Food for thought
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights: http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/index.shtml
'May the heads of all countries and races be
guided to understand that men of all nations are
physically and spiritually one: physically one, be-
cause we are the descendants of common parents
--- the symbolic Adam and Eve; and spiritually
one, because we are the immortal children of our
Father, bound by eternal links of brotherhood.
Let us pray in our hearts for a League of Souls
and a United World. Though we may seem
divided by race, creed, color, class, and political
prejudices, still, as children of the one God we
are able in our souls to feel brotherhood and
world unity. May we work for the creation of a
United World in which every nation will be a
useful part, guided by God through man's enlightened conscience.
In our hearts we can all learn to be free from
hate and selfishness. Let us pray for harmony
among the nations, that they march hand in
hand through the gate of a fair new civilization.'
