Neglected Truths About Existence

I'm Igbo by ethnicity.
I'm Nigerian by nationality.
I'm African by geographical location.

But you know what;

I'm human by thinking.

Are you African, European, American, Asian what have you? We are one. Existence is a common experience of humanity. As long as we exist; we all think, feel, act, and breathe no matter where you come from or believe in.

This is a call for international government. We are better together.
We should team up to make this world heaven.
Best of mankind should be our common value.
You are because I'm and I'm because you are.

We all detest poverty and suffering.
We all advocate for affluence and happiness.
We all wish for the sense of belonging.
We should build on our strength and abate our weaknesses.

Unity is preferable to division.
Mutual exhortation is preferable to mutual suspicion.
Love is preferable to hate.
Unity in diversity should be our watchword.
Existence is our essence and substance. While, race, color, geographical location, language are all accidents.

Psychological openness and the ability to integrate those things that unite us as humans I think will go a long way to promote the feeling of love and harmonious coexistence like in the areas of empathy, sports, civilization than it is to paying attention to the intricacies of race, color, language and geographical location.

Let's build our essence not accidents.
