Why can’t we live as 1 world?

There are times when I wonder why do we even care to be nationalists. Why can’t we all just be citizens of this planet? Why do we need these boundaries created by noone but ourselves?

The answer to all these questions lies in the fact that humans have a tendency to self organize themselves. This is the reason why we came up with the idea of countries.

Also, we thrive in competition. So countries competing against each other actually helps the world grow at a faster pace.

But it is this time during the year that I start questioning nationalism. There is everyone saying don’t buy Chinese goods for Diwali. I may be wrong at this but boycotting Chinese goods just because we want to help our country’s economy grow doesn’t make sense.

It is only because China produces much better stuff at cheaper rates that we Indians buy it. If we were a part of 1 world. Noone would have had a problem with buying things from anywhere.

Rather can’t India try to employ the labour intensive technique as well as China and offer stuff at competitive rates.

Above all this, we should realize we are home sapiens and are sitting on a planet from this one solar system. There are so many more solar systems in this and other galaxies. The point I’m trying to make here is, we are an extremely insignificant part of this universe.

Still we are competing among ourselves just on the grounds that one country is ours while others aren’t. Why can’t we start living as a planet? Buy stuff from wherever it is best produced. Let’s forget the boundaries for once and for all.

And what boundaries are we talking about, the ones made by ourselves because God made this planet sphere to avoid the edges. But we humans made boundaries on an edgeless sphere.

Let’s start living as 1 edgeless sphere.

Maybe together we can do better.
