Today is the end result of all that went before it....and so too is every individual.
As I go through life I find that it's not necessary to believe in extraneous concepts as everything is a preferred point of view.
No one is really looking for the 'truth' but merely seeking a reason, or justification, to believe what they choose to believe.
Personally I adopt the attitude that all things are possible and don't concern myself in trying to prove one thing or another.
Injustices will always be part of humanity because humanity itself is still merely a concept, a political construct for all to rally around.
An illusion there to serve the disillusioned.
'If', the biggest word with a mere two letters, family principles were extended to society at large we would have a society with a common goal.
Mono cultures have a greater chance of maintaining these values and therefore be a far more stable society.
Those communities, country's that were created with a political end in mind will always be in conflict and I speak of the colonies where self determination was disrupted and elements foreign were inserted into the prevailing social fabric of that society, Australia, US, Canada, Central and South America, Mexico, Hong Kong, Africa all in the name of profit through conquest and subjugation.
Since the invading armies of the Romans, whose roads can still be traveled on today, can you see where an invading force gave something back to the vanquished, and I mean vanquished not privileged.
The worst case being the decimation of Iraq, where the world stood back and did nothing, although some did belly ache quietly.....I didn't see any sanctions then, or since, and justice has been on a holiday since...
No! we are the end result....so rejoice in what you've worked so hard at ignoring, and stop bitching when the consequences of having no principles smacks you in the face.
Hate is merely a distraction....a total waste of energy that blinds the individual

Special Delivery,

You mention Rome and colonisation, but you fail to mention the ongoing historical invasions and conquests of the Muslims and the Ottoman Empire.

The Ottoman Empire Marched a million people, mostly Christians out into the desert and left them there to die without food or water. Their bones can still be found there today. Caliphates were set up by the invading Muslims in Syria and the Middle East in the 1800’s. In 1850, massacres and genocides were carried out by the Muslims on the people in Damascus and Aleppo.

The muslims also took over Northern Africa in earlier centuries. They killed thousands of Africans and enslaved the rest.

What about the invasion of China by Japan in the years leading up to World War 2?
It is estimated they killed 9 million Chinese. And yet it is Htler that gets all the publicity
for the millions he killed. Well, Japan and the muslims have an equally bloody history.

One historical account estimated the number killed by the Muslims during their centuries of conquest in the Mediterranean and the Middle East is estimated at 250,000,000.

People are ignorant of these facts of history, because of the Hollywood movies constant focus on World War 2 movies.

So these other cultures and their bloody genocides are allowed to sneak under the radar.
