How can a divided government unite people?
How can a government that divides people, unite people?
Today, the world is made up of various forms of governments, but they're part of the problem because they divide people, instead of unite them:
- Political Parties:
- Having various political parties to choose from gives people a sense of freedom of choice, but what it actually does is divide people into political parties. The government is divided into political parties and the people are divided into political affiliations.
- People who are divided, can't stand together.
- In bestowal (for others), we're united under one ideology - to benefit others and Nature instead of ourselves. (More specifically, to bring contentment to The Creator by seeking to benefiting others and all of Nature.)
- Rich Rulers:
- In some cases, the people who rule are extremely wealthy, whereas the rest of the population is middle class or poor. This divides people into social economic classes, the governing class that is rich and the rest of the people who are middle class or poor.
- People who are divided, can't stand together.
- In bestowal (for others), the wealth gap between the rich and others disappears. The focus is on meeting our basic needs - food, water, clothing, shelter etc., ensuring that everyone has what they need.
- Powerful Rulers:
- In some cases, the people who rule exert a tremendous amount of power, control and domination over the rest of the population. This divides people into power classes, those with power and those without.
- People who are divided, can't stand together.
- In bestowal (for others), everyone contributes their piece to the puzzle, to society, because everyone is seeking to benefit others and Nature. As such, everyone is valuable.
- Rulers With Privileges:
- In some cases, the people who rule grant themselves certain rights and privileges that aren't available to the rest of the population. This divides people into classes, those with privileges and those without.
- People who are divided, can't stand together.
- In bestowal (for others), based on their role in society, people are granted the resources they need to benefit others and Nature. We're all different and we have different roles to play, but we're all equal.
The only solution is connection. We have to change from selfishness to bestowal. Instead of seeking to benefit ourselves, we should seek to benefit others and all of Nature.
When we seek to benefit other and Nature, we become blind to nationality, politics, religion, race, gender, social status, wealth etc.
Bestowal unites people in mutual responsibility, where everyone is seeking to do good to others and Nature, to benefit others and Nature in a positive and constructive way. Everyone is equal and eventually all become united as one.
Connection is the answer.
