[GMW #2860] Nobel Peace Prize For Eliminating Borders Between Countries

[GMW #2860] Nobel Peace Prize For Eliminating Borders Between Countries Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3255 ~
As I pointed out in My Testament to the UN  the United Nations cannot be as bad as certain obstinate, conservative groups claim it to be, since it has received a dozen of Nobel Peace Prizes.

If Alfred Nobel came back to Earth he would rejoice but would probably ask why the European Union, the second greatest progress since his death, has not received a Nobel Peace Prize.  The abolition of borders between fifteen countries of Europe including the most warring ones, namely France and Germany, would very much merit the Prize.

I have thirty trillion cells in my body but my entire being is only one cell in a human family of 6 billion people.  The total biomass of humanity consists of thirty trillion cells multiplied 6 billion times!

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
~ Dalai Lama

5 Reasons to be Kind
In a dominant paradigm weighted towards self-interest and self-orientation, we must make a special effort to question our mode of being. Can we afford to be narrowly self-focused? Can we grow to anywhere near our true potential if we look out only for ourselves? What role do kindness and compassion play in bridging a world that is growing increasingly fragmented? What follows are five powerful reasons to be kind, articulated by some of the greatest minds and hearts from around the globe.

[GMW #2859] Creating A United States Of The World - World Union - United Earth


[GMW #2859] Creating A United States Of The World - World Union - United Earth Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3254 ~
I was so happy that following an idea in my opening speech to the Second World Parliament of Religions in 1993, Bishop William Swing of Grace Cathedral took during the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the United Nations in San Francisco the initiative to create a United Religions similar to the United Nations.  After his visit with Archbishop Desmond Tutu to major religious leaders around the world the United Religions Initiative Charter was signed on 26 June 2000, the anniversary of the signing of the United Nations Charter.  Bishop Swing must be congratulated as the founder of that new world organization.

I hope and pray that a similar initiative will be taken to create a United States of the World or a World Union or a United Earth.  May such an initiative be taken during the UN/UNESCO Culture of Peace and Non-violence World Campaign 2000 to 2010.

All too often many entities and groups are created, led and promoted by individuals who are unable to fulfill themselves as simple, great human beings, members of one human family under the rule of God.

WORD FOR THE DAY
It is not a question of whether you "have what it takes,"
but of whether you take the gifts you have
 -- they are plenteous --
and share them with all the world.

[GMW #2858] To Be Good Earth Servants & Caretakers Be Saintly Servers Of The Earth


[GMW #2858] To Be Good Earth Servants & Caretakers Be Saintly Servers Of The Earth Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3253 ~
Since we are 100% Earth (70% water and 30% Earth matter) not to mention the oxygen provided to us day and night, it is our obligation, our sacred duty to take good care of the great miracle our loving Mother Earth is.  To be good Earth servants and caretakers has become more than to be economists, business people, financiers, bankers, advertisers and marketers.  We should be saintly servers of the Earth.


Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I  Chapter 3  Our Genial Human Family
Please, governments, give us peace so that we may enjoy the miracle of life;
please, governments, suppress your ugly armaments so that our children might sleep in peace and all human beings on this planet have bread and schools;
please, governments, work together to manage this planet for the benefit and happiness of all;
please, governments, do not interfere with but fulfill our basic needs.

I never saw a discontented tree.

They grip the ground as though they liked it, and
 though fast rooted
they travel about as far as we do.

They go wandering forth in all directions with every wind,

going and coming like ourselves,

traveling with us around the
 sun two million miles a day,

and through space heaven knows how 
fast and far!

~ John Muir

[GMW #2857] Annual Better World Reports To Inspire & Nurture - Edited By Poets, Elders, Indigenous


[GMW #2857] Annual Better World Reports To Inspire & Nurture - Edited By Poets, Elders, Indigenous Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3252 ~
The yearly States of the World Reports and States of the Nations Reports should be less dry, less academic.  They should have an echo with the people and be written as much with the heart and soul as with the brain.  One seldom finds the words love and happiness in them.  Before being published they should be read and be given more feelings, more beauty, more hope, more inspiration and encouragement by poets, elders and indigenous people who know that the Earth and human life are true miracles.


Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I  Chapter 3  Our Genial Human Family
If the human body ceases to grow why should humanity ceaselessly grow, the world economy grow, production grow, construction grow, consumption grow, transportation grow, dissatisfaction grow, waste grow, the destruction of nature grow?  Why don't we follow the example of nature which changes slowly?  Why are we in such a hurry?  If we grow at four percent a year for the next two hundred years, this planet will be finished.  We want already population not to increase.  Why do we want economic development to grow, especially in the rich countries?  Why do we not reduce the injustices between the poor and the rich?

[GMW #2856] Annual Better World & National Happiness Reports


[GMW #2856] Annual Better World & National Happiness Reports Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3251 ~
Each government should submit every year a report to the United Nations on the peace and help it has received from the United Nations and other countries for its people and also what it has contributed to the peace and progress of other countries and of a better world.

Such a report could also be submitted by governments and by the United Nations Secretary General for the entire period since the creation of the UN after World War II.  The document would be of great value to the next generation and to future global historians.

O, what a better world it would be if people and nations spoke less badly of each other!  This was U Thant's first law for personal as well as international behavior.  His son-in-law, Tyn Myint U, once told me:
"There is one thing I did not understand about my father-in-law.  For example, when a new Ambassador was invited to our home, invariably after he left, U Thant would say:
"What a nice man he is." 

I retorted to him:  "How can you say that?  Why don't you wait and see how he behaves before pronouncing judgment?  He might turn out to be quite bad."  U Thant answered:


"In my eyes he is a human brother and a nice man until proven contrary."
U Thant had another rule:  if he disliked or disapproved of someone, he would never say it, he simply remained silent, even if asked for his opinion.

[GMW #2855] Ethicology - World Global Ethical Science & Behavior



[GMW #2855] Ethicology - World Global Ethical Science & Behavior 
Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3250 ~
There is great need for a world global ethical science and behavior.  We absolutely must determine what is good for humanity and the Earth and what is bad for them.  For example, a war started by a nation might be good for it but it is bad for humanity.  If I kill a neighbor, steal his money and occupy his land it might be good for me but it is bad for society.  The same is now true world-wide in our global world.  I propose therefore the creation of a World Ethical Agency which would study and review all forms of ethics and give guidance to humanity.  My World Core Curriculum in Volume I could be a basis for its agenda.  To mention only a few:

Unethical scientific research
Unethical business
Unethical news, media and public relations
Unethical advertisement
Unethical institutions
Unethical financing

It would be a great eye-opener for humanity.  The time is ripe for it.  It should be done as part of the Culture of Peace and Non-violence World Campaign launched by the United Nations and UNESCO.

I recommend also a name for it: ethicology, the science of ethics.


Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I  Chapter 3  Our Genial Human Family
Wisdom is the ability to distinguish between good and bad.  Hence, there is a wisdom for every particular entity or group:  a personal wisdom, a family wisdom, a corporate wisdom, a national wisdom.  The greatest wisdom still needed at this point of our evolution is world wisdom, namely the ability to distinguish between what is good and bad for humanity and for the Earth as a whole.  It is the fundamental role of the United Nations to help develop that wisdom.
