A fresh look should be given to the practice of celebrations which have the virtue of bringing together humans and creating ties of sentiment from the family, the city, the nation to the entire humanity and planet. All calendars published in the world should mention celebrations. The United Nations publishes each year an updated list of world celebrations.
These will help fulfill Sigmund Freud's vision when he gave the following answer to Einstein who could not understand why humans continued to make war on each other and to produce armaments:
Freud noted that humans are divided between instincts of aggression and love. Peace would require the development of ties of sentiment among people. "The love of country has succeeded in binding people at the national level. The great new historical challenge is to develop love among all Earth inhabitants, and for the Earth itself," he said.
How right this statement is! It should open an important chapter in the new science, art and methodology of global psychology. Theses on the subject should be written by students in Universities. I am glad that a book on celebrations by Linda Grover is a current best-seller in the United States.
It is not surprising that the extreme right conservatives of the United States are against any new celebrations and world conferences by the UN. They claim that they cost too much money. Well, I hope that someone will calculate how much military celebrations in nations cost the taxpayers. That is an expense which could usefully be shifted to urgent social needs.

| | Robert's Golden Sayings | The human society has never been studied on a planetary scale heretofore. There are thrilling new fields open to the social sciences: global anthropology, global sociology, global psychology, global philosophy, global political science. They will help us to better understand our new social relations and evolution, and thereby contribute to a better functioning of the world society.

-A Contribution to the 50th Anniversary of the United Nations, 1995, Chapter 6 | Positive affirmations uproot negative thoughts in us. They influence the subconscious which breeds success or failure, and shields us against external, dismal influences. This is true of individuals as it is for groups.
Therefore, if humanity repeats consistently its affirmations of peace, justice, kindness, love and brotherhood, they will become realities. This is why the UN will not fail. It is the right universal affirmative organization, miraculously born at this moment of our evolution.
