The Global Mind Reversed

Location

This is what I have learned

World Peace is an unthinkable notion,

Who would believe

The countries of this world can come together in an understanding

To promote peace and safer living conditions for all people

In this life I can do nothing

I refuse to believe that

A simple idea can make a difference

 

Have friends around the world

We should be proud to

Disregard their safety to advance our own nationalistic objectives

It is not right to

Concern yourself over another nation’s problems when our nation has its own

Go ahead,

We must ask ourselves, what we prefer.

Friendships or conflict?

Without friendly international relations

We will be fine

It is ridiculous to think

We might be in need of saving

 

Helping  further peace in the world

Global peace organizations are

Completely out of place

 No one can say that they are

Great, inspirational and effective

In the years to come, they will prove to be

Failures, having done nothing to further peace in the world

The future does not see them as

Valid, life preserving organizations

The United Nations and People To People International are really

Ineffective

 

Mutual understanding is impossible and

It is definitely not true that

We are capable of truly communicating across cultural borders

I really feel that

People who think this are ignorant

How can you say that

The internet can actually be useful

Nothing important is ever shared over Facebook

You can’t say that

The protests in Egypt were aided by foreign contact through social networks

“Communication through the internet is imperative”

This is a lie.

Language is a barrier that most people are too lazy to overcome

It is much easier to be ignorant and keep a narrow view of life

Some people believe

In order to grow peacefully we must change our mentality

We need to educate about global conflict and cultural differences

 

I believe this is not true.

People cannot reverse their thinking
