History 2

The dualism between us and them has a long history, and it is not quite over yet. But the progress made by dissolving the dualism is much more important than the effects of fighting out the dualism in the old way. It is better for all when Hungary, Poland and other East European countries join NATO, rather than risk war with NATO.
Even in Afghanistan, where NATO actually is waging war, the difficulties of making peace as an effect of the war is discussed.
Between nations, the idea of peaceful cooperation is the normal attitude, but between individuals and local groups the old dualism remains. Young people gather around different football teams and fight the supporters of the other teams. It is almost instinctive.
If we have a mind based world view we naturally include all individuals in our world, and we also include a total self-awareness of our self in our world. We see the good in others and the bad in our self, and not only the bad in others and the good in our self. The differences are seen with tolerance and appreciation.
