World Wars

In Search of War-free World

Man may or may not accept the questions of ultimate causes and purposes, of reality of man and other living beings, and of  matter, energy and consciousness, as insoluble mystery or may or may not find himself unable to reach some supreme Reality or may or may not believe in God as enforcing His moral discipline, but his targets of life should not be such as determined  on uncertain antagonistic basis and attainable by shedding blood of each other, but should be addressed  to social cohesion and peace. Without peace viz. in conditions of tension and wars, material acquisitions do not give enjoyment, but bring worries.  

       Man, by his original error, has been taking the world for his own indulgence resulting in individuals’ inter se relationship as of rivalry and violence, spending whole life so far in becoming strong by accumulating wealth and inventing weapons of war and shedding blood of his own kind. The present order has, therefore, developed as pro-establishment and anti people. As the path is leading mankind to catastrophic conditions, man should seek some other way that may save mankind from the apprehended dark future. Capitalism and socialism are not the only systems, either to replace the other. Both are based on the same error of self indulgence, growing from hostile atomism leaving no scope for an order of co-existence. 

    Man has produced neither the world nor himself that he may fix his targets of life as self indulgence and self supremacy. The world produces beings/individuals from its own self with certain potentials and properties for its own purpose. It has provided every being with the reproductive system and divided each species into male and female genders obviously for its own continuity through their offspring. Beings have been provided with other faculties and properties for their maintenance Thus the role of individuals is of contribution to the world order like all other forces of nature. In performing their role in the service of the world order, beings get superior enjoyment to that pleasure that they get in sensual indulgence and arrogance. All beings are therefore for one purpose that is to serve the world order and therefore their inter se relationships become that of cooperation, co-existence and love, not of rivalry, tension  and wars. Mankind should therefore develop a culture that should   establish a world order of coexistence finishing all chances of wars and that is possible in realizing the reality as cohesive organism

        Materialism that has been erected by the commercial class on hostile atomism, not on science, is illogical and is obsessed with the motivation of increasing their own wealth, not for the wellbeing of the people. It is also in struggle to get emancipation from the papacy that imposes moral discipline which businessmen think as anti progress. . Though material science has given mankind many things of comforts, speed and efficiency, but, materialism that rules the people by its political science and economics, which are not authenticated as scientific by the scientists, .is responsible for all the modern human problems which are threatening the very existence of mankind. The problems emanate from its wrong targets of self indulgence and self supremacy, and doctrines like individualism, competition, and the misuse of maxim of survival of the fittest with the corollary that unfit must suffer for their  unfitness. These are against the spirit of social cohesion and peace and deny others right to live with dignity.

     Modernism since its advent has ever been pursing linear approach in inventing   things and innovating measures, claiming to make life comfortable, but practically for eliminating each other, making life complicated, hard, stressful and devastating by result. People are allured by it as well as fearful of its march and find themselves disillusioned and helpless apprehending that this way goes to hell, not to paradise Theoretically, they are to cooperate, compete and co-exist in the exploitation of Nature for this purpose. But people competing for self indulgence and self supremacy, cannot by nature co-exist. They exploit Nature in competition for eliminating each other.      

    Atomism developed after industry was mechanized in Europe. Then their businessmen became greedy and arrogant and made their targets as self indulgence and self supremacy, holding that progress is possible by competition. The European countries became the producers and the whole world was their market, thereby they became prosperous.. In the process they themselves fought many bloody wars for carving out their empires and   wasted their funds on wars. After the World War II, the slave countries become free and they too have become industrialized and producers. Mechanization of industry is increasing unemployment and   bringing poverty to the majority of the people.   Now the whole world is going to be producer producing goods much more than the need and beyond the purchasing power of the majority. The mechanized capitalism is waiting for its own collapse and the end of atomism though it has already got  crippled by its own produced problems viz. pollution, global warming, over-consumption of natural resources,  diseases and other problems routed in them. Though   disillusioned from this order, atomists   feel helpless seeing no other alternative.

   Now the people are at the mercy of lethal weapons, terrorism; wars, stress and tension, global warming and pollution of environments and food, diseases like cancer as legacy of this order. These problems are the product of .atomism and the state constitutions made under it. Issues of purposefulness of life, stability of family, social cohesion and peace of mind most needed by mankind, pose greatest challenge to the linear atomism .From the above results we do understand that the path is wrong and needs revolutionary change, not patch work in the present system. Presently  countries are governed by state hostile polities under nationalism and patriotism. Its antidote is world polity World polity means one system to govern the whole mankind believing in oneness of mankind and for the welfare of all. World government is different thing from world polity. The former can be by domination of one country without believing in the oneness of mankind and the welfare of all.  Feasibility of world polity has to be maintained as there is no other alterative. As state polities are under atomism, World Polity would be established in the culture of its antidote organism.

. The world in reality is an organism functioning by its own produced constituents by their inter se relationship of complementarity and interdependence. We understand that all beings have the one and the same source, support and destination. These facts point to the oneness of mankind as the reality and to the divinity of   world polity. Purpose of life is enjoyment by making contribution. Tendencies of assertion and greed are individual’s weaknesses, not reality. It is to be won over and can be won over by culture of organism.

        People should raise voice against exploitative atomism and for the annulment of the constitution made there under and a new one be made on the basis of organism, not by politicians but by those who believe in the oneness of mankind and co-existence to function as per world polity; allowing freedom for local cultures and arrangements, subject to their conformity to the world polity. It appeals to the governments and universities to reject state polities and instead propose world polity to be enforced though UN. It would save mankind from destruction by wars and wastage of huge funds on arrangement of armies, parliaments and legislative assemblies and law and order machinery. Laws would be part of culture and education. Education of organism in all units/countries would be under UN to ensure that no unit gets   inclined for assertion over others.           

        Organism is the seed of phenomena, from which two leaves or wings sprout, one of World Polity and the other is of Culture, which are complementary like male and female genders for the maintenance of the world order. Culture disciplines the world polity and world polity protects culture.        The forum of UN can play the role for promulgating world polity from above. As an agency of the whole world, world polity under UN would check competition and exploitation between countries from top. Within the states, after being free from fear of external aggression, the culture of organism   would guide and discipline minds of the people both in authority and in the public at the bottom, to work for the welfare of all, not for self supremacy. The states then would be administrative units.   UN would prepare the member countries to adopt organism as path of peace and cooperation and shun the path of exploitation of each other by trade or militarily in the interest of world peace It would amend its own Charter of objectives by the new one and ask member countries to change their own constitutions too with the objective of ending economic exploitation of the people and the countries by trade or militarily,

The day ushered in a great change for the United States as well becuse, on D-Day, America began its march to the forefront of the Western world.By the end of the Battle of Normandy, almost one of every two soldiers involved was an American, and without American weapons, supplies, and leadership, the outcome of the invasion and ensuing battle could have been very different.In the first of two volumes on the American contribution to the Allied victory at Normandy, John C.

Thanks to extensive archival research, and the use of hundreds of first hand accounts, McManus answers these questions and many more.In The Americans at D-Day, a gripping narrative history reminiscent of Cornelius Ryan’s The Longest Day, McManus takes readers into the minds of American strategists, into the hearts of the infantry, into hell on earth.Impressively researched, engrossing, lightning quick, and filled with human sorrow and elation, The Americans at D-Day honors those Americans who lost their lives on D-Day, as well as those who were fortunate enough to survive.
