I have come to the reality that in order for me to trust other people ,I need to trust me first. This is not to say that I do not trust other people, it just means that complete trust requires a connection to other people that is not always available from others. there is a cosmic connection between all of us yet the Ethno-Racial, religious divide still exists and has manifested itself in all parts of the world. With all the advances made in this modern world the conditions of the Crusades era still exist. The atrocities of much of the African and Asian continents are based in religious differences, greed and abject poverty due to Government malfeasance. The general method of ruling in the African and Asian continents appears to be one of murder, rape and jail. The resources in many of these areas are significant enough to sustain the population and bring the standards of living to a higher level. Unfortunately the rebel factions of these areas have promoted leaders who once in power are reluctant to release that power as well as the perks provided (or taken) by the office. We have “third” world countries that have prospered due to the influx of outside business expertise  and money  are poised to become 2nd or 1st world countries yet cannot achieve practical Governance without bloodshed. Trust the people to survive and eventually prevail.
