RE: DIS-UNITED EUROPE: TIME TO PUT AN END TO ITS MISERY

in #european-union8 years ago

@blue1950 It's hard to see any hope. A lot of people are proud slaves of whatever nation they were born into. Even if the country really sucks, and the people are struggling, they will tell you how great it is or use to be. They might blame their situation on a political party, rich people, corporations, ISIS, whatever.

The reality is that all countries/governments, and borders exist solely in the imaginations of humans. Each nation or political party believes it has the true imagination of how the world is and should be and that it has the right to force it on everyone else for their own good. "War is peace, freedom is slavery...". This is the main problem.

Sort:

You are unfortunately right -- to a certain extent. Aristotle has given answers to your theory and Plato worked out a "Republic" that was workable (in theory). Pessimists would embrace your thoughts without much hesitation.

I'm still working on what is the right thing to do. Most probably, I won't have an answer--ever.
