Global Harmony

[William]

Would you be willing to sacrifice to achieve GLOBAL HARMONY?

Thank's for your thoughts,

What would I be willing to sacrifice or would I be willing to sacrifice? I am unsure which you are asking.

Does it even matter ? The answer is No/Nothing anyway.

Sorry, if it was confusing. Would you be willing to sacrifice what you have to achieve global harmony? It is a bit of a loaded question, so be careful. IMO.

TTM and ARI,

Let's Let a few more toss in their ideas and then we can discuss what the question, IMO, truly means.
Thanks,

The Buddhist monks don't see it as they are forced to conform or that they lose their individuality when they shave their head and wear the same robes of the same colour the others do. Why ? Because these things, ultimately, don't matter. How many people see things this way ?

Now I must apologize for asking a question for which there is no definition: Global Harmony. It doesn’t exist and now that I think about it, it’s for good reason. We have never experienced anything in our existence that comes close to it. Not by a long shot. So what I have done is devised my own by coupling the two definitions of "Global" and "Harmony" together. What do you think. Do you think my definition sums it up. Please feel free to offer you own, and change mine if you feel you have an idea that would be more appropriate. Once we can arrive on a consensus, then we can discuss if it is worth sacrificing for.

"A worldwide balance, symmetry and accord between all the inhabitants of the planet Earth to insure maximum utilization of all the resources the Earth has to offer including those individual talent’s , skill’s, labor and knowledge creating a life to be enjoyed by all".

Sorry for the mistake. I had no idea "World Harmony" had never been addressed in any context as it relates to someone having at least an idea of what that would entail to achieve such a state.

I like your idea, William, but this sounds too much like a corporate Mission Statement for me to feel comfortable with. Corporations I've worked for in the past are pretty keen to have everyone buy into the Mission Statement. Those who don't buy in often find themselves (if I may use the corporate vernacular) "leaving the company to pursue other interests."

Respectfully,
Tock

Yeah, your right. I'll work on it.
