Preservation of cultural Heritage

IUCN and UNESCO make strict provision for the preservation of cultural heritage. In the absence of cultural heritage a nation has no national pride. There is also the danger to dictate national pride. No person has the right to reserve himself the obligation to dictate some one else s culture nor religion.

Yet we reserve our self these rights on social networks and reporters reserve them selves the right to dictate life styles, religion and culture. It does not reflect well one ones willingness to function as a nation. We can hide behind criminal activities and do blame shifting to keep the past alive, but history is exactly that. Just History. A avenue of our past that we should respect, but with out the emotional attachment to blame or victimize or belittle some one else.

The real character of an individual is not to follow mass media as a flock of sheep, but to distinguish between right and wrong. The ability to project one self in another circumstances and try and understand the reason why this person chose the set path or words. It is of utmost importance to remember that with out respect for one another there will be no respect at all. To judge a nation by the action of one individual is foolish and futile.

This is the main concern of when we chose with out consideration the destination of another. We will be judge according to our own religion for atrocities committed to another. If we do not understand the needs of others we cannot compile useful implementation of sustainable development. The fact that people still slaughter Goats or Sheep next to their dwellings does not make from them a lesser being than one that can afford the consions of habitat destructive life style for the sake of individual posterity ...

Develop the ability to seek mutual ground that will be beneficial to all ...

This said it is totally ludicrous to cut people out of the economical frame work by applying principals that is based on the strongest will survive.  This is childish school yard politics that will only lead to events where certain members of the society will find out that they are not as chosen as they would wish to be and that the oppressor can quickly become the victim.

Set your emotional high ground aside and work for the betterment of the people around you.
