[GMW #3317] Be Imaginative And Active For A Beautiful Wonderful Extraordinary World


[GMW #3317] Be Imaginative And Active For A Beautiful Wonderful Extraordinary World Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3711 ~
If western humans and their institutions would become as devoted, imaginative and active for the preservation and beautification of the Earth as they are now for the invention of new goods, products, services and activities for humans, then we would become a wonderful, extraordinary world.

But two major problems would remain unresolved:
1. Justice and well-being for all western inhabitants.
2. Justice, well-being and population restraint in the poor countries which represent 2/3rds of humanity.

Chapter 2, Of Happiness

We need a great Copernican framework of the art of living in which all efforts at happiness will fall logically into place.

9 March 1998
When humans decide and are really determined to solve a problem, however intractable it may seem, they invariably succeed.

Thus, after two world wars nations decided to abolish international wars, creating the United Nations. They are very close to success after fifty years: there are almost no international wars left as we enter the next century and millennium. Only three remain: the Middle East, Cyprus and Kashmir. They are all three religious wars and are kept basically under lid.

Why not decide to solve all other forms of violence the same way, from religious and internal ethnic wars, to urban violence, street violence, family violence, media violence, etc. Governments could make the UN University for Peace a main world instrument for non-violence in all realms. Its name could be changed to UN University for Peace and Non-violence.

~ Idea 1334 ~
6 March 1998
From a Costa Rican newspaper I learn that two young men in England have launched a National Movement for the Renaissance of Optimism. They consider that there is no problem in the country that cannot be resolved with optimism. The same is true of world problems. Perhaps we need a World Movement for the Renewal of Optimism. Having been given the epithet of Chief Optimist in Residence at the UN I would be delighted to be a Board Member.

[GMW #2260] Resolving Long Lasting Conflicts By Ignoring Them, No Further Debates Or Aid, Since The Leaders Love & Thrive On Their Conflicts

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1058 ~    3 June 1997

I was thinking this the other day while waiting for the speech by Shimon Peres in the National Theater of Costa Rica on the peace process in the Middle East:

Conflicts, especially protracted ones, have often as their main reason to preserve and reinforce an identity.  This is definitely the case of the continued Israeli-Arab and Greek-Turkish Cypriot conflicts.  Religious fundamentalism is a determining factor.

As I proposed earlier in idea 59, if such conflicts last for more than 30 years, without solution, the rest of the world should ignore them, close the doors of the United Nations for further debates and withdraw the aid of the United Nations troops to separate the conflicting parties.

It reminded me of the following:

When I accompanied Secretary General Waldheim on a visit to China readmitted to the UN, when we were received by Premier Chou En Lai, Mr. Waldheim raised the question of the Middle East.  Chou En Lai expressed surprise and asked: "Why do you want to discuss the Middle East?

Waldheim answered: "Because it is important."

Chou En Lai: "You can forget about solving this conflict.  We will still have it in a hundred years."  This was in 1972.  A quarter of a century has already elapsed since then.

Another anecdote:

In 1964 I was sent to Cyprus as the political adviser of the United Nations troops to that conflict.  After witnessing for six months the hagglings between the Turkish and Greek Cypriots, I left saying that I and the United Nations were losing our time.  There just was no willingness whatsoever to come to agreement.  On the contrary, the encyclopedia of arguments was increasing incessantly.  That was a third of a century ago!

General Harbottle, not long before his death, told me that he had paid a visit to Cyprus and discovered that it is now the sons of the leaders of the two conflicting parties whom we knew in our time, who were arguing and discussing the same issues and arguments as their fathers!

Hence my proposal that the UN should close the door to such conflicts and let their stubborn leaders continue to love them and to thrive on them.  Except for the beauty of Cyprus and the nice populations on both sides, I have lost six months of my life in that country.  Journalists should no longer pay any attention to them either, because often the parties fight or resort to terrorism in order to get visibility, especially from the world press.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1028 ~    4 May 1997

All youth organizations of the Earth should combine their efforts and create a United Youth Organization.

That Organization should request the adoption of new texts of their fundamental human rights: the sacred right not to be drafted into military service or war service, the right not to kill and not to be killed, not in the name of a nation, religion, race or anyone else.

Conflicts between social, ethnic, and political groups should all be solved by peaceful and non-violent means.

This should become the supreme law of the human society.

[GMW #1857] Not Allowing International Conflicts To Be Unresolved. No More Than Thirty Years Then Proclaim, Enough Is Enough

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 59 ~ 7 September 1994

When an international conflict has remained unresolved for 30 years because the parties concerned do not want to come to agreement, the UN should close the door, refuse to continue to deal with the problem and interpose UN peace-keeping troops, and proclaim, "Enough is enough." At least, if I were the Secretary General I would not set foot in the meetings of the Security Council on such unsolved, protracted conflicts costing the world much money.
