ROUND THE WORLD
CULTURES DIFFER, NEEDS SAME
Mitigating prejudice of differences
I used to read the classic ‘Around the world in eighty days’ and every time it would stun our reality, that there is a difference of one day in such a travel. Well that happened to us too. Travelling around the world, we found that in Japan, we spent the same day, TWICE. Yes, we gained one day in our life. We had raced against the Sun itself. Probably 22 cities we touched. Different people, different cultures. Yes, all with same needs.
The best society is that which asserts its identity but never imposes itself on any other. Co-existence is the key to things. World peace depends on acceptance of diversity. Diversity is good for the world. Diversity is healthy. But the Imperialistic view is different.
It is all about concentrating everything in your own hands. Politicians were adept at this thing. But the men behind these men are even more ruthless. By bedding with the devil so many times, they have become the reincarnated devil themselves.
An evil has been unleashed on the world. The Haves have no sympathy for the have-nots, and the have-nots obviously lay unconcerned about anything. The harmony of society is gone. In a music tone, you skip a tone, and there is discord.
In society you have skipped so many bare essentials, that society itself is at stake. People want to rum away now to the Mars and to the Moon. But will they take their same set of usurping ideas there too. An impotent UNO watches as a spectator to all its this silliness, with the bureaucrats happy in their perks only. Disorganized revolutions bring more discord in the world. The Intellectual with all his strengths remain impotent in an environment of sinews of government. Power rules! For how long?
Never expected such thoughts of harmony from Pakistan, yes!
Greeting!
Congratulation to the writer(s) of these Blogs which I have been reading with interest and appreciation. May I know the name(s) of the Blog Writer(s)?
I find Chughtai’s Art Blog very interesting, informative, and beneficial. This blog on “ROUND THE WORLD – CULTURES DIFFER, NEEDS SAME” is an appreciable contribution towards harmonisation of relations between different cultures around the Globe. This is like achieving “Unity in Diversity” and “Celebrating Diversity”. I personally believe in Ethno-relativism and Cultural-relativism and shun Ethno-centrism and Cultural-centrism.
Best wishes for the writers and readers of this blog.
