Omicron Group Govt. 370 Reflections

R E F L E C T I O N S

Global politics appears to be in a state of anarchy, underlined by the quick resort to war as a presumably quick and efficient way to sort out a variety of issues. Indeed, statistics also appear to support such a state of affairs: since World War II, that is for almost six decades, there has never been a single day during which no less than five wars were taking place somewhere in the world. Although such stats do not lie there is another way of looking at world affairs. Let us see: there are at least 210 nations on this world and at least 6.4 billion people. Yesterday, with the exception of the five wars involving a few million or less people, the rest of the nations and all these other people went through their lives without fighting and indeed most of them accomplished acts worth mentioning, acts that advance human civilization, acts that are worth mentioning and imitating by the rest of us. Unfortunately very little of it was ever reported or studied or reached the so call mass audience of the world. We simply focus on the exception to the rule, we do this on a daily basis, and before long most of us think or sense that that is all there is out there, the exception, which itself has for us become the norm. While conflict and war is a reality, I can also assure you that this is one safe and orderly world.
