Haiti
It has been more than three weeks since Haiti was devastated
by a powerful earthquake rated 7.0 on the
Richter
scale. More
than one million people need help just to live a normal
day-to-day life.
Still the minimum has not been provided to everyone!
After three weeks, people are still being found alive under the
collapsed buildings (although it is winding down and,
recently, fewer survivors have been found).
How many have died because the help did not
arrive in time?
We spend billions on war equipment and how to better
and more effectively kill others.
We have become so efficient at this that we can invade a
huge country in just a few weeks.
However, when it comes to helping the poor, needy,
and disaster-stricken, we cannot do it in a
month!
In a gathering of many spiritual organizations that were
all committed to the unification of humanity (the World
Unity Forum), one of the leaders lamented that: He does
not know what we can do with the war machines we have
created on earth.
How can we dismantle them if peace comes and
humanity is unified!
It seemed a legitimate question to many of the people
present. All
pondered on the question and all came to the conclusion
that he was right, it would be hard.
If we do dismantle these huge organizations, which, with
some exceptions,
have no beneficial functions but to wage war and defend
our way of life, then what will happen to all the people
they hired, what will happen to the research and
development (R&D) they perform, etc.?
Even then I suggested that we could create a search and rescue
army on earth.
We could spend all this money on this project and
the project to reach space.
We could hire even more people and achieve greater
discoveries and technical achievements (R&D) than we had ever dreamed of.
The idea went right over their heads.
They could not imagine an earth without armies
and war. I
hope this article will not end up where my idea ended up
in those meetings: IGNORED!
Just think about it: If there was such a force, and if this force was supported worldwide with
hundreds and thousands of volunteers (even millions)
added to it.
This force would have a huge budget.
They would have stations all over the world.
There would be a permanent staff which would
train people, keep everything working smoothly, etc.
The rest would be volunteers of all ages and young people who
would dedicate some years of their youth to this force.
With this force, if there is a disaster like Haiti,
there would be hundreds and thousands of helicopters,
bringing as many resources as needed, which would land where
the disaster has struck.
The security force would come first, and would
secure all places affected.
The paramedics and what is needed to help the
injured immediately, would arrive next.
At the same time or a little later, the
needed equipment and those who have the expertise to help
people who are trapped under debris would arrive.
A crew might be trained to gather the dead and
dispose of them.
Then the portable hospitals, doctors, nurses,
etc. would arrive
Of course the organization will make this procedure occur in the most efficient way possible.
Probably they could help the people, rescue the
trapped and injured, and bury the dead, etc. within 24
to 48 hours.
Surely, you cannot carry out such an operation with one
puny, half-equipped airport and a few well-intended
organizations, volunteers, etc., as was the case in Haiti.
If we can overcome human egos and make all realize that
everyone is the Child Of God, then we can come together
and look at the Essence of Man.
Not only is there One God, and we have proven that He
has sent all the religions, but He is also the God of All humanity.
There is no one higher, or lower, in His Eyes.
We have to set up the earth in such a way that human
life and humanity's progress towards the Goal, is paramount
over all else.
And it has to be worldwide. Otherwise the struggle
for limited resources will continue.
By reaching to space, unlimited resources will
be realized and humans can have greater standards of
living than was ever possible before.
There is no need for war.
Therefore, we have to expand our vision and help others
also see the benefit of Gods Plan (all humans are His
Children).
We have to overcome our Fears and Trust God that His
Ways will be much more beneficial than our ways.
There is no doubt that He has created this
universe and He Knows what is best for His creatures.
Animals and plants do not have much choice but to
follow their Daharmas. However, we do.
If we choose His Ways and His Prophets, not only will we benefit, we might even improve our
situation beyond what is provided for us on earth!
Besides:
With these realizations and the coming of
the Kingdom, the number of disasters will also decrease!
M
Note: As humans become more in tune with
nature, they might gain the ability to sense coming disasters before
they strike.
It is well known that animals have this ability!
Also,
we might be able to educate people to stop building in
places that are known to be disaster-prone.
