What are the foundations of a “good nation” or society?

Question from the Internet:

“How can we build a good nation?”

The recipe for building a “good nation” is found in the descriptions of how the original Jewish Nation, Israel, was formed.

And although those descriptions are usually found in “religious” texts and concern events that might or might not actually happen, nevertheless, the recipe is practical and true.

It is true because those are actually not “religious documents” that describe how to build a nation or a human society, but they are telling us how such a building should unfold based on nature’s laws.

We exist in, and we are, integral parts of Nature’s finely balanced and mutually integrated system. In this system, the selfless, unconditionally serving, positive, mutually responsible and mutually complementing cooperation of diverse and seemingly incompatible elements and parts creates and sustains life.

A “good nation”, a sustainable, peaceful, and relatively equal human society, needs to be based on the same template.

Those original documents called the system of building a nation “mutual guarantee”, where each and every member of the nation unanimously takes upon oneself to become as responsible, loving and serving towards each and every other member of the nation as for themselves.

Today, in the globally integrated and fully interdependent world, where the life of the individual became tantamount to the life of the whole collective such ideas do not sound so far-fetched or mystical anymore.

We truly evolved into the evolutionary era of “one for all and all for one” within our families, within our nations and all over the world globally.

Today our continuing, collective global human survival depends on rebuilding human connections and the fabric of human society exactly how the original Jewish Nation was formed. In such a nation or society, each and every member will find one’s most optimal, mutually responsible, and mutually complementing place and function while justly and proportionately receiving whatever they need and deserve for such crucially important mutual contribution.
