Synergy

There has been lots of debates about lots of issues in the region. starting from local issues ( traffic police, moral police ....etc. ) to international issues ( Palestine , Syria , Lebanon ...... ).
There was a time when people were dreaming of uniting, dreaming of no boarders, dreaming of accepting each other.
Right now most of us are looking into only survival of the fittest. Countries are turning there backs to each other. The gain in this NOTHING.
When will we consider ourselves mature enough to recognise the affects that we are implying on each other. We love to talk about unity, we idealize it a lot in our daily lives, but we never think about acting on it.
Lets start with a few simple steps, acknowledge the fact that each and everyone of us is different ( race, religion, origin ) and do not act on these as a basis to be different. We have seen the affect of this back in the early 20th century. We will see the affect of this in 21st century. It is dated back to the beginning of time, and there was nothing gained about this.
While the fact is that most of us don't want to see the big picture, and we talk about being one nation bonded by all of these ( not divided ) we act as if we are the only people here through poems, through story telling of glorious days of conquering other tribes, and also through interaction with one another.
Why is that when we mingle with foreigners, we try to understand them even though there are from a different culture, BUT will not try to understand each other?
This relates to every one and everything in this region from top to bottom, from left to right.
Synergy does not and will not exist if this continues.
It reached to a point that outside of this region are planning a reform strategy for us and declaring on international TVs, while we sit, listen and acknowledge this. We are good , or maybe even great in condemning things , but we are NOT even close to acting or trying to implement anything that has to do with the greater good of our nations.
Also another step that could be taken is to respect one another. most of our problems can be solved by doing this. From forming lines to national debates, if only we listened and recognised each other as humans with simple rights, things would be much better.
Do this for a change : when you see someone who needs your help ( and you have the time ) try to help them. It could be helping to walk stairs or allowing an elder person to pay ahead of you in the supermarket. These simple gestures will help us elevate to a higher standard as a nation let alone as humans.
