Solidarism – A new approach of achieving a real brotherhood of mankind


I. Motivation
 
There is nothing new, nothing unsaid, nothing brilliant in the following text. The reader, can easily look in books and articles of  the great minds of humanity to find the inspiration for all that follows.  There is though, something that we, humans,  tend to forget each and every day of our lives.

We struggle daily for a better future but who's to tell what's the best for everyone? There is a link between us, that may seem invisible and fragile from times to times but it has been always there and will never cease to exist. Without taking this link in account, the better future will never come. Will never come simply because it can not be different for each one of us. It can not be different because our interaction is constant and inevitable. And nowadays, this interaction happens instantly and bring changes globally.

What we have to understand is that the only way to move forward is together, based on ethics and the human nature for peaceful progress, that can finally be globally determined. This global agreement has nothing in common with what we call globalization. It is a global agreement on basic and simple principles of living with respect to each other. Does not imply ruining cultures or our beautiful differences that boost our imagination and curiosity. In fact, it is exactly the opposite that should pave the way.

The nations of the world, under unifying and yet liberating principles, working with the help of each other, to eliminate the problems that seem unsolved today. And furthermore, societies inside the nations, aiding the common fight against all the pathogens of our kind, the deadly mental and materialistic 'diseases' that lead to poverty, hunger, inequality, wars, fanaticism, hate as well as depression, suicides, fear and passivity. In the end, zooming into the smallest form of society, the family, things clear up. As love, endless care and help, forgiveness and life-lasting acceptance are the rules in a normal 'healthy' family, based on the blood links between its members, the hard links between each and every one of us should come to the surface and the same family's unsaid and unwritten laws should lead us in a society and eventually a world of...

...Solidarity and Respect.
