Rethinking Reality

Truth is like the outer husk that covers a kernel of rice. When the outer husk is removed, the true self appears.

The victors of WW2 advised their heirs to always remember the common standards outlined in the UN Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) to avoid experiencing the barbarous acts they endured. The victors of WW2 proposed that their heirs defy conventional understanding of power, wealth, and happiness to ensure that the self remains protected just as the outer husk of a kernel of rice protects the seed. Strangely, the heirs of the victors of WW2 did not attain the true liberation that their fathers had counselled them to seek; instead, they chose to follow the practices of their forefathers, allowing emotional and ideological aspects to play out or spill over. Since 1945, the reliance of the heirs of the victors of WW2 on the value of diplomatic relations has been at its lowest. The heirs of the victors of WW2 do not want to assign the massive global change that is underway any weight. The heirs of the victors of WW2 refuse to recognize that other people share a stake in global security and fail to acknowledge their limitations, which is necessary to prevent the ongoing disruption of national political and economic frameworks from backfiring or negatively impacting their wealth, power, and status.

The heirs of the victors of WW2 have chosen to adhere to standards they created themselves, similar to those of their forefathers, rather than following the true guidance their fathers provided, which has resulted in assumptions that have deepened global divisions. So far, there is a lack of vision regarding how to correct the capitalist system, which has gone off track and is facing collapse as a result of economic liberalism. With no clear vision on how to emerge from the economic crisis that the heirs of the victors of WW2 created by deviating from the work program suggested in the UN Charter and UDHR, the world appears to be heading toward an international order that is increasingly dominated by groups of major business tycoons—men with vested interests who have formed a sort of mafia seeking global control. Those tycoons focus solely on how their domination and the protection of their interests at the expense of others are supposedly resolving the current political and economic situation, rather than on how to promote comprehensive development and world security through a collaborative approach. The policy and political language of those tycoons is aligned with their role, their capabilities, and their historical perspective, without giving any due consideration to the inevitability of the historical trajectory. Primitive, predatory, and colonial ideas rooted in fraud and mafia-like tactics span the globe. 

The problem is that human nature can give rise to all things. Relying on mafia-style approaches to exercise control over the international order raises despair and pushes people to plunder wealth and dismantle international laws and institutions instead of relying on law and order to create conditions for peace and security. In addition, the mechanisms that mafia-style approaches cultivate do not deepen crisis management but push the individuals involved to rely on greater gambles. If this unstable political situation that emerged around the globe in recent years persists, more people will be aware of their true nature. As the number of emboldened individuals increases, the heirs of the victors of World War II may struggle to maintain their superiority, which their fathers desired, and new individuals may begin to assume their roles.

If the heirs of the victors of WW2 do not strive to promote the standards suggested in the UN Charter or the UDHR to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance to reduce the losses that are constantly growing, there is a good chance that people’s ability to recognize and label things will become distorted. When the enactment of laws and standards becomes ineffective in creating neutral emotional reactions, then the emotional response (i.e., habits, volitions, thoughts, etc.) of people would become driven by power and greed instead of justice and righteousness. Most people will suffer significant losses in the world due to their delusion of power.

The book Rethinking Reality aims to highlight the danger that humanity faces when the world people create in their minds fosters precepts that strengthen greed, anger, and ignorance, rather than encouraging reflection and wisdom to help the mind overcome afflictions. The book highlights the consequences of allowing the colonial framework established by old powers to become an enduring reality.

The book tries to emphasize the importance of prioritizing truth to avoid the framework that the political formula that the old powers built before WW2 erupted and spread further. This is because the confusion that such a strategy will create seals the hearts, hearing, and sights of people from the truth and prompts them to continue to spread corruption and deceit, which has the potential to destroy all the human progress that was achieved.

When the heirs of the victors of WW2 practice the policies that they found their fathers practicing instead of the common standards suggested in the UN Charter and the UDHR, they throw all the gains of their fathers and forefathers into the trash, as the percepts that they would be cultivating would be sustaining the colonial formula or construct that led all the time to the collapse of its users instead of giving the new unique formula that their fathers suggested the chance to work.

The objective of this work is to highlight the importance of prioritizing clear political frameworks to strengthen international unity and avoid the hegemonic project that the heirs of the victors of WW2 are following since the date when World War Two was regarded to have ended and in which people would become politically divided to secure a colonial agenda that deepens corruption, deception, and sectarian interests instead of to reduce such behaviors. Therefore, the heirs of the old powers may lose their superiority if confusion, disregard, and contempt become uncontrollable; such a situation could lead to a permanent political paralysis and historical dynamic, resulting in fleeting moral victories.
