Beyond saving Earth

I shall assume that now in the 21^st century we have successfully implemented a framework to preserve the climate change on planet Earth by decreasing the emissions of gases that previously lead to greenhouse effect in the 20^th century.

This is a great step for humanity since now we can live in a better clean planet and hence advance in a way that differs from the previous one throughout the history, however my question: are we really living in a better clean planet as humans in this case? I am looking for answers in this post.

On the physical level, the planet became cleaner than the past and thus health shall be better as I discussed in the previous post, however on the physiological level, I am wondering about another kind of emissions of gases which are the hate and anger between people because of the differences.

A careful look on our overall history as humans in the past 20 centuries tell us that despite the continuous development on the technical level, we have no parallel development in the same way on the human one in terms of accepting our differences, which I see as a serious threat that is equal to the physical climate change threat.

I have discussed before how tunnel vision caused people to be blind for seeing the common grounds they have which is simply that we may know each other and cooperate with each other. On the contrary, you find humans regardless their religions and ideologies are still far from way for achieving such coexistence.

I emphasize on the point that we are neither angles nor devils but humans, thus dreaming about an ideal state of smooth human interaction is not my point because no “Utopia” on Earth. Nevertheless, whatever your religion and/or ideology, we are at the end of the day sharing the same place either locally; people of the same country or globally; nations of different countries.

Verily, I do not like simplification of situations that it is all about “good people versus bad people” from the ‘ethical’ and ‘religious’ point of view; it is true but not the only reason because the higher the level of interaction, the more complexity of relations and more reasons are being evolved.

Consequently, for me, it is clear that all of us need to reach a state of mind where people understand their differences and know how to deal with it in a better way than the existing one where every body accepts the stereotypes from whoever against whoever generally and during the past 30 years particularly.

In a nutshell, I am simply wondering when we can reach this? Or may be it is only happening on the intellectual level but it is still too slow for reaching the common level of people everywhere and here I mean all of us, not the usual segregation of the 1^st versus the 3^rd world since I am not sure about the validity of this categorisation when it comes to dealing with stereotypes.

“O mankind! Lo! We have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that ye may know one another. Lo! the noblest of you, in the sight of Allah, is the best in conduct. Lo! Allah is Knower, Aware.” ~ [Holy Qur'an (49:13)]
