Article 12. Human beings have a continuing responsibility when setting up, taking part in or representing social units, associations and institutions, whether private or public. In addition, all such entities have a responsibility to promote peace and sustainability, and to put into practice the educational goals which are conducive to that end. These goals include the fostering of awareness of the interdependence of human beings among themselves and with nature and the universal responsibility of individuals to solve the problems which they have engendered through their attitudes and actions in a manner that is consistent with the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms. Let us be faithful to the privilege of our responsibility. * Daily Idea Dream Topics: Peace, Idea Dreams 6001-6500, Ending War, Planet Of Hope, Religion & Spirituality |
| Robert's Golden Sayings | Politicians and group managers on this planet agree on two things: never accept the whole world and humanity as entities; never accept the break-up of their groups by sub-groups or minorities.

However, bees and ants with minuscule brains are le to build societies far more orderly and cleaner than ours. The world is a tremendous, interdependent reality. You can see it and feel it. The world wants to be cared for properly. Yet you are ready to let yourself be killed for limited, intangible, very recent, ever changing, self promoting, artificial mortal entities called nations. Scores of nations, empires, kingdoms, republics and states have vanished during the millennia. History is a vast cemetery of nations, put the planet and its people are still here. When will we at long last recognize this glaring reality and give up the building of and support or doomed nations? People die and nation states persist. * | | "An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." - Victor Hugo (1802 - 1885), 'Histoire d'un crime,' 1852 (HeartMath.com) * | Guestbook Location Map & Photo Collection | 95 entries since 12 Dec 2005, 8 over the weekend.
