Negotiations at all levels

 

​It is all about good negotiations at all levels, in any domain with real good intentions to create a better and safer world for all. 

 

Make every country  feel the necessity to be part of geopolitical economic agenda with its inevitable concomitant cosmopolitan outlook.

 

Trump, Modi did most of the good, important negotiations ignoring , rightly so, the nonstop nonsensical noise of Wokes in media ( the personification of negativity ) and at times effectively silencing them as well. 

 

A realistic outreach that makes everyone realise it is outdated to remain cocooned in some or any religious ( however great, good and number of followers it may have) driven affinities or ideologies or orthodox life styles ( as politicians to use them only for populist local vote bank politics is a professional expediency but then, gradually they too have to be weaned away from these even if it may help them at the elections because it can create its inevitable polarity internally and will be irrelevant beyond borders).

 

All matured leaders are aware that all of these religious stuffs have no impact on present generation of youth either at individual or social level.

 

The real pyramid of present generation, as has been, in most recent generations is like this. 

 

Priority wise, basic survival needs providing economic status, followed by some comforts, certain affordable ( as per everyone's status or tastes) recreations / enjoyments/ entertainments, then happiness that evolves out of at least some amount of all or some of these.

 

Only then, practically the 'mind space' of human beings  will be at peace at personal level. 

 

After all these are fulfilled, there emerges, the luxury of educated collective awareness of engaging, without distractions and preoccupation about survival aspects, in all sorts of religious and cultural activities with real interest, involvement and understanding. 

 

Individual survival necessities with rule based social living are fundamental to life at present to entertain pride of ancestry and dream for a pleasant future.

 

Most vital factors that need to parallelly happen through all these are worthy education that consciously imparts the following besides academics, namely allowing freedom to think without inhibition or fear of social pressures,  to develop rational outlook with basic intelligence to perceive life with an attitude to live with satisfaction and let others ( all species) live and all of these along with inculcating time tested importance of family values, self-discipline, self-respect and self-confidence, rule based behaviour in society at least for physical security and safety of all. 

 

Then, only then, the impact of these basic educational values permeates subconsciously into all activities in life. 

 

Which in turn changes the political leadership also to do a better job.

Humanitarianism and cosmopolitan outlook

Thankless ungrateful attitude, sometimes even betrayal.



This makes one wonder what​​ use is all the philosophies which are sprinkled in every realm about the 'values' based on moral high ground? 


We take everything for granted but when granted and get it we brush it off as our entitlement and act as if we are doing a favor for being available to receive the bounties. This is there everywhere on one side and on the other side some act as privileged lord's who can throw their weight around by any means and get things done.


There are no basic human gestures of gratitude and appreciation , even if there is no recognition. 


We have developed a collective national psychology of criticizing and questioning everything except our own attitudes and contributions.


We don't value many simple and humane things which are more vital for cohabitation rather than elaborate rituals. I know people may get offended when I say this. I say it purposely, because Indians don't take care of the elders in their own family but will do all sorts of fanfare for funerals and post funeral rituals for years on and give lengthy discourse on that, this happens in most regions of many religions in India.


We can claim to be better evolved citizens only when we respect scientific approaches, exhibit rational attitude, manifest humanitarianism and adopt a cosmopolitan outlook which respects everyone's talents, time and trade-offs which cannot be compromised and taken for granted.

cosmopolitan outlook

When sense and sensitivities get polished by unbiased observation based rational sophistication or as an aspect of survival necessity, there emerges as part of evolution of civilization, a cosmopolitan outlook acknowledging all identities but does not discriminate and divide.
