WORLD AND PEACE AT THE CROSSROADS
by Agung Marsudi
It is conceivable if the planet Earth, which is inhabited by 7.9 billion people, no longer has significant carrying capacity for its survival, even if it is only to meet the needs of food, shelter, and free from tension.
The world needs a new collective consciousness, facing the era of information disruption. Capitalism, with all its variants, has perpetuated the exploitation of extraordinary humans (and the state), to the point of giving birth to dependence, inequality and caste. The triangle is debt, oil and weapons.
The exploitation of nature, and humans have exceeded the threshold. Although there is no longer east west, north south. The world and peace, are at a crossroads. The ancient Palestinian-Israeli conflict, like fire in the chaff. World peace roadmap, leaving grudges, endless. Now the Ukrainian-Russian war.
War is fire. It just needs the wind to ignite it. If not cooled, from the zero point of this planet earth, world war volume three can ignite. Peace is water. The nation, the state needs strength, as well as wisdom, which is constantly being fought for.
Disputes, feuds, hostilities, disputes and problems of nations (state-based) can only be resolved by sitting together, not by standing up and taking up arms.
Mutual respect and appreciation. Two sacred words that often get stuck on the diplomacy table. Two world social ethics are increasingly "marginalized", because of economic pressures and mondial interests.
Keeping 7.9 billion people on earth, need nutrition, need energy, need protection. That is actually maintaining honor and civilization.
Because there is always a way, to peace.
