Who would have to sacrifice? There would be no sacrifice. Everybody wins.

Re: Global Harmony
Achieving harmony I believe to be the reason for our very existence.

The ability to overcome our evolutionary pre-programming through sheer forces of will and kindness of heart is granted us.
If we can do that, there need be no sacrifice other than our own pride and greed and selfishness.

Sacrifice what I may ask? My Possesions? My Life? My freedom of speech?

Does it matter? Harmony is harmony. Something we have never experience. What do you have that is worth holding on to that would exempt you from wanting to be a part of that?

None of the above. Only the right to stand in front of the queue every time.
But believe me, you will receive much more in return.
