“My country is also great” - Add one word to a thought to stop all wars being fought.

The root thought that promotes discrimination based on nationality or race is: “My country is great” or “My race is superior.” This makes one feel that the other country is inferior. There is a need to bring in a new perspective of looking at ourselves as a 'World Citizen' along with identifying individually as an Indian or Italian or German. Only then will we be capable of saying, "My country is also great." The word 'also' communicates that we recognize the uniqueness of each and every country. Learning to see ourselves as humans first eliminates all discriminations.

A World Citizen is a one who does not have his actions and thoughts limited by the boundaries of religion, race, gender, creed, society, sect or nation. He takes care of every human life breathing on Earth with equality. He is ready to share everything that nature offers.

How to be a World Citizen?
• Enhance your consciousness by recognizing that every single life on Earth is supported by one universal thread of life. Thus, the first step is the understanding of oneness.
• Develop a global perspective by reading the history of other countries, understanding their culture and appreciating their uniqueness. Studying the nature, environment, the balance between the human, plant and animal kingdoms, will make you revere the beauty of creation and in turn shall inspire you to take effort to restore and maintain the balance of nature.
• Work towards the benefit of the entire world. Undertake impersonal projects for the benefit of others. This should not be limited to just your own country, but should extend to the whole world. The focus of a World Citizen is enhancing global consciousness.
