Hello God!
Thank You for Strength to deep the Faith in Humanity.
Just a day ago the first post of 2015 was planned as a cheerful publication with happy hope to realise a list of the New Year resolutions. Yesterday I with my family celebrated orthodox Christmas…
Yesterday 12 Parisians had their own plan.
Today 12 burning candles are in this post…
As a Political Science post graduate student I had researched a myth based on “The Clash of Civilisation” by Samuel Huntington. “The principal conflicts of global politics will occur between nations and groups of different civilisations.” “The world will be shaped in large measure by the interactions among seven or eight major civilizations. These include Western, Confucian, Japanese, Islamic, Hindu, Slavic-Orthodox, Latin American and possibly African civilisation” the scientist writes.
According to the theory “Islam” is a monolithic force, which is hostile to the West due to wounded pride and deep feelings of inadequacy. “Islam” is also expansionist and prone to violence. “Islam has bloody borders” is Huntington’s most famous statement.
The dangerous simplicity of the theory is in the clear understanding who is evil. But we know that distinct “civilisational” boundaries do not exist in the present day. The fact that many Islamic extremists spent a significant amount of time living or studying in the Western world proves that the evil is own “West” child.
I believe in Humanity. Behind a definitions “Islam” or “West” living people stand. Centuries ago Confucius defined humanity as a “love of people” stating “if you want to make a stand, help others make a stand.” This golden rule should become building principle of the world.
Strengths of Humanity are Love, Kindness and Social Intelligence. Love people, be kind, and be able to act wisely in human relations – in my opinion the formula of human happiness is here. It is so simple. But unfortunately the realisation of it in 2015 is almost unreachable on the policy and society’s level.
There is a way on the personal level. In concept with this realisation, we can pay finer attention to two crucial questions: “How deeply do I care about our common future? How do I actually make a positive difference?”
Mahatma Gandhi answers “You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty”.
The first number in my New Year resolutions is to follow human happiness formula “Love people, be kind, and be able to act wisely in human relations”. I hope my number one reflects in your list. Than by light speed our number one will become the first in every human heart and we shall stop war.
A minute of silence is for 12 brave Parisians.
The bells of Notre Dame cathedral in Paris toll.
We mourn and remember the lesson of the beginning of 2015.

beautiful light
of words 🙂
Thank you!
I found myself a writer with no words. I have never understood death as payment for disagreement. May your candles light the way for all of us.
Claudia, you know that our power in happy laughing, we shall overcome by our smiles! 🙂
I agree, we shouldn’t lose faith in humanity or in any particular subset of it. We should focus on loving more people, not less. What a wonderful post!
Dear Brenda! By your fairy tales you make your faith in humanity acting and powerful. You change planet’s pulse. Thank you!
Wow, thank you! What a lovely thing to say. 🙂 Hugs, Brenda

Happy New Year, this a very powerful piece, very well written with a wonderful and powerful message that needs to get out there, so I will re-blog share on my Facebook page and Google + pages. I am a Baha’i and have thus always believed in humanity, and our need to search for oneness of all people. Best wishes and blessings, Charles. 🙂

A wonderful way of looking towards a great future after this great tragedy.
“You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty”.
Very true. Sometimes it is hard not to forget this.
Hi, I like your article and quotations.

Dear Paris! No one can prepare you for a loss; it comes like a swift wind. I can not imagine what you must be feeling right now. I cannot even begin to understand what you are going through right now, but I offer my prayers and condolences to you, dear Paris.
Words cannot express my sadness.
Will you also write a post for the 49 dead Muslims in New Zealand? The West doesn’t have ‘bloody borders’? Maybe it’s because we are bombing all those we call violent.
Dear Annete, thank you for visiting my blog. I do not understand “WE are bombing all those WE call violent”. Who’s We? West? Yes I have written a post.
