Can we solve ethnic strife?

Question from the Internet:

“Can humans solve the dilemma of ethnic strife?”

First of all, we cannot erase or suppress our ethnicity, our individual or national identity. It is part of our DNA, and any attempts to suppress or erase our uniqueness bring violent rebound reactions that “clever” politicians can exploit easily.

Thus we cannot create peaceful and equal societies by creating identity-less, homogenous “zombies” that present “modern” society tries to create. We also cannot solve past or present “ethnic” problems by humiliating or punishing other ethnicities to make certain groups of people “feel better”.

Any solution to our diversity and vast differences can come only when we all understand that we are all necessary and unique, irreplaceable parts of a single whole. We will build a different, better, positive and constructive, mutually responsible and mutually complementing human society — where each finds their rightful, most optimal role and function — when we understand and feel our total interdependence and how we can all benefit from a Nature-like mutual integration.

And this can unfold only without any coercion or misleading propaganda when people “buy into” the idea of mutual integration, fully understanding and feeling without any doubt that it is in their best interest. And this is possible with the help of a unique, purposeful and practical educational method.
