A very interesting observation.
An even more interesting question.
Do ponder where we are heading to and what are the remedies.
To be honest I doubt if anybody has the faintest idea where we are heading. My own suspicion is the world is being more split on a daily basis. It is known that division is a tool for conquest. But the Question is who is behind the division?
Mankind itself is facing massive division. Mankind is not united, it is divided.
We have 5 major divisions of mankind taking place. Those are the religious divisions. The world is separated into Muslim, Christian, Judaism, Atheism and non-montheistic beliefs. A question would be who gains from this division?
Within each of those Divisions there is much discord and lack of unity. As Muslims we are aware of the discord among ourselves. Yet, each belief system has within itself even mor discord than what we as Muslims face. In spite of our self awareness of our internal discord we are much more United than any other group. Christians are divided into thousands of Subgroups. Judaism is divided, and for the small number of Jews in the world that division is very large.. Non-Montheistic religions number into the many thousands each very much against the others. Atheism is virtually without unity, each atheist is on his or her own. Who is the one who gains by these divisions?
Perhaps the true division in the world is the division of economics. The haves and the have nots. The haves keep becoming a smaller group, but controlling more of the wealth. The have nots keep increasing in numbers, but with a reduction in overall wealth.
So to ponder where we are heading we have to first identify who to include as we. Now to answer what are the remedies, we have to first identify what is the
SPECIFIC problem. we all have an opinion as to what the problems are, but have any of us actually identified a specific unerversal one or are we just grasping at straws and hoping that by eliminating problem A, things have been cured?
