[WSMDiscuss] [pmarc] Re: Solidarity Means Dismantling The System Everywhere (Progressive International)

[Id Khajuria]

Dear All Activists,
 with behavio
Concerning on going conversation,I also want to submit few words along with
my approach regarding the "Change an Development ", I observed that the
present approach of Mankind is one sided and based on the concept of
Confrontation (Contradiction) and hatred among all diverse
identities,regional communities,Ethnicities,Languages,Cultural
bonds,Beliefs,Eating Habits ,Colour,Races,Nations,etc.
Secondly Man has concept of Superiorism and had preached or made myths that;
Man is the Master of Nature   ( While humankind is a one phenomenon of
nature i.e part of nature ,no any phenomenon can be Master)
Man can Conquer the Nature (While no any can conquer the Nature,Nodoubt few
processes  have exploited by the Man to accumulate
                                                 (as social wealth out of
natural wealth  )
Man,Money and Muscle (militaristic power Can rule the
family,mohallah,village,region,nation due to whic this mindsets fought
Wars,manufactured Arms,,Bombs,Fighter air crafts,Missiles,Nike weaponary  .
 Due to this system gap between Rich and Poor widened and behavior become
intolerant.
Now PostCovid-19 system totally exposed that entire world was without
hospital,equipments,ventilatore,testing kits,quarantine
centres,medicines,etc.
          The present realities demanding an alternate system based on the
concept of  "apeace and interdependence ' with behavioral attitude of
Tolerance and Coexistence among all diverse identities,communities,races
and nations i.e Diversity in Unity' it is truth of nature
warm regards,

I am attaching the doccument on which we are making efforts to understand
relations of Nature and Humankind and within diversities of humankind to
evolve new model of development based on Pro-Nature,Pro- Humans.
