Can mankind learn from its mistakes and are you complicit?

If one makes a mistake, then one is supposed to learn from it as well. But is that actually going on in this World. Do we learn from our mistakes? That is a good question. It seems like that things happening in this World are taken for granted and consequences are swallowed without any argument. People don't seem to care about what is going on and that can end in an awful and painful situation. If the World doesn't learn from its mistakes and repeats it, then we are doomed to fail as a society. Can mankind learn from its mistakes or is this how far we can get?

War after war

Both World Wars have ended in millions of deaths, but the second World-war has ended by using nuclear bombs. From that point on Earth has lived in a status quo with constant wars being fought in far places creating much problems, mayhem and disturbance. Even you will feel the consequences of the latest War happening and it doesn't look like it will end nicely. The chance is high that mankind will repeat it's mistakes again, by using nuclear mass-destruction weaponry on its own citizens.

One time isn't a mistake, but ...

A mistake is a mistake, only if it happens once. If a mistake happens twice then it must be considered a decision. This as people need to learn from one's mistakes so that it doesn't happen again. And luckily till this day nuclear weapons haven't been used in order to destroy one and another (expect for testing it). But if at the end of the last war we use nuclear weapons again, then we signal that we haven't learned from what has happened at the end of WWII. Ending WWII with nuclear bombs must be seen as a mistake as we can not understand what consequences these weaponry can have. But if we start using it again, then we are all complicit.

Are we the people complicit?

People who push the button, people who work for that army and people who decide on what happens must be complicit of the things happening. Wars are fought out because people at the top decide it has to be done that way. So they obviously are complicit in it. But that doesn't give all other people a clean sheet. If you know that this seems to be happening, then you ought to do something about it as well. Change the World and stop this foolishness! If we know that something is going to happen, but we do nothing about it then we are complicit as well. Doing nothing when you actually should do something is one of the Seven Deadly Sins aka Sloth. Just by looking at the sideline whilst others are fighting and you can do something about it, means that you are complicit. So then we need to do something as well about this current situation in the World. And you can help.

What can you do for mankind?

We need to show that there is another way in ending this bad situation on Earth. Compassion, understanding, love and hope should be the four cornerstones on which our future must be build. And thus we must change and you can change by doing the right thing. This can be in your personal life by helping those in need or just giving a smile, but it can also be done by spreading the Word for Change. We need to put the Kind back into Mankind as without the kind part only man remains. So we need to help one and another, and we need to change collectively. But as the World situation seems to be very urgent, then we need to act quickly and now. We need to stand up and stand out by making our position clear that we want Change in this World and that we want it now. Without change our World is doomed and thus the only hope we have is by giving an alternative message to the World. Spreading the good Word is necessary so that you and I can enjoy a brighter future by Changing this World now.
