The Time is Now to Act

Monaem Sarker, Politician, presently Director General, Bangladesh Foundation for Development Research :
Manifold of problems endanger our world and the stability of our society. Fundamentalisms, Drugs, Aids, Terrorism, specially Islamic Terrorist & Imperialist in new form have created crises around the globe. A new Phenomenon of trade war between the USA and its trading pertners have created a number of downside risk for the global economy.
Encouraging is that in the recent past, broader views in the scientific world have been achieved. We know that our problems have been caused by people. Therefore in principle they can be solved by people. The prerequisite however is a profound global change of value & awareness. Word Forum like UNO, UNESCO, WTO, World Bank etc. are facing problems for fund.
We can give up obsolete ideas & behaviors and accept new ones. Mankind has done this for centuries. They have replaced the obsolete and detrimental with more modern & better ones. But wishes & views alone are not sufficient. We shall have to summons the courage & strength in the sense to act- and now! Then now we have realized that our doing has endangered our own survival and that of many species. It would be hence absurd to continue like this.
If we manage to come to know and to open us completely to the possibilities of the given moment, then we together, with fresh unbiased minds, can tackle new possibilities. Possibilities which are not based on previous experiences that are no longer useful today, but allow for creative solutions which are urgently needed.
We should look for people all over the world who will courageously implement their visions for a more sustainable and just world order. The goal is to develop our awareness in order to reach a more harmonious world in which a long term existence of mankind in a life worthy environment is not put into question.
‘The time is now’ this saying reminds us of the urgency of bringing about positive developments for this world, and calls upon us to become aware of the necessity of well considered action of the right moment. It exhorts us to look for remedies and to see to it that they are actually applied.
The main concept is to addresses people who want to change something themselves and are not satisfied with the existing explanation of the great questions of our time. We are confident that every single person is capable of positively influencing the future of the world & would like to encourages as many as possible to increase their contribution to this globe.
We should thought on a global level- though we have solved many human problems and giving comfort to individuals but we could not address as yet the Global warring Earthquake, Bushfire, Tidal wave, Tsunami, Natural Calamities etc. We should take these as serious problems and attempt to act and think in a manner that is in the long term interest of fellow human beings. Now Global thinking is a question of survival.
We have witness two devastating and inhumane World Wars in 20th century. By any measure, the Second World War was the greatest man-made catastrophe of the time.
Now regional conflicts are going on for decades, such as : (a) Palestine & Israel, (b) Kashmir issue (c) Conflict in Middle East in various form of power struggle. New fundamentalist struggle in the name of Bokoharam, Al-kaida, IS etc. The way religious fundamentalism are growing even the Buddhist (‘Ong Santi’), JEWS adventure in Middle East, Racist in Europe, America, Black & white problems may lead to crusade but we should go to renaissance like 14, 15 & 16 century in twenty first century. The people of the world should collectively address these issues otherwise the Third World War or crusade may happen any time.
