Syria is not a problem now. What is
the next problem?
Iran and North Korea may be.
In a few more years, nuclear
problems too, would not be a problem at all.
And then the question also
rises: What Next?
There might be some regional conflicts.
England and Spain, China and Japan, African oil, etc. Conflicts are bound to
happen, as the economic situation falls. But those are never big problems. Some
wins, some loses. Smart people will keep an eye on all that, preventing someone
in winning too much, and break the balance.
The one and lasting problem is the
terrorist groups. Will they sooner or later decrease to a harmless situation?
There are two factors behind it.
One being poverty, the other is culture element. Culture element is the ability
to think. If you can help them to think properly, they will become rich and
will not resort to terror acts. But that
is the basic human problem. People cannot even help their own children to think
properly, how can they help other nations?
Ancient Chinese rulers had a very
pragmatic technic to handle the problem. They work according to the philosophy
of Lao Zi: Keep every one away from
knowledge, and then there will be lasting peace. And that was no joke. They meant it. To
encourage students to study only one moral subject, all students would become
obedient civil servants (employed by the rulers) and would not be thinking
astray.
And the modern leaders (Mr. Obama and
his followers) were thinking in a similar way:
Spread the idea of democracy to the
whole world, problems would be solved.
But democracy was only a technical
means for the ancient Greeks; they had more subtle inner wisdom above the
technical means.
Democracy is useful to wise people
only.
If you encourage a group of pigs to
select their leader, they could have no other option, but to select another pig
to lead them. They will not be thinking wiser, and poverty will remain. Poverty
seems to be more eternal then other issues. When they have no other means to
earn a living, there will not be peace. We can only hope, terrorist thoughts
are not eternal.
How can you encourage the world to
“think”?
Yes, if people are wise enough,
they will find a means to make a living, and settle every thing peacefully.
We have to stop here. As the problem
is too big an issue and we have no other choice, but to guess, what other issue
would arise somewhere in the planet and need attention to.
And our question remains: “What
next”.
If I say, the next issue is
philosophical, you will laugh.
