostility between Israel and Hezbollah unending and why are there series of genocide in Africa? Finally, why the special immigration rules by the so called developed countries?

These and many other questions constitute the burdens of the 21st Century world and a great clog on the wheel to Global Communion.

It is glaringly obvious that individualism took over the so much awaited and expected global Family. It is already a decade since we gloriously celebrated transition into the new millennium yet, where as there is an unprecedented growth in scientific and technological exploits, maybe alongside some other academic branches of human live, the most basic factor of human co-existence, ‘unity’, is geometrically sliding towards self destruction.

I think at this point in time, what we need is global partnership and not mere global aid. We need global collective identity and responsibility and not control on the poor and weak nations by the rich and strong ones. We need intercultural and inter racial emancipation and integrity and not self righteous nationalism.

We really and urgently need world communion to buttress the advantages of the existing United Nations. We have to start now to live as one human family; hour to hour, day to day, week to week and year to year. The alternative choice is the not so palatable adoption of individualism and the over bureaucratized World Union.

The world is one and can only be whole as one. The key is global communion and the answer is Global Union. We have just now!
