These are the facts that will shape the fate of not only this region but the entire world in this century. These are the consequences of our failed social development whose highest achievements are worship of money, consumerist foolishness, accumulation of material goods, bragging with wealth, empowering of egoism and destruction of Earth, our common home.

Unless we as a civil society wake up from the state of passivity and step onto the path of activity. Take on the streets and send a clear message to our governments and the world:

Leave, if you cannot lead the world on the path of peace and development for the good of people and the environment!
Leave! Let us — the civil society — to build a better world!
Leave! We are tired of wars and violence! We demand peace!
Leave! We no longer want to be the victims of your backstabbing games!
Leave! Enough lies, threats and ignorance!
Leave! We don’t want to see you anymore!
Leave! We demand a better world for us and our children!
Leave!

Don’t try to fix today’s world. It won’t work because we have chosen a wrong way, a wrong destination. Demand a better world for yourself and your children. Demand an ecohumanist world.

Read what I write and you will find out that the ecohumanist world is much closer to you than today’s increasingly more distant and senseless world.

Being quiet, watching from the side while the world is speeding towards chaos brings nothing. Pointing fingers at others but not do anything by yourself brings nothing.
Making constant excuses “I can’t change the world” brings nothing.
Just talking instead of acting brings nothing.
Complaining after something bad has already happened brings nothing.

This is our planet. A common home of us and future generations and the only one we have. If we are incapable to understand this, then we don’t even know why we were created, why we live and why we even exist.

I firmly believe that we were created in order to “be more” and not to “have more”. But what this “being more” means we will never find out if we continue thinking and acting the same way like now — self-destructively.

Let us say NO for that kind of world, and let us say YES for a new and better world. An ecohumanist world, the world of the future.

I decided for YES.!

That’s why I will just re-publish my last year’s article and once again point out the incompetence of the participants of this forum to solve the problems we’re facing.

Wasting money for nothing.

Even before this summit of the “most developed” nations kicks off, we can say it’s one big waste of money.

Why?

Because the world they imagine and create simply cannot function. Because it’s the kind of world that:

- creates new crises,
- keeps giving more to those who have everything while taking away from those who have nothing,
- wages wars out of appetite for power and wealth,
- spreads crime,
- encourages corruption,
- exploits people,
- deepens social injustice,
- destroys ecological wholeness of the planet,
- changes the climate,
- and even puts human existence in danger.

No matter how many times they meet — a hundred, a thousand — the outcome will be the same: one big nothing.

- Because they don’t get that the above mentioned issues can no longer be solved by money.
- Because the amount of money they would need doesn’t even exist.
- Because in the end all money will run out.
- Because the world will go bankrupt.

Yet they will keep trying and building a world that depends on money, uninsured credits, worthless securities, false business successes, stock market speculation, banking games, political intrigues and secret agreements.

A waste of time and money that goes into those summits. These kinds of meetings could be done through video conferences and the money could be instead given to charitable organizations, hospitals, social establishments, organizations for animal and environmental protection. To anybody, just don’t waste it on this and future fruitless meetings.
But then, if this money went for something useful, our “saviors of the world” wouldn’t be in the center of attention. Nobody would talk about them. Nobody would talk about how important and irreplaceable they are. They would be nothing, just as nothing will come out of their meeting. What will remain, however, is disunity, distrust and some non-obligatory declaration. And of course let’s not forget about the photoshoot at the end to wrap up the summit. That’s most important.

That’s why I write about ecohumanism. About the ecohumanist society that doesn’t solve global problems with money but courage, will, perseverance and a goal to create a world of a better today and the future.

But that is not the only reason why we are where we are — at the edge of the waterfall. It’s not because we over debted each other but because we misspent the credit that nature gave to us. That’s what pushed us to the edge. That’s the credit I am talking about. About credit that we squandered in order to “keep having more” instead of spending it to “become more”.

And even now, just before falling down, we don’t understand that our game is over and that soon we will fight solely for our own survival. This is not some fictional prophecy. There are solid facts behind my thoughts — the facts that we all knowingly ignore in hopes that nature will continue to credit us favorably and pardon the game we play. But it won’t because nature strives towards balance. By the way we behave we are an obstacle in nature’s way that it needs to get rid of. And that’s why it’s already acting now — by protecting itself while punishing us.

If we really are as intelligent as we think we are then let’s finally start looking for this rationality of ours. Maybe we will find it after all, somewhere deep inside of us, undiscovered. That’s all what we have left to do; otherwise we will fall into the abyss from where there will be no return. And that’s a fact, too.

To all the people of the world I wish a peaceful and healthy new year 2012. Think and talk about the ecohumanist world. Start building this world and tell about it to people you know so that one day a different, better world can emerge. A world that John Lennon sung about back then and the world I write about today. This is a world of the future that is better for everybody — the ecohumanist world.

A thought by Thomas Jefferson that will next year and the year after flood the world of the poor and the wealthy and change it forever.

That’s why I write about a new global social order — ecohumanism. Seven billion people today, 15 billion tomorrow will eat this planet and then themselves if nothing will change. Let’s not seek solutions in the existing system because we won’t find them. We must demand and build a new, better world. Ecohumanist world. A world of humanity, social justice and ecological responsibility. A world of the future.

She really lives. If we don’t feel her, comprehend her, understand, respect and don’t see her beauty, are not aware of her uniqueness, don’t breathe with her, don’t live with her, then for her we are but strangers, along with our world that we have built.

That’s also the reason why all previous climate change conferences have been unsuccessful. Just like this latest one or any future ones won’t bring any results.

And why we won’t succeed?

Because we evaluate her with money and not with our heart. Because we don’t beat with her heart.

That’s why I write about ecohumanism. If you have been following my reasons why we need ecohumanism, you will remember my 89th article out of 101 where I wrote this:

Reason #89: Because ecohumanist society thinks completely differently than today’s society.
We Must Accept the Earth as Our Home and Mankind as One Family.
Without rational understanding and full comprehension of this notion, all attempts to solve the problems of our civilization are bound for failure.
It is urgent that we find effective solutions that will demonstrate clear vision and goals acceptable for all. We cannot aim for what we want right now, but for what we really need in a long-term: a lasting socially stable, humane and ecologically conscious global society, the only one that will be able to bring solutions and lead us safely and peacefully into the 22nd century. 

The 15th reason out of 101 why we need a new world order. Ecohumanism.

Reason #15: Because corruption breeds nothing but poverty, ruin and death.

Because the ecohumanist society doesn’t work for money but for itself, for an individual, for the community and for preservation of the environment, the corruption cannot develop.

We evaluate things that cannot be evaluated. It’s abnormal. It’s sick. We are sick, addicted to money; a drug that is running short. Where this is all going, we can see on TV day after day. And it’s going to get worse.

Governments will be declaring state of emergencies, dictatorships will again begin to rise. With the help of military and police, the empire of capital will take over the world. The 1% will rule while the 99% will work and kill each other. And all of this will happen sooner than the bill that nature has yet to issue. The bill that we won’t be able to pay with money because nature doesn’t know money. Nature will not bargain and debate — it will act.

That’s why I write about ecohumanism. So that our agony with money comes to an end. So that we could avoid violence and misery. So that we begin to work for ourselves and no longer for money. So that all of us would live in peace and prosperity.

That’s why need to demand a new social order, a new world. We need to build an ecohumanist world. We owe this to our children and grandchildren. It is on us to build a world of content people who respect themselves, others and nature.
