Some sane leaders amid power mongering and passion whipping
political schemers.
1.
Isolationism and xenophobia are extensions of bossy insolence of racial
and colonial mindsets and in some cases excessive ethnocentric pride in one's
ancestry.
2. The world
is seen better through both microscope and telescope and look at the inherent
interconnections and possibilities of synergy among most of the things that are
visible through both.
3. Some
leaders have mostly been brutally frank on facts and foreign relations.
4. Certain
cultures have allowed humanity the freedom to brush with reality as it evolves
beyond and besides the predetermined templates of doctrinaire confines and
ideological cages.
5. No
nation or culture or political system or any ideology can afford to get
isolated based on any of its past credentials be it past economic power or
cultural supremacy or intellectual or political power.
6. It is
obvious that the world is so inextricably connected irrespective of whether a
nation wants to or not. So, any attempt at isolationism is nothing but idiotic
self imposed punishment.
7. Every new technology was visualized or was supposedly
intended to create a non- hierarchical, decentralized functionality
through quick communication channels ( telephone, radio, television, internet)
and as a deterrent against war ( dynamite, nuclear, submarines, planes )
but then, every now and then all of these well intended technologies were
abused and misused.
8. What can
really ensure a better life?
Which means a
life of comfort, peace, sophistication, freedom, economic development, social
welfare with a civilized and cosmopolitan outlook.
9. This
requires an organic development through individual attitudes and
collective socio- psychological approaches which are often either decided or dictated
by the ruling political dispensation or dominant religious ideology.
10. When the
course or direction of these two (politics and religion) are not in sync with
reality, then, there will be manifestations of insane activities and
decisions.
